1 OCTOBER 2014 Harold J. Estok Founder ALSI and REED BLOCK Inside this issue: President s Message General Information Happiness at ALSI Coming in December Coming in November President: Gordon Kohl Presidents Emeriti: (Founder) Harold Estok Ron Griffin Kjell Holmes Gloria Ensign Vice President: Mary Lou Erwin Meeting Coordinator: Bill Barr Editor/Secretary: Helen Estok Schoell Treasurer & Ensemble Director: Vicki Eriqat Recording Secretary: Sharon Marotte Newsletter/Webmaster: Bob Page Accordion News 6 Calendar 7 Playing Around 7 Volume 21 Issue 10 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE by Gordon Kohl Happy Days to ALSI Best Wishes to you all. It is an exciting time of year for accordionists. The Oktoberfests, parties and family events are made special with your added accordion music. For six generations here in America immigrant families have heard the beautiful sound of our musical instrument, the accordion. Who would ever think that an instrument with its unique "reedy sound" would excite listene r s, d a n c e r s and players. Accordion sounds are heard in jazzy blues, county, pop and classical musicians on the world stage. I have estimated the popularity of the accordion to students just during my life time in San Diego County at around 13,000 in number. I feel my number would be 15,000 beg i n n i n g s i n c e The accordion, like the piano and guitar, are all unique instruments finding their place in our diverse multi-ethnic culture. Music is such an important part to the human element and society. It touches our soul, spirit, and emotional psychic. No wonder it brings joy to us who play this wondrous evolving instrument. It has arisen from a simple instrument with buttons with 30 internal s t e e l r e e d s t o an instruments with 594 reeds. WOW! Not to forget all the electronic innovations developed for the accordion to bring it into the 21st century. I would like to speak to our present musical adventures. Today, we all have an opportunity to build our; song library, knowledge and performance music sets. Take the "bull by the horns" and go out and play for NEWSLETTER October 2014 others. Practice your music, and play proudly for people in ALSI, family and, when inspired, for public venues. Points to practice that may help all of us instumentalists include: 1. Proper reading of music notation 2. A comfortable fingering pattern to a note sequence should be selected 3. Write down slur marks, bellow changes, phrase starts and endings, swells to pitch movement up and down (this is your bellow control) 4. Keyboard and bass touch: finger pressure - articulation, staccato, legato, non legato, marcato, and extreme dynamic power fortes. 5. Tempo - a reasonable tempo that is attainable for the performer adds a realism to a song. 6. Practice a melody to perfection. It is most important to listeners. 7. For dancers, a songs rhythm pattern or style is unique and must have a constant flowing pulse for dancing. (continued on page seven)

3 Volume 21 Issue 10 Page 3 HAPPINESS AT ALSI by Sharon Marotte September 14, 2014 found a bunch of us at Mt Miguel having lots of fun with accordion music to dance to. It was a hot day but cool inside with air conditioning to keep us cool. Players around the village were: Crider #1 Jerry Odling, Crider #2 Bill Barr, Brandel Vicki Eriqat, café Steve Halpern. Jack Marotte was the sound guy & Bill Barr MC. -Al Piselli was our first player of the day. His songs were: Funiculi, Funicula and La Donna Il Mobile. Great to have Al play for us, more please! -Jane Ford played a German folk song The Moon is Watching. Jane is a good player with lots of feeling in her music. -Erika Baier. What a treat to have Erika play a solo. Her song was a Polish Polka Krakoujak. Good job, Erika! -Juergen Rosenfeld & Heldegard are back from Germany. It s always good to have them back with us. Juergen s songs were: Happy Wanderer, several German songs which included Beer Barrel & Auf Weidersen. -Vicki Eriqat & Linda Hibbert played several songs they played at the Scandanvian Festival the night before our ALSI meeting. Danse Pa Make Skjner, Life in the Finnish Woods & Hugo s Hambo. -Jerry Odling had been playing French music lately and doing a good job. His songs were: Au Bistrot Du Port valse & Trompette Musette. -Steve Halpern played a mini showcase for us using both his accordions Petosa with reeds and his Roland, electronic 14 lb accordion. It was great to have his wife & daughter in the audience. Some of his songs were: Tango of the Roses, Tenderly, some Klezmer pieces, Autumn Leaves, My Funny Valentine, Summertime to name a few. Break Gordon Kohl brought cookies, Jane Ford in charge of kitchen. Diane Polinski played during the break, strolling around, doing a good job. -ALSI Ensemble included 14 accordion players, Lois Lahoud on percussion and Vicki Eriqat directing the group. They really filled up the stage with all of the players. Their songs: Slovenian Waltz No 1 & 2, Henrietta Polka, Give Me My Heart Back, Finn Polka, Green Valley Waltz, Liechtensteiner Polka, Beer Barrel, Henrietta Polka. Great Job! Gordon Kohl joined the group and put in lots of fills & thrills. -Bob Page graced the stage to play Life in the Day of a Fool.

