Page 210 from my Accordion Revolution: “An Ursuline convent school may have purchased the very first accordion in Canada in 1843. We know this because the nuns kept the receipts, and several of these delicate instruments survive in the convent museum. The Ursulines also had various accordions repaired in Quebec City at the head of the St. Lawrence River, source for European imports in Canada. These French-style instruments would have featured in bourgeois and upper-class parlors in Quebec, but were out of reach of most people. In the later 1800s, more affordable German-style accordions and Anglo-German concertinas became available through the Eaton and Montgomery Ward catalogs. Then, in 1895, Odilon Gagné began producing the first Canadian-built German-style ten-button accordions in Quebec. He crafted every part himself, from the reeds to the bellows and buttons. His sons carried on the business and passed on the skills to [his sons].

First appearance of an accordion in Canadian history is at an Ursuline convent in Quebec City. We know because they kept the receipt in 1843

Copy of my Accordion Revolution book with many stickers and buttons from my Etsy shop, spread out before packing to mail.

A set of seven round white button badges with accordion register symbols of lines and dots that look a bit like cartoon stick figure ninja faces.

A bunch of packages ready to mail, all with red flamingo accordions stamped in them.

My mistake. I may have been forwarding posts from Australia or somewhere?

Oh I guess it’s today

Well there you go

I guess #WorldEmojiDay is the winning hashtag #️⃣

@emojipedia.org runs it

The day before #EmojiDay we can’t let the Flute Emoji go unappreciated 🪈

Accordion Noir 2025-06-11: It’s Cleveland Chenier’s 104th Birthday, and I’m 57 Tomorrow You never have to wonder whether we live in the world, because every week things take place in the world and often they directly or indirectly inform the theme of the content we feature on our week…

That’s demoralizing. We steal our weekly podcast images

Last week may have been the first overtly AI one

I’m not a fan of the aesthetics. But ethically, stealing seems similar, though it feeds the machine less 🤔

Tonight’s episode of @accordionnoir.bsky.social radio will praise the protesters with occasional #accordion in #LosAngeles 🪗 🪧

And a farewell to #BrianWilson accordion aficionado 🏖️

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Worth setting up a mastodon acct for this weekly amusement

Don’t reveal who the artist is if you recognize them or the album. That’s half the fun for those who don’t know

Video mentions one. More than enough for a case to be brought for prosecution if #Tesla wilfully ignored the risk

Certainly, the victim/target should be able to sue Tesla for hundreds of millions of dollars (proportional to the profits they are making on their unsafe product)

Various accordion/organ register switch symbols with their circles, dots and lines. With humorous subheadings joking on how the dots make them look like little ninja faces with various expressions. “Ninja,” “Surprized Ninja,” “Pirate Ninja” (has one eye) etc. A “Tango Ninja” has a square box around it rather than round, and the low/middle ‘bandoneon’ reed symbol).
