The July USA News contains an extensive and amazing amount of accordion activities for you to choose from this summer.

I encourage you all to include one or more of them in your summer plans. I invite you to send me your comments and ideas about them or suggestions for future articles.

One of my goals as National Editor is to bring an eclectic assortment of accordion news to you all, in other words, something for everyone!

I welcome and would appreciate your sending me your ideas. I support the concept of featuring all types of accordionists and accordion music in the news. When you read about all the possibilities of the accordion, you will realize that the accordion has a great positive image and truly is the perfect instrument spanning all genres and types of music.

I can always be reached at Ritabelll@aol.com and if you are in New York City where I live, I would like to hear from you!

Enjoy the summer! Happy Fourth of July!!
