Modifying An Accordion For Automatic Playing
By John McClure

Hi fellow MMDers, I just read an article in the current MBSI Journal
about the adaptation of an accordion for automated use.  The article
refers to a Vestal Press instruction book for the process.  Does anyone
have a copy or know where I might purchase one?

I will be leaving the frigid south on the 18th for the Big Island
of Hawaii; wonder if there are any musical sights in paradise worth
checking out.

Thanks,
John McClure

 [ Sure:  Ukuleles played by the hula girls !  And for classic
 [ Hawaiian music ask where you can hear the original "slack key"
 [ guitar in performance.  This is the Hawaiian fretless guitar,
 [ and it's related to the steel guitar featured by Bob Wills
 [ and other early Western Swing bands.  -- Robbie
