Accordion Noir Radio

If you’ve ever felt that our weekly hour-long accordion broadcast is too fast and over too quickly, are you in luck! Here, in our offbeat Halloween tradition, is our sixth accordion drone special, with a special focus on very long, slow compositions that we don’t usually get a chance to air because… they would take up the entire program. Through a special dispensation by the un-planned programming following us in our radio station’s weekly schedule, for one week we took over some of that time so we could share with you this epic three-hour program. (This is just practice for our approaching 20th anniversary in December, which we will observe by taking over the entire station with accordion music for 24 consecutive hours!) If your Apple or YouTube or iHeartRadio (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to this Accordion Noir episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. If you haven’t yet, please consider making a pledge to our parent radio station CFRO for its membership drive! And now, here’s the playlist of this week’s episode:

AccNoir–2026, Draft Drone Show VI, The Bellows Embrace

Another drone and experimental journey with the squeezebox as tenuously tempestuously trustworthy guide.

Check out five former episodes in our archives. Bruce personally recommends episodes I (“The Night the Drone Stood Still”) and V (“Squeeze Into the Long Nights”). But II (“The Return of the Living Drone”), III (“𝄐 the Rise of the Long Tones”), and IV (“Night of the Restless”) were all fun

And if you know any drone artists, particularly Canadian ones, we’re always on the lookout for next year. We always have more than we can fit in (or remember), sorry we missed you Ben Richter!

Our cover illumination is again by Vancouver photographer Meagan Carsience. Her work involves the in-camera manipulation of light applied directly to digital camera sensors, with no digital processing to achieve the effects. One of her images was used on the cover of the recent reissue of Pauline Oliveros Album The Well and The Gentle.

If you immerse yourself deeply enough in the world of the accordion, you can find esoteric connections to it in all times of year. So, here we are, in October. Should we play some Oktoberfest music on our accordion broadcast this week? Rookie mistake: in Munich Oktoberfest is mainly observed in September! Instead, this week’s playlist is a celebration of folks in the big global all-time accordion sphere who celebrated birthdays this month! If your Apple or YouTube or iHeartRadio (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to this Accordion Noir episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.

AccNoir–2026-10-21, Weird, Jazzy, Country, Zydeco, Birthdays of October

Tito Guidotti (of Tito and his Swingtette) (1910-1982)
(I have a dead link to a “Social Security Death Index” for him that’s no help now.)
Guidotti hasn’t got any web-presence at all except some inconsistent and incomplete discography lists with no biography.
There’s only one track “Stuff & Things” that’s been reissued (repeatedly) digitally. Shameful since he’s obviously amazing. As I said, I bet his whole recorded catalogue could have fit on one CD. But no boxed set for you Tito! Line me up for some liner-notes if anybody wants to work on reissuing some of these. They’re just great. I want to collect and hear them all.

Leon Sash “The Master” (1922-1979)

Last night’s episode of CFRO’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast is again dedicated to the musicians of #AccordionBandcamp on #BandcampFriday, who tomorrow stand to gain handsomely if you decide to do your digital music purchases on that occasion. (If you’re not quite ready, there are two more coming up, one every month for the rest of the year!)

AccNoir–2026-09-30, Bandcamp Friday of the Lost Accordion

First the Lost Accordion!

A Black Bellini accordion was found on Vancouver’s Translink Bus 84 on Sept 16, 2026. (The 4th Ave. bus from VCC-Clark to UBC.)

If you or anybody you know is looking for such an squeezebox, please contact Translink’s Lost and Found to identify it:

Translink Lost and Found
Stadium–Chinatown SkyTrain Station
590 Beatty St., Vancouver, V6B 2L3
T: 604.953.3334
https://www.translink.ca/about-us/customer-service/lost-and-found

Now this Friday, Oct 2, is Bandcamp Friday, when artists get around 90% of proceeds on that site. That’s much higher than most platforms, so take the opportunity to use it as a cash machine to throw some support to some favourite artists.

If you like any of the bands we play, consider buying a record this Friday. Consider it a way to drop some fandom in the hat.

The change of seasons has arrived and Bruce is feeling it in his bones… his squeeze bones! This latest episode of CFRO’s weekly alt-squeezebox broadcast is primarily concerned with the crepuscular squeezings of music concerned with the autumn. If your Apple or YouTube or iHeartRadio (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to this Accordion Noir episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. If you haven’t yet, please consider making a pledge to our parent radio station CFRO for its membership drive!

Interestingly, Belgian accordionist Sara Salvérius, the “album cover artist” for this week’s episode, was chosen by Rowan to match the theme. He did the same thing back in 2022 when he introduced us to her for that year’s Equinox episode. This time however we have some of her music to play on the show and include on the playlist below.

And now, here’s the playlist of this week’s episode:

AccNoir–2026-09-23, Equinoxixox

From the Northern Irish band Beoga, mentioned on the episode for stepping off the Ed Sheeran tour in support of Macklemore’s speaking out for Palestinian’s rights.

“Thanks for all the support we’ve received following our decision to depart the US Loop tour. Whether you sent us a message, joined our mailing list, or simply took the time to listen to our music, it’s all hugely appreciated.

“Let’s keep the focus on Palestine and the Palestinians. You can directly support vulnerable and at-risk families by following and supporting the superb work of Lemon Tree Collective a grassroots, on-the-ground organisation that needs funds. Click Here to Donate.”

As the leaves change colour, Bruce’s thoughts turn to recess bells and paper bag lunches and after-school rehearsals in band rooms with photocopied sheet music on stencilled music stands. Yes, indeed, he has taken September and the return of our colleague Natasha Enquist to grad school as an opportunity to interview her and musically visit themes of education and how it can enrich your life.

AccNoir–2026-09-16, Back to School with Miss Natasha Enquist

Great to chat with Natasha Enquist as she heads to grad school at University of Victoria this month.
http://www.natashaenquist.com – https://linktr.ee/missnatashaenquist – https://missnatashaenquist.bandcamp.com/

This episode touches on ideas around continuing education, evolutions in artists’ lives, and the false narrative of musicians only being rockstars when they’re in their 20s. The same applies to everybody else. Remember Annie Proulx, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Accordion Crimes, whose first novel came out when she was 57. (Her second one won the Pulitzer, so don’t put off practicing along the way.)

Big shouts to folks heading back to schools at various stages of their lives all over the academic world. Play this episode whatever time of year is appropriate in your climactic-zone and institutional calendar.
