Hey Cory,
Your accordion performances are Fantastic! You are one Extremely Talented accordionist and more importantly musician. I must say this ... Move over Dick Contino, Tony Lovello, and Frank Marocco and make room for the new #1 in accordion, CORY PESATURO!

Cory,
My wife and I truly enjoyed your performances at the Park and Blackstone Theaters. I've played the accordion for many years and have seen the downward trend in its' popularity. But you show off the instrument in class act style. Classical, Ethnic and unparalled cutting edge jazz styling: all played with amazing dexterity, speed and accuracy. You are "connected" to your music and it shows when you play. There's something so different in your playing than others, and I'm not totally sure what it is.

God bless you,
Denis

Hi Cory -- hope you are well. A friend of mine, Marta Cook, was telling me about you last night so I took the liberty of looking you up. I play Irish music on the PA (and with Marta at times). When I saw your pic and the Roland box I thought I may have seen you at the NAMM show in CA a year or two ago(Yes You did Jimmy). Anyway, just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that the stuff I heard on your site is brilliant! Keep up the great work -- hope we'll meet in person some day too...
All the best.
Jimmy

Hey Cory:

You are a real leader for the accordion world. I applaud you as a 63 year old who has played since age 9. I love the V line!

Wow! I'm completely blown away by the way you play this instrument! I've recently purchased a used 120 bass piano accordion and am interested in taking lessons locally here in RI. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions or recomendations? I'm in love with everything about this instrument! Congratulations on your success and thank you for the inspiration!

Cory -

I recently bought your album Crosswinds, and I love it. Bravo! There is a video of you on youtube playing a very interesting piece that sounds like a spanish guitar and bass. It is awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. You are amazing!!

Hey Cory how are you doing? I have been searching for family and came across you. we share the same last name and am curious to find out how we are related. My fathers name is Vincenzo and he is from Benevento, Italy. hope to hear from you soon. I Love the music: It is Amazing!!

October 20th, 2008 | Adam Feldstein
Cory,
I recently saw you play on stage in New York. I have been closely listening to accordionists for 40 years and I must say, there is something truly unique about the way you play compared to all the others I’ve heard over the years, and I'm not talking about your speed which goes without saying. Visually, you must have studied Dick Contino - Good Choice! You have an unbelievable future ahead of you, and I wish you the best.

August 26th, 2008 | Sandra and Forrest
We wanted to thank you for your performances at the Festival in Providence. You play the accordion like No other person we have Ever heard, going from old Italian songs to fast jazz and never missing a note! We also loved meeting your proud mom and grandfather. You are such a great credit to your generation and we are all proud of you!

July 30th, 2008 | Sharon DiFronzo
Hey Cory - Great work! I'm a singer from Medford, MA, originally from the North End of Boston. My mother is a Pesaturo - they are all from the North End. Any chance that we are related? Hey, we are both musicial. my website is www.screaminheart.com and www.myspace.comsharioni. Please drop by when you can - maybe we're distant cousins! Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Sharon DiFronzo

Cory,

You play just Out of this world! So much speed but Soo feeling and meaning. I'm also sure Noone can do quite what you do with that Roland box. Hope to have you again sometime!!

April 27th, 2008 | Ragda
Dude. Psyched to discover your seemingly interesting music during the '08 F1 Spanish GP broadcast on SPEED in the US today. After Googling, stunned to see you had Lil' Rhody roots (like me!).

Cory - Thanks for the great little concert at my dad's in New Jersey on Thursday. He was Thrilled with your music and delighted to see you, your dad and granddad. But hee was Truly Touched by your comment that he is the "Greatest Ever Accordion Teacher!" I hope this gets on your Guestbook so fans will know just what a kind and giving person you are. We so appreciated you travelling to NJ four hours at the crack of dawn, especially when you have a big gig coming up along with final exams and a show Saturday. Love ya', Charlie and Barbara

Dear Cory,

I'm sorry you were never properly presented at the crazy italian fest we had, and I admire your humility in not letting that faze you. I hope we'll have the opportunity to actually spend some civilised musical time together. I'm certain that you're as decent a human being as you are a Splendid musician. I'm thinking of doing a REAL Neapolitan concert with your participation. All the best,
Ralph Marcarelli

Hey Cory,
Love the playing as usual. I really like the jazz innovations on Arrivederci Roma. Cool stuff. Maybe we could turn some of the italian songs upside down like that on a cd. Where's my link bro? Haha, I'll put you on my website. Talk to you soon.

As a former accordion player (my brother and I played professionally for about 8 years, we were known as "Roman Twins) I found you to be one of the best!

I can't believe I live in Boston, I'm a former accordion player now switched to keyboard, jazz lover, and haven't heard about you before. Came across you accidentally in YouTube. Makes we want to play accordion again. I'd love to know when you'll be back in the Boston area. I will defintely be there! Great sounds!!

Hi, from Vancouver, Canada,

We have a little radio show out here Accordion Noir, and we'd be happy to play your stuff if you get us some. I read your recent Boston Globe (?) review, and we're talking with the Roland people about coming on our show, so it'll be nice to hear some of that stuff.

I voted for Art Tatum in your survey; it was interesting how evenly the results were devided. Matter of taste I guess. Fun

Hey Cory,
It's G! So sorry that I wasn't around last weekend to attend the show at Chan's. I did steal Mrs. Suchodolski's CD, though and love it! I especially like your original.
I'd love to buy a CD but I'll have to insist on having it signed. :) Let me know how I can do that.
Wishing you all the best!
Love,

Cory -
You were absolutely wonderful in Milwaukee. On Sunday, we saw your concert and then we saw you perform with Frank Tenaglia and later with Aaron Caruso. You were all over the Festa and everyone was Amazed with your talent. We seldom see someone who plays the accordian so well and then the sax and clarinet fantastic. Thank you for all the great entertainment!! See you at Sergio's...
