This documentary has it all: great music, great interviews, great cinematography, ongoing thematic relevance to today. But we feature it on WU mainly for the clothing, both of performers and of the audience. Viewers might also empathize with the director's fascination with hotpants.

Once upon a time, there existed the Hohner Accordion Symphony Orchestra. Amazingly, in this age of mass-digitization, none of their work appears to be on YouTube.But luckily, other similar groups have stepped into the breach.

The Girl Gershwin
A forgotten figure today, Dana Suesse was once dubbed (by the New Yorker magazine no less) as "the Girl Gershwin," a label that probably did her more harm than good. In her era, her talents, in a woman, were certainly and unfairly considered "weird" on some levels.
