Accordion members activities

Most RCAC Most RCAC musicians play OUT for gigs but for 3 years I and some squeezing buddies have been playing IN. For the six nights before Christmas eve, I invite a different player to join me inside to play music to passers by. With the amp on the porch, we catch the attention of walkers who are headed to the next street over which has an awesome displays of lights.  So I have a built in audience.
Playing with me over the past couple of years are Bev, Jeanette,  Lisa, Delette, Coreen, Sue,  Don, Kathy and Roxi along with her husband Eric who sets up my equipment.   

I think this has become a tradition and I love it!! play OUT for gigs 

Jeff Nelson and I, along with friend Ken Ochsner (left) on tuba, were honored to play some German tunes for Jerry Lauzon, Mt. Angel's "Mr. Oktoberfest," and his wife Connie, Mt. Angel's "Queen of Oktoberfest," at his Vancouver assisted living home on December 15.  Jerry didn't miss a beat, adding his voice with gusto to all the German lyrics.
