Laughing with the Trickster: On Sex, Death, and Accordions ❤️‍🔥🪗
by Tomson Highway
Spotted the word #Accordion on the cover of this one at the #VancouverPublicLibrary
Brought it home, but later that day picked up my own copy from Vancouver’s

Laughing with the Trickster - Tomson Highway

Here to remind us that the reason for existence is to have one blast of a time and to laugh ourselves to death. Celebrated author and playwright Tomson Highway brings his signature irreverence to an exploration of five themes central to the human condition: language, creation, sex and gende…

Nice people sending @… emails congratulating us on our “outside the box”radio show thinking we will really like their creative music
But, we have this one constraint…
It’s there in the name of the show! 🪗
That’s the one box we won’t go outside
We love to hear from listeners and artists 🥰
But if you go to the effort to send music to play on the #Accordion radio show, make sure it has some squeezebox in there
(Sending snacks might help too 🍪)

The Shape-Shifting Sounds of the Accordion
Maria Telesheva from Eugene, Oregon, plays B-system chromatic button accordion
226 buttons, 35 lbs / 16 k, quite a workout — playing pieces by Bach and Schubert
In this well-filmed performance you can watch her hands dance on both sides of the instrument❤️‍🔥🪗
In a short ted talk she discusses how she learned as a child from her father/teacher, and plays two beautiful pieces

No 🪗 on this fiddle/cello? Version, still
Wish we could play it on @… radio. But there’s plenty more to choose from
It opens with another cover, with #accordion! From #BonnyPrinceBilly’s “I See A Darkness” which always needed squeezebox so it’s about time 😊

The Accordionist (French: L’accordéoniste) is a 1911 oil on canvas painting by Pablo Picasso
(Working on a book proposal to resubmit my #AccordionRevolution for a 2nd edition and got distracted by this classic painting)

Maria Telesheva 🪗 on #NPR's #TinyDesk plays #Bach's Prelude and Fugue No. 2 in C minor (Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1)
With the crowd breaking into applauds during a pause, like in the old days before things got so uptight in the #ClassicalMusic scene 👏🏼
Plus some other young musicians doing cool stuff that hopefully they enjoy

Online translation recognizes Cape Verdean Creole 🇨🇻 #HipHop as Portuguese

Just returns the original text back at you in the box where it’s supposed to give you “English”
