Those
Darn Accordions
Hi folks --
We're happy to say the
new
Those
Darn Accordions CD -- called "Squeeze Machine"
-- is headed for the production line.
We just shipped the master and the artwork to
the
manufacturer, and the finished product will
be on store
shelves in mid-September.
We think it's our most eclectic and fun record
yet
-- you're gonna love it (oh yeah).
As always, you can see the rest
***************************************
Thank you for listening, and keep on squeezing.
