Betty Jo Simon
MIDI Accordionist



   Betty Jo Simon and the 2011 UMKC Accordion Orchestra



Betty Jo has been using electronic MIDI accordions since her stint in the 1970's with Fred Waring and now enjoys the variety of effects using the Roland FR X7 Accordion.

She strives to project a positive image of the accordion through her concerts and hope to encourage others to take up the instrument by demonstrating its versatility using MIDI technology.
