Talking with my good friend, musician/composer/author, Todd Jones.

Corky played keys and served as conductor/arranger for the accordion legend, Dick Contino, for over 20 years.

Going back to the beginning, early days in Fresno, CA.

Contino returns home from Korea, Restarts his career, and meets Leigh Snowden.

After serving time on McNeil Island, Contino is inducted in to the army and sent over to the Korea war.

Contino's case goes to trial.

The Korean War, the draft, and my father's case goes to trial.

The departure from Horace Heidt. Phobias and anxiety. The Korean war looms.

This is my father's story as told by him.

My father's story as told by the man himself.
