8. I was born in 1929 in Mount Vernon, NY. After graduating from Syracuse U, I began working radio then became host of a popular TV show when the original host got busted for DUI. The show went national in 1957 and provided much-needed exposure for dozens of rock groups. Later, I somehow managed to be a game show host at the same time. Even later, I hosted a popular holiday rock n roll show.

Doris Day, The Four Lads, Frank Sinatra (Dad), Dean Martin (Mom), but also some early rock 'n roll. When the 60's came along my Dad became a huge fan of The 4 Seasons, Lesley Gore and The Supremes. Mom stayed a little closer to the earlier stuff but surprised me often enough by expressing appreciation for one of my records.

TLAF and her sisters were quite the dancers and they loved to jitterbug. SO, TLAF listened to a lot of early rock and roll. She had it on the radio in her store. Also Sinatra. Lots of Sinatra and Dean Martin.

Marietta, my Italian grandmother, had 78s of Jan Peerce singing Bluebird of Happiness and Dinah Shore singing Buttons and Bows
