ENTERTAINMENT ON ITALIAN HERITAGE DAY

Coming from an Italian/American family in East Irondequoit, New York, he always had musical curiosity and a desire to sing and play an instrument. While no one in his family displayed musical talents, he arrived with an overabundance! Can you imagine the tolerance of his parents, putting up with endless hours of trumpet performance in the bedroom right next to theirs? Despite that, his parents were always encouraging and supportive of my musical explorations and for that I'm eternally grateful.
