Dr. Carmelo Pino Passes Away, Washington DC - USAby Harley Jones |
Video of Carmelo Pino performing his arrangement of "Gershwiniana". Dr. Carmelo Pino, former AAA President, honored concert accordionist, composer, teacher, has passed away on the 20th June 2013 after months of serious illness. Dr Carmelo Pino was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago and I quote these heartfelt words: "To see a vibrant man like Carmelo reduced to living in a care facility, dependent on others for his day-to-day care, is heartbreaking. I miss the man who was Carmelo Pino, friend, artist, teacher, composer." Linda Soley Reed, AAA President We have a very full article by Joan Grauman, AAA Historian, about his many achievements online at: Carmelo Pino |
