  Imagen de arriba: Joey Miskulin y su esposa Patti, a la izquierda están su hija Katie y su esposo Brian O'Boyle.La Asociación Estadounidense de Acordeonistas entregó el Premio a la Trayectoria a Joey Miskulin durante la Cena de Becas Carrozza el domingo 8 de septiembre de 2019. Este honor es en reconocimiento a la contribución excepcionalmente prolífica que Joey Miskulin ha hecho a la industria discográfica, habiendo tocado en cientos de álbumes con muchos de los nombres más conocidos de música country y popular durante muchos años. El miembro de la Junta de AAA, Dominic Karcic, fue el Presidente y Maestro de Ceremonias. Desde la década de 1970, Joey Miskulin ha grabado con artistas como Paul McCartney, U2, John Denver, Ricky Skaggs, Andy Williams, Ricky Van Shelton, Emmylou Harris, Frankie Yankovic, Garth Brooks, por nombrar algunos. También cantante, arreglista y productor, Joey Miskulin es conocido por interpretar música country como 'Joey the Cowpolka King' con la banda Riders in the Sky y polkas con Frankie Yankovic, pero su versatilidad se extiende al jazz, evidenciado por su álbum, 'El otro lado de la valla'. También en 1990 por su innovador video / DVD "Accordion Styles and Techniques", que fue el primer video de este tipo. Los créditos de producción de Miskulin incluyen "Toy Story" para Disney / Pixar, y recientemente en Shanghai, China, donde pasó dos semanas trabajando con Walt Disney Company. Alrededor de 125 personas disfrutaron de un gran entretenimiento, educación y una maravillosa cena con baile. El programa contó con la Alianza de Acordeón de Long Island que proporcionó música. El programa comenzó con la Bienvenida y la Bendición ofrecida por el Dr. Joseph A. Ciccone, Presidente de la Asociación Estadounidense de Acordeonistas. Los acordeonistas Mario Tacca, Frank Toscano, Dominic Karcic y Phil Battiston tocaron música de baile agradable con percusión / voz. Todos quedaron encantados con el programa de conciertos presentado por el acordeonista Mario Tacca y la cantante Mary Mancini. Los dos ganadores del concurso de becas Carrozza 2019 se presentaron. Gia Ciccone jugó "Carnaval de Venecia". Nathan Chapeton, quien representó a los EE. UU. En el Coupe Mondiale 2019, realizó una emotiva "Lista de Schindler". Nathan ha estudiado durante más de diez años con Mary Tokarski, miembro y maestra de la Junta Directiva de AAA. Recientemente ocupó el puesto 16 en el Concurso Master Coupe Mondiale en Shenzhen, China, en un campo de 49 concursantes. Gia Ciccone, acordeonista de 12 años, es estudiante de séptimo grado y actualmente estudia con Mario Tacca. Comenzó a tomar sesiones de acordeón a los 5 años con su tío abuelo, el maestro Carmen Carrozza. Ella ha ganado muchos premios. Lea más detalles sobre Nathan y Gia en las noticias de octubre de www.accordionusa.com. El premio de Joey Miskulin fue presentado por el presidente de AAA, el Dr. Joseph Ciccone (foto a la derecha) y la Junta de Directores. Joey entretuvo a todos con una mezcla. Joey es amigable, atractivo y muy modesto acerca de sus dones musicales y muchos logros en el mundo musical. Ahorre la fecha para el 10 de julio de 2020 cuando Joey Miskulin será el artista destacado en el Festival AAA en el Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites en Alexandria, VA. El Festival AAA se lleva a cabo del 9 al 12 de julio de 202 y también presenta a Cory Pesaturo y Sam Reider. Linda Soley Reed recibirá el Premio a la Trayectoria de 2020 en ese momento. Se publicará un artículo ampliado sobre este evento en las próximas noticias de EE.UU., el 1 de octubre.

 Video and musical tribute by Cory Pesaturo, Ave Maria by Franz Schubert. Cory is playing the historic last Vaudeville accordion of Guido Snr. which he played from 1936 to about 1940. The only accordion he ever played that had his name on it, Guido Jr. claimed.On September 12th, 2019 Count Guido Robert Deiro passed away in a Las Vegas hospital. Born Feb. 18, 1938, he was 81 years of age and is survived by his wife Joan, his children and grandchildren. There will be no wake funeral or celebration of life. Eulogy by Cory Pesaturo - A Military Test Pilot (one of the most dangerous jobs in the world) - Awarded for his Meteorite findings - One of the first auctioneers of hotels in the country and First in Nevada - An Official Count, & Grand Chancellor of the ancient chivalry Order of St. John - One of the first Plane Racers - Massively involved in world charity donations - Was Knighted - An FOC rated Fencing Referee and is credentialed by the Academie d’Armes Internationale and US Fencing Coaches Association and former Chaiman of the Nevada Division of the US Fencing Association - Created a fake airline with the CIA during the Cold War to help with efforts in Africa and flew many secret missions there and was involved in gun fights - Auctioneer of collectable coins - Was friends with the early Jewish Mafia of Las Vegas - Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award - On the board of the Nevada Museum of Art for his work to help artists - A racecar driver and owner of many high performance race cars - A boat captain - Brought Pavorotti to Las Vegas for the first time - A member of the Quiet Birdman - One of the pioneers of Earth Art - Operated one of the first gyms in Las Vegas - An author - Was a Boss on the Casino Floor for card games - An actor in various movies and was on the Board of Directors of the International Film Festival CineVegas, and was a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild - Howard Hughes’ personal pilot and last of all, - Spent 10 years organizing and cataloguing his fathers music, pictures, items, and data, along with writing the book “Mae West and the Count” which came out only a few months ago. This was the life of 1 single man who became one of my dearest friends in my entire life, and my favorite fan; Count Guido Robert Deiro. We so sadly lost him this week. And trust me; there is more. There are also many more “First in Las Vegas” and “First in Nevada” records I’m missing. It is simply too much to remember. All of it sounds impossible and simply not-believable. But the son of the "Father of the Piano Accordion" had everything documented to go along with a gargantuan amount of evidence for everything he said, from a Cuban Sargent’s medal given to him by one of his Nigerian Soldier’s during his secret trips to Africa, to his Ferrari Club of Nevada badge, to the actual meteorite he found, to his mountain of certificates from every field of the world, to pictures with Howard Hughes and parties he was invited to which included the likes of William Randolph Hearst, to videos of him in his prototype race car. As someone that spent so many hours with him on the phone, and was at his house 4 times for 10 days scoring through piles of objects, I can tell you; It was all there. It was all true. His incredible memory of pilot friends who died in the 50’s to who ran what organization that he dealt with in the 70’s or what secretary of a politician he had to smooth over to get a deal done in the 90’s was savant-like. He was, and may still be in 2019, the "Most Interesting Man in the World". This week, we have lost one of the great Renascence Men of the 20th century, and our closest connection to Piano Accordion History in North America. The man who started it all. Musically, Cory Pesaturo |
