The 'Cordeen and Me: A Blog Post

[SteveH]

I invite all my fellow Accordionistas to read my Apologia Pro Vita et Accordion Sua on Dallas Viettys excellent http://www.rebelreed.com

Find it here:

Enjoy.

I did enjoy it, it was entertaining and (as you probably intended) it would also be quite informative to a newcomer. There might be a grain of truth in your last sentence too.

The website it's on has a very funky layout to the point where I was a bit confused. There was another interesting article on there, I wonder if I can find it again. Anyway I'll be interested to see what you post next.

Yes, I thought so: there was an article on there that set out some of Fredric Deschamps' ideas, I glanced at it and it looked interesting, but I can't find that screen any more.

anyway that's nothing to do with your post - so good luck with your accordion.

Hi, Matt - Youll find it at http://rebelreed.com/my-brief-description-of-deschamps-accordion-technique/

Rebel Reed is a great site, authored primarily by my teacher, Dallas Vietty, a talented and well-respected jazz accordionist based here in suburban Philadelphia. Its worth joining (no cost) and returning to: http://www.rebelreed.com

"...the accordion is the raised middle finger of musical instruments."

LOL! Well, maybe not as, um, offputting as that. But yeah, it's definitely not an instrument you play if you're overly concerned with what anyone thinks.

I tried to join RebelReed for free but it doesn't give an application form.

I’ll check on this for you. I have my lesson with Dallas tomorrow, and he can tell me if anything is wrong with the site. I’ll get back to you

Hi, Again --

I spoke to Dallas about this at my lesson yesterday, and he acknowledged there are problems with the site & that he hasn't paid much attention to it lately. I'll let you know when he updates it, but I have no timetable at present. Sorry about that!
