Doctor Steve at Mireille's Bistro

Last night I was treated to the music of Doctor Steve, accordion master, at Mireille's Bistro in Beaverton.  Doctor Steve, aka Steve Gordon, MD, is a multi faceted musician who also plays clarinet and sax.  Steve moved easily among musical genres from classical, blues, show tunes, and pop.  We heard, "Black Coffee", "'Til There was You", "Yesterday",  "Amazing Grace", and many more.
His Roland accordion is not your basic squeezebox - this is one sophisticated instrument!  Although it somewhat resembles the accordion my Uncle Jack used to play, the depth and quality of sound is way beyond the scope of my memory of Uncle Jack's rendition of "In Heaven there is no Beer".  But, then again, that was Uncle Jack; this is Doctor Steve.
