Accordion News: Accordionists in Hot Water

  • Legendary accordionist Ramon Ayala was recently released from a mexican prison. He was performing at  a party when it was raided by the federales. Wrong place, wrong time is what’s being reported. Small story here on SF Chron blog.
  • Jan Lewan, beloved Polka icon of Pennsylvania, pyramid schemer, and subject of documentary film. Lets Polka has a great post with his own fascinating story of Jan Lewan and  links to the documentary, which looks great.
  • Not in hot water at all, but didn’t want to weaken my headline, Skyler Fell has another great press piece telling her story of being an artisan repairer and performer in the SF Chron, which seems to be the paper of accordion record these days.
