HYoward Noel is playing the drums. I'm pretty sure that Bradley Venable is playing accordion.
Back in October, I saw them at Randol's. I was impressed by the guy playing accordion. Except for playing with Howard Noel, he doesn't play with any other bands. Bradley's father is Jimmy Venable. That's all I know about, but I liked his playing, too.
I dont know his name but I see him at Randols a lot and he is a good young player and as you can tell by the crawfish on the bellows he is playing the best accordion ever made a MARTIN
Re: Re: Who dat? Oh, just a Hohner GOLA, that's who...
The best accordion ever made is the HOHNER GOLA which is available in piano, button chromatic, and button diatonic versions.
They take about 2 years to build and cost between $25K and $50K depending on the model.
Each bellow fold is reinforced with a canvas made of Egyptian cotton and has a reproduction of the infamous painting, "The Death of General Wolfe" by the American artsit Benjamin West, handpainted on the bellows.
All hardware is hand-forged from British steel and plated in 22 karat Klondike gold.
These accordions are so beautiful, you can literally eat them as many of the working parts are manufactured out of lobster -- unlike the fakey, cartoonish crawfish on the Martin bellows.
The sound of these Gola boxes have been tuned by Sirens. Yes those Greek Sirens from the tiny island of Anthemusa. Once you hear these boxes play, you cannot resist them.
Well, Martin or not, it seems a very leaky one at times when he's not even pressing a melody note he's really grasping for air ..... Nout
