There was a young man who left home and moved into his own apartment.
After a few weeks his parents phoned to find out how he
was. “What are your neighbors like?” his mother asked.
“They’re a bit strange, actually,” he told his mom.
“On one side there’s a man who keeps banging his head
against the wall, and on the other side
there’s a woman who just cries and moans.”
“I’d keep to myself if I were you,” advised his mother.
“Oh, I do,” the son replies.
“I just stay in my apartment all day and
play my accordion.”
Please contact Phil Fox (480-427-2394) for performance opportunities for swing era pre-meeting or meeting schedules

The Arizona Accordion Club
MENU for JUNE 17, 2013 - A traditional Serbian everyday dinner - Khedlo Vespo Leli, or Roasted Pork served with Apple
Baked Cabbage and Steamed Buns
MAY 20th MEETING - “Bring your Accordion for Open Play and Jam Night”
Jay Stevens played the pre-meeting music on his new Roland accordion, complete
with explanations for some of the different materials he uses with it. He uses an
Orla drummer, programmed karaoke type background music he gets from Mario
Pedone and other CD’s, plus he has all of his sheet music on an I-Pad in front of
him. So, basically he is now a complete one-man band! And, he even was able to
sing the correct words to the songs! Boy, was I impressed! So, instead of just premeeting music, what we got was an instruction manual of how many things you can
do with the Roland! Good job, Jay - now we’re ALL going to run out and buy a
Roland! Thanks for all that - it was neat.
Pete Donatella and Jerry
Szymanski on accordions,
with Jim Winning on drums,
were up next. They did
“Sheboygan Polka,” “Sweet
Polka Dots” and finished up
with “Just Another Polka.”
Jerry left the stage then, and
Pete played “Anniversary
Waltz” in honor of Jay and
Connie Stevens’ 44th wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary, you two! Several
people got up and joined
them on the dance floor - very
romantic!
Then Jim and Pete went on
and played “Girl From
Ipanema,” and Jay Stevens
joined them for “Ariverderci
Roma” and right into
“Brazilia,” (which was Pete’s theme song for the whole
35 years he had his “For Pete’s Sake” band in New York
and New Jersey.) The guys did “Five Foot Two” with Jay doing vocals, then Bob
Doszak joined them to jam for awhile.
They played “Dark Town Stutter's Ball” with Leigh Dechaine singing, then
“Lichensteiner Polka” complete with Leigh singing and
the audience joining in on the
“Ya, Ya, Ya’s.” Pete explained that they had actually
played that one in five parts!
Bob Doszak got a request for
“Del Rio Drive” so they did
that next, joined by Leigh
Dechaine on his accordion.

President’s Message
Summer has arrived and we have opportunities to
enjoy our music at the Arizona Accordion Club
meetings. This time of year, the meetings are hard to
produce because many of our snow bird accordionists
have gone to spend these few months in their cooler
climates.
This is a good opportunity for you to bring your instrument and show off your talent in a more intimate, low pressure setting.
We all get nervous and feel like there is a world of critics. But the members
of the AAC attend our meetings to hear the music we all love. All performances are welcome. Our club offers you a chance to use the skills you
have been practicing at home and let us hear it. Bring your accordion, or
other instruments, and play for us. Enjoy the Arizona summer, stay cool and
keep on squeezing’
Are you crazy about accordionists ? Well, lets see what ya all know ?!
1) The first free reed instrument, like a accordion, is from China. What was it

I love it when the guys all get together and just jam! (My Dad and all
his friends used to all get together on a Saturday night and just jam
with all different instruments, and I never got tired of hearing them.)
“Once in a While” was played next, then “Twilight Time.” Bob
stopped playing now, and Lee, Pete and Jim did “Yellow Bird” sung
by Leigh, then “Alley Cat,”
“Marie,” “Frankie and Johnny”
and finished up with “Rose of San
Antone.” Really enjoyable, all
you gentlemen! Our last entertainer of the night was our president,
Phil Fox. He played
“Meditation” “What Now, My
Love” and ended with “Cuando
Calienta El Sol.” Very nice, Phil, and a nice ending to the evening.
Now for a quick “as my Dad always said” -“Politics is a funny business - one week
you’re on the cover of Time and the next week you’re doing it.”
See you on June 17th.
