About Charlie Crino

I am a songwriter and keyboard player and was part of the USAF Band in the past. I like talking to like minded people. Each of these compositions are a musical poem in that they describe a scene or situation using instrumental music. I hope you enjoy them.
I started Piano lessons at age 3 from my grandmother that taught me children's songs by rote. My Kindergarten teacher gave me free piano lessons when I played all the children's songs on the piano from memory. In High School I wrote original songs for our class original play competitions. Then became Catholic Church Organist/Pianist/Vocalist. Next joined the USAF Band of the East for 4 years, Then recorded 3 original songs in Nashville on "The Grey of the Morning" album by Gene Cotton, then many years in bands of all kinds and so on and on until today.
