Dear Readers,

Wishing you all a Happy 4th of July! Time for fireworks, celebrations, and accordions! Now that indoor concerts are not yet happening many accordionists are offering street performances and drive-in concerts. Have you tried doing that?

As conditions improve and more indoor events are scheduled, please email me at Ritabelll@aol.com with details of your upcoming live rehearsals or performances so we can let accordionists and enthusiasts around the world know the positive news about our beloved instrument.

Read the USA News this month for new CD releases, online concerts, competitions and future performances.

It is exciting to see the accordion world slowly starting to open up again! In the meantime, continue your practicing, taking lessons, and how about performing for friends and family in a socially distant setting?

Enjoy the summer!
