The "Crooner"

Working on the "Dean Martin Show" for two seasons could be summed up in five words, "YOU HAD TO BE THERE !"

From my bedroom trying to "croon" like Dino back in my high school days (I wore my "Pretty Baby" album out!) then standing next to Dean 10 years later, a dream came true for this kid from Chicago. I know my mom was listening with a smile on her face. Fast forward a decade later. I got her and my dad front row seats to "The Dean Martin Show." Dean "winked" at them, I'll never forget the proud look on their faces that Sunday afternoon. They were two proud Italians!
