Pretty Baby

The Dean Martin Show. St. Anthony's High in Long Beach, my mom surprised me w/a Dean Martin Album, "Pretty Baby." I memorized every song on the "Albium!" While auditioning for the SA Glee Club, my "Dino" came out, Director Father Hansen had me sing Italian songs for our Spring and Winter Concerts. I tried my best to croon and sound like Dino, I got pretty good at it. After college, and the Marine Corps, I got an interview at NBC Burbank. Started out as an NBC Page. "The Dean Martin Show" was my first assignment. That "quirk of fate" changed my life. As Sinatra once sang, "No, no, they can't take that away from me." More on my DeanMartinBlog.Blogspot.com.
