Enjoy The Ride !

Enjoy the ride. There is no return ticket George Carlin on aging! (Absolutely Brilliant)IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. George Carlin's Views on Aging Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. 'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. 'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21.. Even the words sound like a ceremony.YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling.. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone...But! wait!! ! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and make it to 60.You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into ! your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!! HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.3.Keep learning. ! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's family name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.6... The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on.. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips.. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares?But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!! Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting '..holy sh * t ....what a ride!'

Summer Knights !

Left to Right :

Carlos Rampolla, Charlie Piacentino, Cal Ng, Patrick Deprisco, Bob Monti


Comprised of members from different groups, this exciting quintet exhibits street corner savvy with a white pseudo-soul sound. "Summer Knights" is a five harmony blend of accomplished singers whose style is reminiscent to the street corner sound we have all come to enjoy.

GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!!
HEY, WASN’T THAT US ?
A little house with three bedrooms and one car on the street. A mower that you had to push to make the grass look neat.
In the kitchen on the wall we only had one phone, And no need for recording things, someone was always home.
We only had a living room where we would congregate, Unless it was at mealtime in the kitchen where we ate.
We had no need for family rooms or extra rooms to dine, When meeting as a family those two rooms would work out fine.
We only had one TV set, and channels maybe two, But always there was one of them with something worth the view.
For snacks we had potato chips that tasted like a chip, And if you wanted flavor there was Lipton's onion dip.
Store-bought snacks were rare because my mother liked to cook, And nothing can compare to snacks in Betty Crocker's book.
Weekends were for family trips or staying home to play, We all did things together -- even go to church to pray.
When we did our weekend trips depending on the weather,
No one stayed at home because we liked to be together.
Sometimes we would separate to do things on our own, But we knew where the others were without our own cell phone.
Then there were the movies with your favorite movie star, And nothing can compare to watching movies in your car.
Of course there were the picnics at the peak of summer season, Pack a lunch and find some trees and never need a reason.
Get a baseball game together with all the friends you know, Have real action playing ball -- and no game video.
Remember when the doctor used to be the family friend, And didn't need insurance or a lawyer to defend?
The way that he took care of you or what he had to do, Because he took an oath and strived to do the best for you.
Remember going to the store and shopping casually, And when you went to pay for it you used your own money?
nothing that you had to swipe or punch in some amount, Remember when the cashier person had to really count?
The milkman used to go from door to door, And it was just a few cents more than going to the store.
There was a time when mailed letters came right to your door, Without a lot of junk mail ads sent out by every store.
The mailman knew each house by name and knew where it was sent; There were not loads of mail addressed to "present occupant."
There was a time when just one glance was all that it would take, And you would know the kind of car, the model and the make.
They didn't look like turtles trying to squeeze out every mile; They were streamlined, white walls, fins, and really had some style.
One time the music that you played whenever you would jive, Was from a vinyl, big-holed record called a forty-five.
The record player had a post to keep them all in line, And then the records would drop down and play one at a time.
Oh sure, we had our problems then, just like we do today, And always we were striving, trying for a better way.
Oh, the simple life we lived still seems like so much fun, How can you explain a game, just kick the can and run?
And why would boys put baseball cards between bicycle spokes, And for a nickel red machines had little bottled Cokes?
This life seemed so much easier and slower in some ways, I love the new technology but I sure miss those days.
So time moves on and so do we, and nothing stays the same, But I sure love to reminisce and walk down memory lane.

Another Dimension In Sight And Sound !

I recently stumbled on a site accidentally. It was like walking through a doorway in time. It is also a blog on google called White Doo Wop Collector. The thing that was so exciting about it was I clicked upon a group the "Markels" There is a great photo. Turns out one of the members is a fella named Frankie Grillo. I remembered meeting him back in the day. He was the nephew of my godmother Lucy Bongiornno. It was as if I just traveled back in time ! How Exciting ! Next I found the "Bay Bops", who I knew of and sang with. Finally the "Four Coins". You've got to go to this site There's some incredible stuff on it. Check out My comments on those three great groups. You can even find photos of "Tom & Jerry" singing Doo Wop Rock n Roll . That's "Simon & Garfunkel" for those who don't know. Any way go there, You never know who you might recognize. 

