3July 2014 Meeting Review
by Deeana McLemore
July's program started with a wonderful warm up by theJam Band - this month led by Kate Froeberg - and someannouncements by Lynn Ewing. Next, Emcee GusGreyhosky introduced a very special player, StasVenglevski, who was in town as a featured artist at theATG Festival. Gus had Stas demonstrate the widerrange of the Bayan accordion. It has an octave higherand an octave lower than the piano accordion.
Stas openedthe programwith Asturiasby IsaacAlbenizwhichrequired veryprecisefingering andhad someamazingstaccatosuggestingboth guitarsounds andthe footworkof a flamenco
dancer. Next he played the March Finale fromKonzertstueck in F minor by Carl Maria von Weber.This piece is from the Romantic School and was playedwith a great deal of feeling and drama. A very melodicJok de Nunte arranged by one of Stas’ favorite professors,VyatcheslavGordzei, followed. It is a dance originating from Stas’home country, the Republic of Moldova.
Then Stas entertained with two Russian folk songs thatmimicked winter storms in Russia. The first was TangoCommander by Eugene Derbenko, which includedsome foot clicking and stomping to accompany theaccordion. The second was my personal favorite, a verymelodic and uplifting piece by Derbenko. Stas thenmoved to his own original compositions. First he playedAnticipation, a lovely piece he played earlier this year in asolo concert in Switzerland. His next composition wasPromised Tune written in French style. He closed with aBrazilian Tango, Odeon, by Ernesto Nazareth. Playingthis song required amazing speed with the four fingers ofhis right hand!
Jana Maas treated us to some excellent songs after Stasfinished.She played Star of the County Down, an IrishFolk Song, followed by White Ribbons by ManosHadjidakis who also wrote Never on Sunday. Jana saidthat 18 years ago she attended the Cotati Festival anddecided to join SFAC which led to Galla-Rini camp whereshe made many friends. Through SFAC she has metmany wonderful people including Stas. At Jana’s
request, Stas joined her fora Tango that she wrote,Tango of the Evening,which featured greatimprovisations by bothplayers. Then Jana playedMoon River for JimShoemaker and Blackand White Rag by ScottJoplin with great aplomb.By the way, she led aworkshop at ATG entitled“All the Great Things I Learned at Camp.”
Next was the break and time for raffles. BarbaraWinter, from The Leavenworth InternationalAccordion Celebration which was hosted by theNorthwest Accordion Society, brought a special gift forthe raffle. It turned out to be an attractive gingerbreadaccordion cookie with LIAC - 2014 written in the icing.(And it was delicious as I won it in the raffle!)
After the break, Stas Venglevski returned to play Musicfor a Found Harmonium by Simon Jeffis which includedsome unbelievable fingering. Next as requested byMarian Kelly, he played Summer Sunshine which Stasplays with Joan Cochran Sommers in their CD of thesame name. It was dazzling. Then he played a tune forhis Russian friend Ozante Naigrishi called PlayfulVariations by Victor Gridin.
Up next, SFAC President, Lynn Ewing joined Stas forsome duets. The first was Let’s Play Together which Staswrote for two friends, and he and Lynn played it togetherin Las Vegas. Next they played a waltz, GenerationRelation, that Stas wrote for their mutual friend JoanGrauman. It was exceptionally well done.
Some animal pieces followed: Cats Ball which Staswrote and Lynn had played with Sharon Greyhosky. Itwas a grand duet with superb harmonizing between theaccordions - and included some humor! Next was Mice
Party Polkaalso by Staswith abreathtakingending. After abeautifullymelodicMidnight Waltz,StascomplimentedLynn on herplaying, andthey playedBusy Finger
Tango which he wrote for her. Their final piece wasLatino Moment, with the second part totally improvised byStas. It was the end of a marvelous program.

THE FLASHING ACCORDIONBy Donna Dee Ray
I have been asked by Lynn Ewing to share myspecial story. The San Francisco Accordion Club,and Paul Cain in particular, were “instrumental” inbringing a nearly five decade pursuit of mine to abeautiful conclusion.
