Accordion fever

Internationally acclaimed accordionist Antonia Begonia led the Richmond All-Accordion Band in a parade to lobby for women's right to vote. It was the the RAAB's inaugural, and perhaps final, public performance. The Band has been so intent on perfecting its art that it may have not noticed that the right was granted ninety years earlier. Actually, Virginia waited 32 years after it was ratified by the rest of the states to jump on board, not wanting to appear impulsive. Whatever. The point is, the Band's performance was picked up by international media outlets and splashed in headlines to the cheers of its adoring public, as demonstrated by the clipping above. Squawk on, RAAB, squawk on.
