Dean and Perry
The Dean Martin Show. Dean and Perry were very close friends. Born in 1912 and growing up in small-town Pennsylvania, Perry Como was the seventh child of Pietro and Lucia Como's 13 children, after having immigrated from Italy. A close friend said, "After 60 years in show business, Perry Como hasn't lost a friend." I met Perry after his Christmas rehearsal at NBC Burbank. Introduced myself, he put his arm around my shoulder and we chatted. It was a wonderful moment. "Let's have a Vino for Dino and Perry!"

Shrink - Dean Martin
SHRINK
Ava, please send in my next patient.
DEAN
How you doing Doc?
SHRINK
Great, How can I help you?
DEAN
Well Doc, I’ve got a big problem, I think I’m Dean Martin, when I walked into your office, I bumped into Pat Boone on his way out.
SHRINK
Pat Boone, he’s one of my clients.
DEAN
I said aren’t you Pat Boone? I introduced my self, shook his hand and my whole right side sobered up!
SHRINK
Glad to hear that. Ok where do we start. Let’s start from the beginning.
DEAN
You know, I think it started when the Mayor of Beverly Hills put up a sign on my block, “Crawl and Don’t crawl.” I knew something was wrong.
SHRINK
That was nice of the mayor.
DEAN
He is a nice guy, the Mayor, two day’s ago he brought me Candy, not chocolates but the girl from the X Rated Movie.
SHRINK
Well, do you drink a lot?
DEAN
Not really, I put my favorite drink in the freezer, and after a few hours I eat it like a popsicle.
DEES
Please send in my next patient.
DINO
How you doing doc. (Cigarette in Hand)
DEES
How can I help you today? How do you feel.
DINO
To be honest Doc, I’ve got a huge problem, I think I’m Dean Martin.
DEES
Dean Martin?
DINO
You know the other day, I don’t know why but the Mayor of Beverly
Hills put up two signs on my block,
Crawl and Don’t crawl. I knew right away something was wrong.
DEES
Well do you drink a lot?
DINO
Not really I put my favorite drink in the freezer, and after a few hours I eat it like a Popsicle.
DEES
What does your wife think about your problem being Dean Martin.
DINO
We had breakfast this morning my wife she gave me the silent treatment. We didn’t speak a single word, it’s all my son’s fault, he wasn’t holding the cue cards high enough.
DEES
Do you like being married?
DINO
I love being married but I’m not a fanatic about it.
DEES
You must have a loving wife?
DINO
You know what it means when you come home when there’s someone there to meet you with a hug, a kiss and a kind word, it means your in the wrong house.
DEES
Seems like you have a lot of problems being Dean Martin how do you sleep at night.
DINO
Well the other night I didn’t get any sleep, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt something pretty hard under my pillow, the sidewalk.
DEES
Do you have any idea what time it was?
DINO
You know Doc, I didn’t know what time it was I drank my watch.
DEES
Care to talk about any other problems?
DINO
Yea, I saw my heart doctor the other day, I had a real bad chest cold. I told him I was having the chills, so he put me in a room with
a woman that was having hot flashes.
DEES
I’m sure you love your wife and she loves you. Do you treat her well?
DINO
Sure I do, the other day she asked me to look at some furs, so I took her to the Zoo.
DEES
Well let’s keep working on this problem. Your pal Dean Martin seems
to have taken over you life.
DINO
Welcome to my world Doc.
DEES
Well let’s keep meeting as often as possible, I know I can help you.
DINO
Right Doc. You know, something in
my heart keeps sayin, My some place
is here.

Greg Garrison
The Dean Martin Show. The brains behind "The Dean Martin Show" was Greg Garrison. When Greg entered the studio, we all stood at attention, (almost). Making eye contact with Garrison gave you a sense that he knew you were part of the Show's success. After a week of rehearsals, the crew, the guests, took pleasure in General Garrison's lead. The number #1 Show on Thursday nites. "Thank you for your service!" Let's have a Vino for Dino!

Dad and Dean
The Dean Martin Show. A few years back we took a trip to Italy, we took a small boat from Ischia, to Naples, then on to Sorrento for a cooking class. As we reached the beautiful small harbor in Sorrento I could hear my dad and Dino singing together, "Guarda il mare com'e bello ! Spira tanto sentimento." Dino and my dad, two great Italians.

Dean and Frank's Thoughts!
Dean Martin..“I want to be remembered as a damn good entertainer, nothing spectacular. A good entertainer who made people enjoy themselves and made them laugh a little. I want them to think 'He was a nice guy. He did pretty good and we loved him.'"
Frank Sinatra .."The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything. You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit. I'm gonna live till I die. Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, or a bottle of Jack Daniels."
