For the fourth and final week of National Accordion Awareness Month, and African-American Music Appreciation Month, DJ McSchmormac concluded with another accordion-heavy selection (dating from 1910-1950) including a couple of accordion-infused African-American musical recordings too! With thanks to Mathew Lasar of Radio Survivor for mentioning this blog in the article: “My Favorite Radio Valencia Blogs“, and also to Bruce Triggs of  “Accordion Uprising” for also featuring this blog, in the recent post “GRAMOPHONEY BALONEY: celebrates Accordion Awareness and African American Music Month!“. Surprisingly the blog has attracted more readers’ comments this month than any other month so far, when I had been expecting a month dedicated to the much-maligned accordion to go down in the annals of history as the show’s most unpopular ever! If we’re all still here next year, I’m going to do it again, except next time it’ll be waaaay better!

Moods are elevated on discovering the studio board’s output settings have undergone a miraculous transformation since the previous week, it’s pre-1951 sound reproductions galore, yet again, and during the second half of the show Seth Augustus drops by with his guitar & his slide for an exclusive live performance
