THE acknowledged accordion master of that generation. No slouch as a pianist either.

Read "Dick Contino's Blues", a longish but riveting short story by James Ellroy, which I read in the 1994 "CRIME" issue of Granta. Not only could he play like a devil, but he was a man of great character and courage.

I had that happen to me once when performing on my accordion. I did not have a piano to finish up.

I thought I'd squeeze in some time to listen to this.

Omg, I've read about this, but didn't realise the footage survived! Amazing!
