Great little documentary video about Petosa Accordions β€” a long time #Seattle based company (now up in Lynwood) making some of the very best #accordions available. I love the footage here if the old Wallingford shop.

An acoustic band performing on a stage under a big chandelier. From left to right there is: a button accordion player, an acoustic guitar player who is also singing, a bass player to the rear, and a mandolin player. Behind the guitar player is a drum kit, but the view of the drummer himself is blocked.

Wow, I was comparing to an image I have taken from Cameron Pass. Totally got it wrong. Here’s the view from Cameron pass:

This looks like a view of Mount Olympus from the Hurricane area in the northeast part of the park. The road wash-out this winter was at the Hoh rainforest entrance on the west side of the park. The Hurricane ridge area should be accessible this summer. Maybe the Hoh road will get fixed too.

It’s BandCamp Friday. If each of our followers bought our album, we’d get all the money and be rich and retire to live like kings in Patagonia! We’d still play all our March shows, but April would be grand.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
