- Seattle Weekly: NW Folklife Festival Recap
The Seattle Weekly writeup on last weekend’s Northwest Folklife Festival (lots of accordion acts involved!) mentions an accordion group called Hell’s Bellows but doesn’t include any links or photos. Does anyone know more about them? - The Adventures of Sydney & Her Accordion
Sydney is an ethnomusicologist researching Dominican merengue tipico, a type of merengue based around the accordion. Worth a visit just for her fantastic pictures of the Dominican Republic. - The Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Campaign for “Weird Al” Yankovic
Weird Al fans are raising money to get Al a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If you want to help the cause, donations are due by May 31. If Judge Judy and the Rugrats have stars, I think Weird Al’s is long overdue.
