Two well-known accordionists from the Washington DC area made the news this summer. Frank Busso, Jr. was featured in the Washington Post and Joan Grauman had two feature articles: one in the Bethesda Magazine and one in the Frederick, Maryland Gazette.

The subject matter of all of these articles is their involvement in the accordion world, of course! Joan and Frank are both on the governing board of the American Accordionists’ Association. In addition to being involved with the AAA, Joan is also the Vice President of the WMAS. She is also the illustrator of the new book,”An Accordion-What is That?” Frank Busso Jr.(please refer to story about Frank in this issue) is also a member of the US Air Force Strolling Strings and Director of the Busso Music School in Alexandria, VA. He serves as the Vice President of Sales and Education for Ernest Deffner, Inc.
