That was Big Jimmy....from 19 - 20 st on 5th ave ....wasnt it?


Danny Baba ....was a little more nuts ....but I wasnt afraid of him...he used to come into 23st Park with us .....

Joey Mino ....was shy ....he used to eat lunch at my house with my Brother Michael ....and John Guzzo .....he had the cutest walk (on his toes)
thanks for bringing me back to some good memories.....

We need to see a pic of you when you were younger ....I have to know who you were!


Have to run food shopping also ....see all of you hopefully lata!

Wow, Terry I am glad you enjoyed it, I got goosebumps when you told us that.....as we said yesterday, Music and a smell can take us back to moments in time that are special....and as Joe Pinto said, it's great when you can touch even one person with your music...Thank you

And no Suzie at this point im my life I am pretty grounded....no big head...lol......but just happy that I can still play at a level to bring enjoyment to others....even if I couldn't I can still find enjoyment in my music......I am so glad you like it. Thanks means so much.

Hi Guys....How is everyone today? Boy lots of pages to read.

Al - Is that you up above in the video singing???? Sounds great !!!!!

Patsy, Joe - Have a wonderful time tonight.....talking about old times...

Been in all day, trying to get stuff done in the house, but I am very lazy today.....I didn't go get my son after all, my husband and my older son went and got him home from Pace...I can't believe all the SHIT he brought home with him..I will be doing laundry for the next two weeks. lol

Anthony M. - Nice to hear from you, its been a while, tell your mom, Diane and your wife I said Happy Mother's Day.

Anthony U. Hope you are feeling better today.....

Terry - You made me laugh before with your stories about your mom and coming home late......whenever I was coming home from a club or a date we would have to get off on the 38th exit and that friggin clock was always staring me in the face, letting me know that I was way past my curfew.....and that horrible feeling of putting the key in the lock and the door immedidately opened and my mom would be standing there, boy you knew you were in trouble......lol lol lol

I really have get moving today...peek in later

Glad .....Al

with all these posts, it's triggering many memories....Does anyone remember a guy we called Jimmie Hambuger? he lived across the street from me with his mother, worked in the Laundrey on 20th street and 5th....he must have chased me around the neighboorhood for 5 years ....every day walking home from St. Johns....for calling him Jimmiey Hamburger....he was painfully skinney and wore big black rimmed glases....funny the things you do for fun when your a kid.....feel bad about it now though.

Oh ya Terry , now that you mention that I do remember.....remember my father who grew up with Stella, saying is she crazy.....I forgot all about it.

Patsy, I remember Joey with the Karate thing on 5th ave ....he was a Blackbelt, really good....I remeber him always trying to get me to go and join up....but that wasn't my thing.
