Some Memories

If you've seen our show, you may have heard  Buddy's story about shopping with his Nana when he was nine years old in the old neighborhood.  They would end up at Catalano's Market where he would finally get his 'sangwich'.  Well, looking through an old photo album, we actually found a photo of Buddy's dad parked in front of Catalano's Market.  Unbelievable. 



And here's little Buddy ("Buster") with his Nana, & Nanu, and little sister Angel..


Next time, we'll do ME!

Great Reunion. Great Show.

Last weekend was a terrific combination of high school reunion and showtime.
Saturday we performed our show to a near capacity crowd at Heritage Springs in Trinity, FL (near New Port Richey). Buddy's former classmates, the  Darby's,  live in that community  and we want to thank them for their tireless efforts to help us schedule a date there,  promote it, and then offer us their home to relax before the show.

Other former classmates joined the Darby's for the dinner show later, and we all had a lot of laughs before the performance even started!  Everything went great.  And that was just the beginning.

The next day on Sunday, the same bunch, plus several other classmates from the Reading Memorial High School Class of ........shall I give it away?   CLASS OF '61...   all got together at the home of one of their own on Siesta Key for a great afternoon of food, reminiscing, old photos, more food, and more laughs.  Just a great great time.  So good to see you all!  (And thanks for making me an honorary alumni.)

A Great Week ..3 Shows

Last week we performed two shows at Visani Dinner Theater in Port Charlotte and one at Country Village in Bradenton.  They were all a blast.  It's getting boring talking about what great people we meet at every show, but it's the truth.  That's what really makes our work such a joy.  So once again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We dedicated the Country Village show to Ginny Erickson, who arranged for us to perform there after bringing a group to one of our matinees in Port Charlotte.   We lost Ginny a few weeks ago, before she could see her efforts come to pass.  She was a dear dear soul, and we know she would have loved seeing everyone have such a good time.  Thank you Ginny.
