Anybody? Accordion?

Chicken Wire Gang Boys Band Brothers — super excellent band.

And Greg Bell is a major guy.

The accordion is one of my favorite instruments. It really don't need to be featured front and center to have in impact. I love it when it's used in the background to create a haunting melody. Like this one.

Ted Zaharias...don't know what has become of him. He's the only one in that video that left the area. Guitar is Stu Cole who went on to play with the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Stand up Bass man is Tone Mayer who had previously played a lot with Dexter Romweber. He's a local landscaper and blogger these days: Home - Tony Mayer Landscapes

The accordion dude is Greg Bell who has been running events like The Festival on The Eno for a while. He's a mover and shaker in the arts.

Wasn’t Tony Mayer the guy who played with Dexter Romweber and Chris “Crow” Smith in the Flat Duo Jets in an effort to keep Dex and Crow from killing each other?

Tony had two older brothers. Lived on Read Road and Chris/Crow lived on Wesley Drive in Colonial Heights (above Umstead Drive/Bolin Creek).

So much accordion interest! I visited with the fellow in Chapel Hill and made a purchase (see the photo below). We did not dicker over the price - I paid what he was asking.

I have to admit that there were times when I felt a bit like I was being interviewed as to my suitability to own the instrument in question. I think that says a good deal about the care taken in the refurbishing.
