Me on Radio Interview – Decemberists Accordionist Falls Ill
WDVR Radio Interview by Dallas Vietty
I was on the radio show “Swing Time with Art & Deb” Monday the 24th. The show is out of a small town in east central New Jersey. I played some and talked alot about musette check out some of the interview and my playing above. WDVR Radio from Sergentsville, NJ.
It was announced that the Decemberists accordionist Jenny Conlee has breast cancer. The Decemberists are a great band, I saw them in 2009 at Philadelphia Folk Fest. Their sound has relied heavily on the accordion artistry of Jenny and it is sad news to hear she is afflicted with this disease. I wish her the best luck and strength. The Decemberists web store has a nifty T shirt featuring the pink ribbon and an accordion (top of the page), which is to raise money for Susan Komen Race for a Cure.

The interview and the music were just wonderful.
