Accordion practising plans. Mainly blogging publicly about it to encourage me to properly do it! https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/26/accordion-practising-plans/ #Music #accordion #squeezebox

Finished typing up all 274 newspaper references I found to a German accordion player, travelling around Scotland between 1852 and 1903, giving performances, and offering local tuning and repair services for accordions and related instruments. He was still travelling in the north of Scotland just a few months before he died in 1903. Next step: analyse the data and write it up as an academic journal paper. This may take some time! #Music #accordion #History #Scotland #newspapers #squeezebox

Report from rural Sprouston in Roxburghshire in 1855, just outside Kelso in the Scottish Borders. Accordionist Herr Yung is currently staying in Kelso, and entertaining communities with performances around and about the area, as well as tuning and repairing accordions. #Music #Scotland #ScottishBorders #Germany #accordion #squeezebox #History

Almost done typing 276 newspaper refs to travelling German accordion performer, tuner and repairer in mid&late 19thC Scotland. Just typed reports of performances in Orkney in 1865 including this one in Holm. "As the accordion is much used in Orkney ..." Analysis and academic journal paper to follow. #accordion #squeezebox #music #Scotland #Germany #History #Orkney

Back to typing up newspaper references to the German accordionist and tuner I found travelling around mid/late 19th century Scotland. Have now typed up 240/276 newspaper references to him. Here is one just typed, from Selkirk in 1859. I will be writing this all up as an academic journal paper soon. #accordion #squeezebox #music #Scotland #Selkirk #newspapers

Very difficult week with my progressive neurological illness, but delighted to end with some accordion practice. Mainly playing my own arrangements, including here Despacito, and also Speechless from Aladdin, and Don't Shut Me Down from ABBA. Extremely light headed, and there were fluffs, but happy. #accordion #music #squeezebox #Despacito #neuro

From ten years ago, here's an archival episode of our weekly hour-long #AccordionNoir radio program of alt-#squeezebox music that for some reason never got shared online until now! You can (finally!) enjoy listening to it as digital audio via https://accordionuprising.wordpress.com/2025/01/06/accordion-noir-radio-playlist-2015-01-07-new-year-review/

I think I’ve mostly learned “Le Reel Des Soucoupes Volantes” on the box (as in knowing how to, not playing it in front of people with any real competence!) - not bad for “starting to look after I logged off work this afternoon”!
It doesn’t go badly on the two or three row, but I really like the simplicity of going for it on the one row - though you lose the left hand bass/chords matching “properly”…