I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and studiedaccordion from Joan Cochran Sommers from agesix through eighteen. During that time I was concertmistress for the UMKC Accordion Orchestra andwon first place in the AAA Virtuoso division at ageseventeen. My intent was to attend college at theUniversity of Missouri at Kansas City Conservatoryof Music concentrating in Accordion. Instead, uponhigh school graduation, I went on tour with FredWaring and the Pennsylvanians playing Cordovoxin the orchestra, and eventually married Dennis Ray,a singer with the group.
At age twelve my father bought me a specialaccordion from Cecil and Joan Cochran, the futureJoan Sommers. I did not know that it was one of akind but I loved it as did all of my friends. It was aGiulietti accordion with lights corresponding to notesbeing played. A year before my wedding, moneywas short and I sold that accordion to pay for mywedding dress. My immature thinking was that Iwould be playing Cordovox for the rest of my daysand would not need this accordion.
For years I regretted letting that accordion go andsearched decades for it. My husband heard about my“Light- Up Accordion” all those years but he hadnever seen it. I always wished that my children andgrandchildren could have enjoyed seeing it played.My search for that accordion ended last year when Ilearned that it belonged to a collector of accordions.Joan Sommers sent me an email attachment of a SanFrancisco Accordion Club newsletter with a pictureof Paul Cain holding that treasured accordion.
I contacted Paul by email once to let him know thatI was the original owner. I simply said that if he everdecided to sell it to please let me know. I am a boardmember for the Accordionists and Teachers Guildand knew seeing the accordion at the 2014 ATGfestival was going to be bittersweet. It had been 47years since it was in my possession. Somehow overthe years, it made its way to San Francisco and wasin the estate of John Molinari, a prominent virtuosoaccordionist, teacher, and a Giulietti-sponsored artistand dealer.
Two years ago, Paul Cain purchased a half-dozenaccordions from the granddaughter of JohnMolinari. This unique light-up accordion wasamong the accordions that had been stored for yearsin a basement garage. The granddaughter did notknow where it came from, but said that it had beenin the family for years. Paul restored theseaccordions and added them to his large collection ofsixty accordions. For this accordion, he convertedthe system from AC powered to a battery packsystem and replaced incandescent flash light bulbswith LED lights.
I know that this prototype one-of-a-kind accordionmust have been Paul Cain’s most prized accordionin his collection. During the week of the ATGfestival, I again said a few times, “If you ever decideto sell it, please let me know.” I did not really believehe would ever be interested in parting with it.
Well, the night before the last day of the festival, Paulsat down beside me and said, “You have an accordionthat I would like to have.” I had forgottenmentioning that I had a fabulous new acoustic/digitalaccordion that I was going to have to sell because itwas too heavy for me to manage. I cautiously said,“Do you mean you would trade the lighted Giulietti?”I would have mortgaged my house to get thistreasured accordion back in my possession. A tradewas perfect! You cannot put a price on somethingthat is priceless.
Paul is very happy and I am overjoyed! “I left myheart in San Francisco” when I brought my Light-UpGiulietti Accordion home after a 47-year absence.

MAGICAL ATG FESTIVAL!By Lynn Ewing
The ATG Festival in San Francisco this year was amagical experience with wonderful concerts every night,great workshops, orchestra rehearsals, and competitionsduring the daytime, and fabulous music at the meals. Alsothe opportunities to see old friends and make new onesproduced a truly special gathering.
I think Vardit Benjamin said it best:
As a first time participant in this event, I was amazed bythe level of professionalism on one hand, and the funfamily like atmosphere on the other. This small group ofpeople developed a beautiful culture, all with mutualevident love and passion, to deliver the beauty of theAccordion with so much kindness and desire to help andteach beginners like me and to learn more from the highlevel pros attending this event who mesmerized theaudience and left them in awe.
