Im preparing my long-suffering accordion-book for publication (2018). I need a few fact-checker readers who know mainstream North American accordion history. Ive got readers for various ethnic traditions, but could use some who can warn me of errors in my Golden Age (1920-1960) sections. (I need some Canadian-history readers too. See table of contents below)
If youre interested, drop me an email at <EMAIL email=accordion.noir@gmail.com>accordion.noir@gmail.com</EMAIL>
Thanks!
