Yes, they do go together. We are in Leavenworth for the weekend, partaking of activities in the Leavenworth International Accordion celebration. We got to town around 5:00PM, offloaded our gear at our hotel, and attended the first performance of the amateur bands. Of course, Tempo Trends Music, from Victoria, BC, had their normal extensive display …
I sure hope the Eyer Sisters win the Bands category in the Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration. Here are Ivy on the accordion and Nelia on two different instruments.

For many years, aside from his posts and podcasts with Jewels Jones, Catturd’s visual ID was only his avatar, a white cat wearing black glasses. Here are some representations courtesy of his creative followers. About a year ago, …

First, today is the federal holiday (and my first paid holiday from work), to commemorate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., the famous civil-rights figure who for decades inspired black people to improve their lives, and for some time inspired white people to defeat Jim Crow in the South.
