Welcome to the William Cosby, accordionist, web site sponsored by Athame Productions and Ride 'Em Hard Music.

The purpose here is to have some fun, and (after an absence of 30 years), provide one person's personal insight of some great accordion times and great accordion people.

But the primary purpose here is not historical.  There are very few dates and facts.  Instead it is what these people were about, how they approached their music, how they evolved, what they thought was important.  But above all, it is about the playing.  The versatility of the instrument.  And to be a part of the passion that inculcated everything about the US world of accordion in its golden years.

This Website is a work in progress.  I hope we can all work together to also make the rebirth of the accordion in the US a work in progress.

Explore the site.   Come back often and send me your comments!  There is a guest book tab on the Contacts page.
