Mario Pedone

This month's meeting of the Good Time Accordion Club features a special performance by Mario Pedone.

Born in southern Italy, Pedone's family moved to Venezuela when he was eight years old and it was there that he began to study the accordion, first under Miguel Casas Augé and later with Roberto Ruscitti. Today, he lives with his family in Sugar Land, Texas, where he has arranged and recorded hundreds of tunes including many of his own compositions. His musical range includes, but is not limited to Classical, Latin, European, American standards.
