INSTALLMENT #2 (and keep looking, there's more!)

Back in the 1980s, when I lived in upstate New York, I performed a lot for Gov. Mario Cuomo.
I performed my magic at everything from small cocktail parties to major arena events.
Over the years, Gov. Cuomo and I developed a friendship based on our pride in NY State and the fact that we saw each other so much.
We also had a shared background- it seems our ancestors came from the same region in Italy.
In fact, Gov. Cuomo joked that we looked alike (though he always added that he was the handsome one).

Let me tell you about the time Gov. Cuomo sang O SOLO MIO while I played the accordion...

INSTALLMENT #1 (yes, there's more!)

When I was seven years old, my parents bought this Giuletti accordion for me. I could barely hold it up!
Within a few years, I could play well enough to perform in public.
Not only did I play at the many family gatherings my Italian family had, but I also found myself playing at many interesting events!

Let me tell you about some of my unusual (and funny) adventures...

Let me tell you about the Fire Globe...

This is one of my favorite songs to play.

Sideshow Steve talks about his longtime clown character, Yo Yo the Clown.

A very appropriate song title for our current situation! :-)

My first big show at a county fair in upstate New York, and it sure was memorable!

Here is a tune to get you up and dancing!

My first paid magic show.
And did I ever have guts!

My magical career started at age seven.
And then...

And I appear... just like magic!
