It is amazing to me that with this publication, I am beginning my eighteenth year as National Editor! Over the years I have produced over 204 monthly publications with over 5,000 individual articles! Time flies when you are having fun, as the saying goes. And as the years goes by, I enjoy my position even more. I feel it is both a great honor and huge responsibility to serve as National Editor of AccordionUSA.news sharing with readers all types of information about the accordion. I greatly appreciate the many people who have contributed ideas and articles to the news.
I have been very fortunate to work with the AWW Editor and Founder, the amazing Harley Jones ! Where in the world is he? Always traveling, covering and participating in accordion events all over the globe. Harley is always accessible, never too busy to assist and guide me with publication questions. I have learned so much from him and value his patient mentoring. I also want to thank former National Editor Kevin Friedrich for his encouragement, expertise, and continuing support.
Most importantly I want to thank YOU, the readers, for helping AccordionUSA.news to become one of the most popular accordion sites (along with the other AWW publications) on this planet! For 2025, this AccordionUSA.news publication has had over 1.5 million page views! So we can surely conclude that there is a continuing and growing HUGE interest in the accordion!
I would like to encourage you all to continue your participation in the accordion world! What is the accordion world? You know what it is. It is a network, a special bonding, an instant friendship, a musical bonding, a sharing of feelings and ideas about the wonderful world of the accordion. As your National Editor, I enjoy presenting the accordion at all levels of accomplishment from beginner to professional. All are worthy of recognition for the great effort involved in learning the instrument. Additionally, the added great benefit is the wonderful people you can meet that ordinarily you would never encounter. The accordion unites us all, bonding us with our love of music and the accordion.
Please read the AWW publications especially AccordionUSA.news. Have you see our new updated news format? I welcome you all to continue sending me your ideas and comments. I like to present an eclectic, well rounded concept of what the accordion is all about. By reading the AccordionUSA.news, you will learn of events, concerts, festivals, performers on the North American continent. With our featured videos, you can actually hear and see the performers. Did you know that ALL of the articles in every publication remain accessible in the permanent archives on these sites. Simply click on “Past News Index” at the top of the page. We are currently changing over all the news articles since 1999 to the new format for faster easier subject search plus quicker page loading and this work is planned to be completed by March 2026.
Happy Holidays!
