He also plays a full program of French, Italian and Irish Music and has the Calliope sound for Circus Music. He has peformed in most of the leading restaurants in the Milwaukee area either as an Ethnic Band or a Standard Band or Keyboard Jazz Band with Vocals.

In addition, Don will have his accordion music played in a new Latino TV show out of Los Angeles called "Rosarito" which uses the Southern Bird Dance, and in the upcoming movie called "Devils Cello" uses By the Fireside and Latin Nights. You will also find his music played in the movie "It Is What It Is" which uses "Havin' Fun" and "Romantic Waltz." The movie National Lampoon Dorm Don featured his song "Santa's Cheer" and Northwest Airlines featured several of his songs on their flights.
