Ciao! I'm Jeanette. I'm a vegan, a singer, & a klezmer accordionist. My accordion was built in Castelfidardo, Italy & hope to bring it back to the Bugari factory for repairs & tuning. I want it worked on by a master craftsperson, & also, I've never been to Italy!
I like to teach music, play music, paint, sing, study Italian, garden, hike & cook. I love Italian painting, music & cinema (especially the films of De Sica & Monicelli, the music of Nino Rota, & the libretti of Da Ponte).

Hello! Mi chiamo Janette. Sono vegana e toco la musica Klezmer alla fisarmonica. Vorrei viaggere a Castelfidardo, Italia, a la fabrica Bugari, para ristorare la mia fisarmonica e viaggere en Italia. Mi piacono molto la musica, gli arte e la cinema de Italia, specialmente i filmi de De Sica e Monicelli, la musica de Nino Rota, e i libretti de Da Ponte.

Mi piace apprendere e insegnare la musica, lavorare in la cucina o il giardino, studiare l'italiano, camminare e cantare. Anche mi piacono tutti gli arte italiani, specialmente la pintura, la cinema, e l'opera.
