from his father who was a renowned and highly accomplished accordionist. Gary has been
playing since he was a three-year-old.

He has performed with such groups as The Internationals and The Alpiners. Hailing from
German heritage, Dick currently lives in Piedmont. Mike Sarkisian, who lives in'Sacramento,
