YES, I PLAY THE ACCORDION and have so since I  was 11 years old.

By the time  I was 17, I was an accordion instructor at the Columbia  School of Music in College Park, Maryland and have taught the instrument off and on for 30+ years. So, if you need an accordionist for that special event, I'm the guy!!! My repertoire is vast and the accordion is just the right touch for an Oktoberfest, Italian Night, Bastille Day or for an older adult's Birthday or Anniversary Party.

To hear some soundbytes of my accordion technique...          

And , I hope you enjoy some  INTERESTING ACCORDIONIST PICS (yowza)  

I had the privilege of being asked to do a guest spot with Steve Rouse from the Rouse and Company Morning Show on WQSR 102.7 FM in Baltimore, Maryland in October of 2004. Steve and the entire "company" was much fun and I hope you enjoy the sound clip!

These two shots were taken at the Hofbrauhaus located in Newport, Kentucky...just across the river from Cinci, Ohio.  They do know how to have fun in this town!!! Imagine !
