He was friends with several member of an Italian club I belong too. The club once brought him in, (favor more than anything), to play a small concert... and I played with him.

I am tempted to include a story I wrote about a very good friend of mine who played, and still plays, the accordion. But I won't... I'll just say... in the story I relate how my local area turned out many musician's.... some who made it pretty big... but none more than Arnold... my friend the accordion player... who for YEARS, played the William Tell Overture at nearly every local function held. No party, no wedding, no backyard BBQ, hell I think few funerals... were truly complete unless Arnold was there to play the William Tell Overture. - JamesJM
