Man oh man, we had some big fun at last night's dinner show for the Italian American Club of Venice. First of all, it was a sold out crowd, with a waiting list, so we WILL be doing an encore performance sometime in the near future.
It was a great audience, with lots of friends in attendance INCLUDING our FAN CLUB!! We are humbled by the support and dedication of our friends Del and Pat and Star and the rest of the gang who show up wearing T-shirts with our photos on them. They brought two new members, also wearing the shirts, last night. God bless you. You have no idea how great it makes us feel.
It was really fun to have an audience with SO MANY ITALIANS who "got" all of Buddy's Italian dialect jokes and references. (There are still things he says that I don't understand, but I'm quite certain they're dirty in some way.)
So we want to say a big THANK YOU to all the folks at the Italian American Club of Venice who worked so hard to make it happen, and then pulled it off with penache. The place looked great, the volunteers all did a fantastic job, including the food servers decked out in Italian style scarves around their necks and nifty aprons. Just a great night.
Since I last wrote, we also have performed at Vista Del Lago in Winter Garden, where we were greeted with the same warm fuzzy friendliness and enthusiasm as the first time. Just a great audience.
And a big thank you to Harbor Cove where we performed for the first time to ANOTHER sell-out crowd, who treated us like real celebrities.
We are BLESSED and we know it.
And we'll keep doing this as long as we can still climb up onto a stage!
Thank you to all.
We'll keep you posted.