The Festival covered interests of all ages, levels andgenre, so everyone whether playing the accordion or justloving the music could enjoy and learn. I grew up with afather who played the accordion, and I played inorchestras for many years (playing French horn andTrumpet). I can honestly say that only after these threeamazing days, did I fully grasp the meaning of thisinstrument and its capabilities.
My 11 year-old daughter attended the last day of theconcert, and after listening to Cory play some modern popmusic, she became an enthusiastic ambassador for theaccordion, and is telling all her friends about it.
The San Francisco Accordion Club was well representedwith new and long time members in all aspects of thefestival.
Workshops were led by SFAC members Jana Maas on"Tips and Tricks I learned at Camps," Mike Zampiceni on"Bellows Hiccups and Other Maladies," Reno Di Bono on"Creating Interesting Bass," Joan Grauman on "Rhythmsand Melodies of Bulgarian/Macedonian Folk Music,"Steve Albini on "Orchestrating for the Digital Accordion,"and Steve Mobia presented his video documentary“Behind the Bellows."
Performing at meals and concerts were Reno Di Bono,The Ron Borelli Trio, Cafe Vienna with JoeDomitrovich, and Steve Albini with Jeff Lisenby. ThePeter Di Bono Trio, performed at the Gala Dinner andCocktail hour, and AbsolutAccord at the Friday eveningconcert, The Festival orchestra, which included ourmembers mentioned above, did a great job performing onSaturday evening.
Competitions were also well represented by SFACmembers. The Original Composition Competition waswon by Steve Mobia, and second place went to ourmember Rob Reich, who performed his piece Traceries.Lou Jacklich's students, Pam Tom and Scott Andersonwon a total of 9 trophies, and Gail Campanella and RenoDi Bono took first and second in the All-American SaluteCategory. Reno and his granddaughter, Gianna took firstplace in the Accordion plus One competition, and KateFroeberg also won trophies in the three categories sheentered. We are planning to have as many of thesewinners as possible play for us at our September meeting -so stay tuned!
In addition, SFAC member Paul Cain provided the sound,and our members Skyler Fell with AccordionApocalypse, Kimric Smythe and Vinny Rinaldi forSmythe Accordions, and Joan Grauman with Squeezin’Art had vendor displays.
The ATG provided time for a special presentation to SFACmember Lou Jacklich in honor of his lifetime dedication tothe accordion. The ATG also acknowledged Lynn Ewingand the San Francisco Accordion Club by presenting abeautiful engraved tray to Lynn at the final concert andincluding a sincere appreciation to Lynn and SFAC in thePresident's message of the ATG brochure.

I� M�m��� ofWALTER MIGLIO TRAVERSOJ��� 28, 1923 - J��� 23, 2014
By Dominic Palmisano
Walter Traverso, co-founder of the resurgent SanFrancisco Accordion Club, died on June 23, inRoseville, California, where he had retired to be closerto family members. He was a key player in organizingthe picnic, newsletter, and contacting all the accordionplayers here in the Bay Area to restart SFAC around1990. Along with his best friend, co-founder RustyBartoli, this resourceful and diligent duo started muchof what the club is today!
I first met Walter when I was just 4-years old whilegetting my first haircut. Before picking up the accordionin his 50s, he owned the Amazon Barbershop. Heeventually retired from his first profession and becameone of the busiest accordion players around. I rememberhim always on the go playing his Midi box at so manyvenues, sometimes playing two jobs on the same day.And what he couldn't handle in bookings, he referred toother professional players, keeping them busy locally aswell. After several years of playing solo, his wife,Terri, joined him in providing percussion, dance, andvocal accompaniment wherever they performed.
My memories of Walter will always be special -- toknow him at a very early age when we didn't know we'deven be playing the instrument -- and having thewonderful privilege to work with him in the accordionworld where I became one of his many friends.
This photo was taken at the Cotati AccordionFestival in 2004. From left to right: Dominic
