In the heart of the Midwest, where rolling hills meet serene lakes, there exists a cultural tapestry woven with the threads of polka rhythms, folk melodies, and spirited dance. And at the center of it all stands the unassuming yet intriguing accordion.

Here’s a run-down of our panelists: Frank Anderson: A Film Maker, a Musician and Wisconsin Historian. He played accordion on the Killdozer track "Free Love in Amsterdam" off the album “12 Point Buck”. He currently plays in a band called Zebra Mussel. Len Nelson: A seasoned accordionist and former radio host from Appleton, Wisconsin. He helped put a spotlight on local music in many ways during and after his radio career. Most notably by starting a show called “Home Brewed” on WAPL which continues to this day. He currently acts as the MC and plays accordion in the band STEEM. Danny Jerabek: Hailing from Ripon, Danny is a multi-instrumentalist. His love affair with the accordion began early, fueled by family traditions and the spirit of Wisconsin’s festivals.

During June of 2011 a couple of my siblings and I planned a trip to Washington that we dubbed "Grunge-Cation". Being huge fans of Nirvana it seemed like the perfect time to go see the EMP's (at the time) Nirvana exhibit. Tony had been in contact with Kurt Cobain's Grandpa, Leland Cobain, and arranged for us to visit with him. It's been 30 years since the passing of Kurt Cobain and seemed like a good time to get Tony and Kelly together to reflect on our visit with Leland and Gary Cobain. We don't remember everything but hopefully you'll find some of this interesting. During our conversation we watched some of the videos we recorded at Leland's. If anything, we've got our memories recorded in case we forget anything else! Leland Cobain was born in 1923 and passed away in 2013.