Blast From The Past ! "Apostles"

This group frequented many a street corner in the late 60's and early 70's.Singing their hearts out on Beech St., Long Beach ,N.Y.,outside one of the first Chinese take outs known as Ping Pong's...Many a summer night succumbed to their sweet vocal harmonies. On occasion they could be heard harmonizing Doo Wop melodies tucked into the entrance of the liquor store off of Ave.U & E.19 St. in Brooklyn. Great echo in there !...In 1971, they recorded "Do You Remember" for Capitain Studios in East New York.. It was never released and only two copies were ever pressed on the Demo Vox label. Only one is still known to exist, which enabled it an air play on Don K. Reeds Doo Wop Shop, on WCBS FM......from your left to right...Mike Knox..lead vocals, Tom Martino...bass/baritone, Bob Monti...First tenor/falsetto, Stevie Knox..second tenor.....Hats off gentleman !  

For A Nickle I Will !

When I was A kid my mother decided it was time for me to learn the value of a dollar. So she gave me a nickle a week allowance ! Of course I had to earn it. Along with the nickle came responsibility and chores to do around the house. I was already doing chores so I really didn't understand that. But wow ! a nickle, what could I do with that. I took my nickle and walked up E.19th St. towards Ave U. Now right outside Harvey Cleaners was a great gumball machine set up. One side with pistachio nuts and the other with large mixed colored gumballs. No, I think I'll continue up past the butcher shop on the corner.Turning the corner on the left was a toy store and hobby house with a hand crank machine outside that you could view all the old fights. Boxing would never be the same ! Decisions, decisions or I could go across the street to the Big Apple supermarket and get a giant pickle out of the barrel....or..maybe across to the corner candy store,Ruby's Soda & Fountain, where Sandy made the best egg creams in Brooklyn and get myself a nice candy bar. I couldn't take it anymore I just had to watch the fights...wow great ! Then I realized  I had to wait another week for 5 cents more. Any way my allowance was short lived on many occasions for one reason or another. Justifiable only to mom. She would get upset that I kept buying candy or watching the fights. The clincher was when I started trading the big nickle for my younger brother's little dimes. Is it my fault he wanted the bigger coin ? I walked into my bedroom huffing and puffing that she took my allowance away again. I mean what did she expect me to do with it ? ...."Your supposed to save it"...I heard from the kitchen... How does she always know what I'm thinking ?

Strange Thoughts !

It's funny as you get older how your mind drifts back to the past sometimes. I was just sitting here and my mind started to wander back to a corner candy store on Ave U and E. 18Th St. There was a gas station across the street that my dad once worked in as a mechanic. Anyway, this was your typical candy combination grocery store of the day. Very colorful ! All the old Pepsi and Coke signs.7 Up sign with the thermometer in it. All the old fashioned bowls and jars full of sweets.The kind of place you were very comfortable walking into. I remember how we would go in as kids and linger forever making up our minds to buy candy. Yet the owner never got angry or yelled at us.The old timers were great !... Just a different time and place. I would stare at the 2 ft long liquorice sticks and then buy a box of candy cigarettes and a roll  of candy dots ! Right outside the store the pavement was packed with what seemed like thousands of bottle caps. We would dig them out, take them home, melt and fill them with some colorful wax or crayon and then shoot a great game of Skelly ! .... Strange thoughts to be having in 2009. Don't you think ?

    ....JUST ROLL OUT THOSE LAZY HAZY CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER THOSE DAYS         OF HOT DOGS AND PRETZELS AND BEER!!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIENDS, I WISH THEY HAD NEVER ENDED

