- I read in my local paper (Bloomington, IN) that John "Cougar"
- Mellencamp's 10 year associate John Cascella died Friday, Nov. 13
- of an apparent heart attack while driving his car near his home in
- Carmel, IN. Cascella, who has played a variety of keyboard instruments
- for Mellencamp for the last 10 years or so, will be best remembered
- for his accordian work on "The Lonesome Jubilee" and later Mellencamp
- albums. I'm not certain but I think he was about 45 years old.
- His musical contributions to one of America's most gifted songwriters
- will be sadly missed. God rest you John.
