JIM BESSER
I'm the guy honking away on various Anglo concertinas. I've been squeezing with the Open band for...I don't know, 10 years?
Who's counting?
I've played in contra dance bands, I'm in a
traditional French dance band, a band that does civil war reenactment dances and a mostly-waltz band and I'm a musician for the Foggy Bottom Morris Men, which is why I wear knee britches once a year when we
perform at the Glen Echo dance break. You didn't think that was my
advanced fashion sense, did you?
I play for a bunch of other Morris dance groups, as well, including
the ladies of the Arlington Northwest Morris team, many of whom are
Friday night dancers. You can see their antics on my Web site.
