Happy 73rd Anniversary in Show Business DADDY O - December 7th 1947 - that fateful night on radio that CHANGED the Accordion World forever ! Miss you Contino ...
My Father was the same age as Dick Contino and played the accordion because of Dick Contino. And in his later years, even drove up to Seattle to buy a Petosa accordion. No one played the accordion with flair, verve and style like Dick Contino did because of the tremendous strength it took.
I remember listening to your father's program in the 50:s.. I forget the real popular male singer he discovered..and of course I remember Dick Contino on his show.
My grandpa met your dad in Korea during the war, Your father's whole USO tour stayed at the Chosun Hotel and met my grandpa who was the front desk clerk. I have a photo of gramps with Dick Contino and an autograph of Johnny Standley. At one point i had the guestbook of the hotel, which had your dad's wonderful signature in it as well. It must have been a hell of a party there that night in 1953!
Thank You. I have been waiting for something like this for a long time Ed Sullivan Show with Dick Contino Thank you Very Much. I followed Dick Contino my Hole Life
Does anyone know anything of the bass side in eight rows he playes here? Never seen anything like this before! Nice playing and fine artist he was! Love this!
This guy is a cousin of mine … if anybody reading this apparently the Contino’s half stay in Toronto and the others went to new York or Cali …. Cattolica Eraclea

Dick Contino was discovered by my Dad, Horace Heidt, on the Original Youth Opportunity Program in 1949.

Het is een spel op accordeon waar ik van geniet en deze nummers waren ook bij ons in trek als accordeon familie.
