Mickey Bisilia (1918-2000)

[d***@gmail.com]

hello

I took lessons from Mickey back in the mod 80's I was trying to find something on the internet about hi and his accomplishments like all the others -

Friends,
It's a very sad day today. Those of you who have frequented the
JANPress web site may have picked up on the fact that JANPress got
started really as a personal shrine to the talents and achievements of
outstanding accordion teacher/arranger/composer, Mickey Bisilia. Mickey
passed away in his sleep last night after years of horrible health and
financial problems. Mickey's death marks yet another loss of an
accordion great from his generation, including Charles Magnante, Joe
Biviano, Frank Gaviani, Tito Guidotti, Rudy Molinari, Eugene Ettore, Joe
Spano, and others who preceded him. He will be very sadly missed, as it
would be difficult to find anyone who was more selflessly dedicated to
the cause of the accordion and his students as Mickey was.
