Ace Your Test With Accordion Flashcards
Feb., 23, 2008
 Like many accordion players, Bill Funkhouser came to the accordion from the piano and figured, “It has a piano keyboard… how hard could it be?” And then, like many accordion players, he struggled to master the layout of buttons on the bass side of his accordion.So to help others making the same transition from piano to accordion, Bill came up with a novel study aid: Accordion Flashcards. Much like those old cards you used to cram for finals, these cards quiz you on the layout of basses and chords in the Stradella bass button system. The cards currently come in two varieties: a 12 bass set ($7.95) and a standard set ($12.95). Check out this sample card and start studying:Sample Accordion Flashcard (PDF download)

Our New Little Squeeze!
Feb., 23, 2008
 If things have seemed a little slow around here lately, we (for once) have a good reason. Last Friday night, Anna gave birth to the newest member of the Let’s Polka team — a bouncing baby girl named Sarah Rose. Weighing in at 8 pounds, 14 ounces, she’s everything we dreamed and more. And we’re already planning a trip to the local accordion shops so she can pick out her first box. Gotta start ‘em young, I always say.As you can imagine, our updates (and email response times) will be inconsistent over the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you have any recommendations for soothing accordion music that a baby might enjoy during a feeding or changing, leave us a comment.

2nd Fresno Gathering in Feb.....???
Feb., 23, 2008
 What's up guys, I just wanted to ask you all if you'd be interested in gathering again in Feb? I don't want to play the gathering out by having them too close together so i thought i would ask you all what you thought....If you are all down to gather again i was thinking to gather the first weekend of every month...if that is too soon, maybe since we gathered on the1st weekend of Jan. maybe we could gather on the 2nd weekend of Feb, then in March the 3rd weekend and so on to allow an extra week, not just 30 days apart...Anyway I'm down to gather any day.....How does the 10th of Feb. sound? It's a Sunday again. I think Sunday's are good because most musicians that play in a group have gigs on Sat....Let me know what you all think so we could get this set......hope more people could join our great gatherings....thanks hope to hear from all you interested soon.... For the next gathering I think that Sunday Feb. 10 is good for me......Lets get this going again.....any one interested?