The subway,bus and trolley were only a thin dime to ride...Schools were the showcase for the whole country...Tuesday night was fireworks night in Coney Island, put on by Schaefer Brewing...There was little pornography...There were the bath houses: Stauches, Bushman Baths, Steeplechase Baths, Washington Baths, Ravenhall and Brighton Beach Baths....There was respect for teachers and older people in general... There was almost no violence...The theme of music, of the times, even when it became Rock n Roll, was love not anger...A great day was going to the beach at Coney Island or Brighton Beach.....People made a living and, rich or poor, they all knew how to have a good time no matter of status...There was no better hot dog than the original at Nathan's in Coney Island, and no better French fries Than Nathan's thick ripple cuts....There were no divorces and few "one parent" families....There were no drugs or drug problems in the lives of most people.....The rides and shows Of Coney Island were fantastic: Steeplechase Park: the horses,the big slide, the barrels,the zoo (maze), the human pool table,the Cyclone Roller Coaster, Tornado Roller Coaster, the Thunderbolt Roller Coaster,the Bobsled, the Virginia Reel, the Wonder Wheel, the Bumper cars, the Tunnel Of Love, Battaway,the Loop The Loop, the bubble bounce, miniature golf, the Whip, the many Merry-Go-Rounds, the penny arcades...Luna park, the Thompson Roller Coaster, the Parachute Jump, Faber's Sportsland and Fascination, toffee and cotton candy stores, custard stands, Pokerama, Skeeball, prize games, fortune teller guess games, hammer games, the Harlem Revue, freak shows, House of Wax, animal nursery,restaurants, rifle ranges, push cart rides and parades.....The fruit man, the tool sharpener, the junk man and the watermelon man all with horse and wagon !.....Sheepshead Bay was Lundy's Restaurant and fishing.....Only place for pizza and only whole pizzas was Joe's Bar and Grill on Ave U. Then in the mid 50's a pizza explosion: you could buy it by the slice for a dime at many places. By the late 50's it was a whole 15 cents a slice ! A tuna fish sandwich or BLT were 45 cents.A small Coke was 7 cents. A large Coke 12 cents. Remember vanilla Cokes when they pumped real vanilla syrup into the glass before adding the Coca Cola ?...... There were many theaters where every Saturday afternoon you could see 25 cartoons and two main feature films. The Highway,The Avalon, Kingsway, Mayfair, Claridge, Tuxedo, Oceana, The Oriental, Avenue U, The Kent, The Paramount, RKO Tilyou,The Mermaid, Surf, Walker, Albermarle, Alpine, Rugby, Ambassador, Peoples Cinema, The Canarsie, Marlboro, Avon and the Globe......Everybody knew all the high schools in Brooklyn......Big eating and coffee hangouts: Dubrow's on Kings Hwy, also on Eastern Pkwy/Utica Ave, Famous on 86th St. and Garfield's on Flatbush Ave.....Ebinger's was the great bakery..loved the chocolate butter cream with the almonds on the side. Boston Cream Pie and the Blackout cakes ! Bierman' was terrific also....Kings Highway stores had their own ornate glitz as far as style goes.......There were many delicatessens in the 50's ..very few today..the best ?..Adelmans on 13th ave. and Hymie's on Sutter Ave. The food was from heaven !.......Big night clubs in Brooklyn were Ben Maksiks' "Town and Country" on Flatbush Ave. and "The Elegante" on Ocean Pkwy.....There were no fast food restaurants in the 50's and a hamburger tasted like a hamburger........There was Murray the K, Rock and Roll concerts at the Brooklyn Fox and Brooklyn Paramount. You had to go the night before to get good seats.....Quick bites at Brennan and Carr, Horn and Hardart automat,Nedick's, Big Daddy's, Chock Full o' Nuts, Juniors, Grabsteins or Joe's Deli. Junior's ,you'll be glad to know, is still in the same place, and the cheesecake is still fabulous...Knishes were great at Mrs. Stahl"s in Brighton or at Shatzkin's knishes. Mrs.Stahl's is now a Subway.. Remember the knish guy on the beach with the shopping bags ?.....People in Brooklyn took pride in owning a Chevy in the 50's. There was nothing better than General Motors then. The cars would run and run and run, no problems.....You bought sour pickles right out of the barrel ..for a nickel.. and they were delicious. By the 60's they cost a whole quarter.....The Brooklyn Dodgers were part of your family. The Duke,the Scooge, Pee Wee, Jackie, the Preacher, Campy, Junior, Clem,Big Don, Gil. They were always in alot of our conversations. Remember Ebbet's Field and Happy Felton's Knothole Club? For a nickel, you got into Ebbet's Field and saw the Dodgers play. For Brooklynites it was..and will always be..a shrine... You come from Brooklyn but you don't think you have an accent. To you Long Island is one word which sounds like "Longuyland".....You played alot of games as kids. Depending on whether you were a boy or a girl, you could play: Ringaleaveo, Johnny On The Pony, Hide and Seek, Three Feet Off To Germany, Red Light Green Light, Chase The White Horse, Kick The Can, Buck,Buck How Many Horns Are Up?,War, Hit The Penny, Pussy In The Corner, jump rope, Double Dutch, Stories, A-My Name Is, Box Ball, Stick Ball,Poison Ball, Relay Races, soft ball, base ball,basket ball, Horse, 