SEEKING

Band to Join, Accordion.

ABOUT

I am a semi-retired accordionist, Until I retired from my daytime job, I worked mostly weekends, in dance bands up to 5 men.The make-up was accordion, trumpet,,sax, bass and drums, and the music was American standards, latins and some rock. I also have a heavy backround of Scandinavian music, and have a CD of 12 original compositions (waltzes, polkas, schottises and Hambos). I am looking for another retired or semi-retired accordionist or saxiphonist to play for fun, and see where it leads. Possibly form a band.
