OAC April 2014 Meeting Minutes ! Barbara Duer convened the meeting, attended by 19 members and one guest. A meet-and-greet period started the meeting. Members greeted each other and welcomed guests. ! • The Accordionaires (director Dan Orza and members Lois Roth, Karen West, Maggie Abel, and John Buchanan) performed for the Club. They played “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” “Rain Rain Polka,” “April Showers,” “April Love,” “Easter Parade,” and “Peter Cottontail.” ! • Tom Phillips led Myke Dixon, Steve Scott, and Maggie Abel in performing “Join The Fun” from Book One, played in rounds. ! • Two members demonstrated unusual instruments. Bob Mansfield played “Blue Bottom Button” on a 12-base Weltmeister button box, followed by “Jambalaya.” New member Myke Dixon displayed an electric chord organ, which sits on a tabletop. The chords represented by buttons are in the same order as an accordion’s bass buttons. !! • T. Z. Wright played “Sun and Moon” and “Cajun Angel.” Jim Whitten played “Let’s Dance the Polka,” accompanied by Dick Albreski. Bob Mansfield then played “Pizzarelli,” Dick Albreski played “Corinne,” and Dan Orza played “Waltz Allegro.” ! • Barbara Duer will want to know in May the names of members wishing to play in the August concert and their music titles. Members will begin in May to play their concert pieces at the next few Club meetings to rehearse for the August concert. Barbara said members with percussion instruments will be available to accompany performers, if desired. ! Because of bad weather, April’s pizza party was rescheduled to the May Mother’s Day meeting. Karen West will continue recording the RSVPs for the May pizza party. ! Respectfully submitted, Maggie Abel, OAC Secretary ! April Minutes Maggie Abel !Page ! May 2014! The Oklahoma Squeezins 4
