its European style music for many years.<br />

of accordions including Button Box,<br />
Piano and Chromatic instruments.<br />
Responding to audience demands,<br />
the band performs polka and waltz music<br />
of various European styles. The band<br />
prides itself on the ability to get the toes<br />
tapping, the hands clapping and the<br />
dance floor flowing.<br />
The Golden State <strong>Accordion</strong> Club<br />
was formed in l991 and is a very active<br />
organization determined to promote<br />
the accordion family and perpetuate the<br />
enjoyment this instrument gives to all.<br />
The club is comprised of three chapters<br />
NOTE: According to a ruling by a New<br />

“inherently dangerous activity.” Guests<br />
are urged to bear this in mind when<br />
planning their evenings wardrobe. Steeltoed<br />
boots are recommended.<br />