He played a medley of Irish songs, Funiculi, Funicula, Annie s song (John Denver s song for his wife), Clarinet Polka, So Nice, Take Five. Come back any time to play for us!!!! -Bob Page finished off the day playing several songs, of course in fine style: Stardust, Memories, Tea for Two, Moonlight Serenade.

4 Page 4 COMING IN DECEMBER ALSI PROUDLY PRESENTS: FRANK PETRILLI TRIO IN CONCERT On Sunday, December 14, 2014 At 2:30 pm in Bailey Hall. Frank Petrilli was born and still lives in Los Angeles, California. He started playing the accordion at age 7 and by age 16 was playing professionally. In late 2006, Frank began intensive study with the great jazz accordionist Frank Marocco which quickly evolved into a very close friendship. By virtue of their close relationship and mutual love of jazz, Frank Petrilli became Frank Marocco s protégé and Frank Marocco often commented that Frank Petrilli was like the son he never had. Unfortunately, this relationship ended far too soon with Frank Marocco s untimely passing on March 3, Later that year at the end of summer, Frank performed at the Fif Castelfidardo festival which is one of the most prestigious festivals in Europe. As the booking agent and artistic director of the Vibrato Jazz Club where Frank has frequently performed, Pat Senator wrote, Like his mentor, Petrilli gives new life to the accordion with impeccable phrasing and a smooth, fluid style. You will enjoy the music stylings of Frank s accordion and can expect some very good music coming from him in the future. ---

6 Page 6 ACCORDION NEWS & EVENTS ACCORDIONS: SO HOT RIGHT NOW. (Article excerpted from the Atlantic Monthly On-Line) When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fetes Krist Novoselic later this year, it'll be well-timed recognition. Not for his band Nirvana certainly doesn't need the publicity but for his instrument. He may be the first accordionist ever inducted, an honor that comes at a time when the accordion is experiencing a striking resurgence in popularity. Proudly accordion-centric acts like Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire, and The Lumineers win Grammies and top chart spots. Older ones, like Flogging Molly, They Might Be Giants, and Neutral Milk Hotel, now enjoy cherished-cult-icon status. In 2009, Carnegie Hall hosted its first solo accordion performance in 30 years. Accordion diehards and retailers say it really does feel like a comeback for the instrument, whose previous heyday ended in the 60s. What s surprising isn t so much that the accordion s hip now; it s how culturally dominant it used to be. Petosa Accordion s clientele has transitioned over the decades from early-century players who were trained in classical accordion from a young age, to lone solo accordionists pursuing it as a hobby, to, now, players affiliated with musical groups. Nirvana s Novoselic just stopped in the store a few months ago. Owner Joseph M. Petosa said the age of customers has also changed, with 60 percent now under the age of 30, whereas 10 years ago it was only 10 percent. Over the years the demand has increased to the point where they are now selling more accordions than they can produce. COMING IN OCTOBER ALSI Annual OctoberFest Performance near the fountain area at Seaport Village. Join us on October 12th from 1 to 4 pm where continuous accordion music will be presented by club members & Ensemble. Contact Bill to sign up. (There will be no regular club meeting in October. Please note new location for event.) Happy Birthday to you! 10/3 Jane Ford 10/6 Erika Baier 10/17 Barbara Odling 10/19 Gloria Ensign
