Arthur Seebach
I’ll let Arthur tell you this in his own words, I played ……and poorly the following: “Pride of Petravore”, “Orange Rogue- Irish Dance”, and “Ships A Sailing”. I started with a group of people in San Anselmo aprox. 4 years ago (the leader Jim English and Jennifer, who have since moved to Ireland). We were playing different tunes, mostly I got introduced to Irish – Scottish – Gaelic music. Totally new music for me at the time, I started learning them on my old friend, the acoustic guitar. A prior car accident at the time when I started to play Irish music severed the ligaments to my little finger and the ring finger in my left hand . I was struggling more and more, playing the guitar at the time and finally had to stop. At that time at an estate sale I bought my old Hohner accordion. Jim English played different instruments and also repaired and played the accordion. His influence and his help to repair my just bought accordion got me to where I am today. At that time years back, I had also joined up with musicians at the ST. Isabella church in Terra Linda and I still play there . (now with the accordion and I struggle there a lot playing the Irish rhythm, because of my um- pah pah upbringing or getting reintroduced to um-pah pah…… you know where !!!) In the past I also have had the opportunity to play with the owner and their friends at the “Accordion Apocalypse “ store in San Francisco..

Robert Lunceford, Accordionist | Christiane Lelaure, Vocalist | and Al Haas, Guitar and vocals
Close your eyes and let the music of La Guinguette transport you into the heart of Paris, or perhaps a small town or village in southern Italy. Enchanting melodies made famous by the likes of Edith Piaf, Fabrizio De André, Lucienne Delyle, and Jacques Brel are woven into an embroidery of accordion, guitar, and vocals, performed in the original French and Italian languages.
