Eagle-eyed San Francisco Chronicle readers may have noticed a rather flattering writeup on us in today’s Tech Chronicles. (The piece is an extended version of a blog post that appeared on the Chronicle’s site on Friday.) Now you can learn more than you ever wanted about how Anna and I met, our accordion backgrounds, and the origins of Let’s Polka. Thanks to Chronicle writer Jessica Guynn for having the guts to promote accordions in the Technology section, and for calling Anna a “veritable Count Guido Deiro.”

You don’t have to be an Eagle-eyed Chronicle reader. Even a week old, the article is the top google news article for accordion, beating out the story of Thomas, the 17-year-old grand prize winner at the recent International Accordion Celebration in Leavenworth, Wash.
