Wow.

Just back from Ellie Calkins Opera House where we gave a standing ovation for an amazing performance. Chazz Palminteri in the one-man play he wrote, Tony award winning off Broadway in 1989, became Robert DeNiro directed movie in 1993.

A Bronx Tale is the story of growing up on a stoop by the corner of 187th & Belmont 60's where Dion and the Belmonts were born, a neighborhood where "young Italian men could be heard romancing their women, 'Get in the f**king car!'"

"The saddest thing in life is wasted talent." Tonight we were all glad Palminteri didn't waste any of his extraordinary talent as a writer or actor.

Another sad thing would be to miss this performance. Get your tickets now, it's sure to sell out soon.