5-3-1, Around The World,Foul Shooting, Knockout, arm wrestling, indian wrestling. And then card games like Canasta, Casino,Hearts, Pinochle,War and the unhappy game of 52 card pickup...... You hung out on people's stoops or in the courtyard... You learned to dance at some girl's backyard or house... Kids were safe playing around the neighborhood..Summer nights in good ol' Brooklyn..were something I wish my children could know. Life was simpler, happier..Oh, the fun we had... I'm so glad I was a part of that world....You roller skated at Park Circle or Empire Blvd. Skating rinks in skates with wooden wheels. You had roller skates at home with metal wheels for using on the sidewalks and you needed a skate key to tighten them around your shoes.Those metal wheels on concrete were deafening !...The big sneaker was Converse. Also, Keds and PF Flyers...the guys wore Chino pants with a little buckle on the back, peg pants, And the girls wore long wide dresses. Remember gray wool skirts with pink felt poodles on them ? The poodles had rhinestone eyes...In the 50's Rock n Roll started big teen styles for the first time......Everyone went to a Bar Mitzvah even if you weren't Jewish. ..There were three main nationalities in Brooklyn in the 50's: Italians, Irish and Jewish. Then there was a sprinkling of everyone else. The Scandinavians and Greeks in Bay Ridge, the African Americans in Bedford Stuyvesant and the Polish in Greenpoint...And immigrants were happy and eager to learn their new language..English........The only way to get to Staten Island was by ferry from the 69th St. pier in Brooklyn It was a great ride in the summer for a dime.... In Brooklyn, a fire hydrant is a "Johnny Pump"...... Rides on a truck came to your neighborhood to give little kids a ride for a dime. The best one was the "whip", which spun you around a track. You got a little prize when you got off, sometimes a folding paper fan or straw tube that you inserted two fingers into, that tightened as you tryed to pull your fingers out again...As a kid you hit people with water balloons from atop a building. You Shot linoleum projectiles from a carpet gun, you shot dried peas from a pea shooter and you shot paperclips at people with a rubber band.......You shopped at E J Korvettes, Robert Hall, Woolworth's, Mays, McCrory's, Packers, A&P, Bohack, A&S, Barney's was Barney's Boys town back then and not a luxury store.You bought your shoes at National and Miles, AS Beck. When you got Married you bought your dishes at Fortunoffs under the "El".....NBC's main production studio was on Ave M and E. 16th St. The Cosby Show was made there.....Everybody lived near a candy store and a grocery store....The first mall came  to Brooklyn at Kings Plaza....Bagel stores  start popping up everywhere in the 60's......you'd go to Jahn's Ice Cream Parlor with a big group and have the "Kitchen Sink". If it was your birthday you could get a free sundae(you had to bring your birth certificate)......Everybody knew somebody who was a connected guy.....We used the word "swell"; That's passe today......In the summer we all waited for the Good Humor, Bungalow Bar, Mister Softee or Freezer Fresh man to come into our neighborhood to buy ice cream. In the early 50's, the Good Humor man pushed a cart instead of driving a truck. Remember the bells ?  A pop was 15 cents, large cup was15 cents, small cup a dime, and a sundae...remember licking the chocolate off the back of the cardboard top ?...was a quarter.( Movie stars pictures on bottom of Dixie cup lids)....As a kid growing up in the 1950's we would spend our money on bubble gum baseball cards, candy and ice cream. A pack of baseball cards complete with a stick of bubble gum and full size candy bars were 5 cents each or six for a quarter. ....In those days there were lots of interesting coins still in circulation. Dimes and quarters were still made of silver. The oldest Roosevelt dimes were not yet 15 years old. It was not uncommon to find Mercury dimes or worn out Standing Liberty quarters; and Buffalo or Indian Head nickles were common too. Most pennies were wheat backs. They didn't get the familiar Lincoln Memorial on the reverse until 1959. With luck it was even possible to find an occasional Indian Head penny in your change. But, the most coveted, for us kids, was the unusual 1943 steel penny..... Many of us would sneak cigarettes and hide them when we got home.....When we talked about "the city" everyone knew we meant Manhattan.....In the 60's the Mets became our substitute for the Dodgers..But, they never did  and never will make up for the Dodgers leaving....In the 60's we were ready to drive and hit the night life scene. With the car came the girls..........We are all part of a select club because we all have roots in ....Brooklyn !.....Those were the days !

I often think back and thank the stars above that I grew up a "child of the 50's". An era of prosperity and productivity. A time that gave birth to television, Rock n Roll and rocketship automobiles. There I was, being brought up in black and white. The time of Leave It To Beaver, Ozzie & Harriet and Father Knows Best. A simpler time and place where people still had ideals, morals and character. At Least so it seemed...
