Alexandria Snapshot: Holiday Entertaining

photo

“Santa” Steve Czechansky walks up and down the sidewalk at Centre Plaza on Quaker Lane, popping into the small stores on the strip to play Christmas songs on his accordion. He squeezes the bellows in and out as he finds the button for the C major chord. He saids, “It is just for fun.” Czechansky has been playing the accordion since he was 7 years old “as the first male child in a Polish family.” He says he plays with a partner in a group called Buttons and Bellows.
