Lost Videos: Dick Contino at Festa Italiana

[Tom]

Well this is weird. I was looking around at some files and came across these short videos I took at Festa Italiana, Milwaukee. I forgot I had them. (Although I can't find the photo of us together, or the signed cd.) I think it was 2014 and his last show at Festa. I thought you might be interested, especially in the 84 year old bellows shake.... I'm posting this for a limited time since I don't know all the people in the videos. Plus I don't know how to rotate the first one.

I haven't been back to Festa since. It's just not the same. Ok, so I talked to Mr. Contino for like, 5 minutes, he seemed very genuine.

You can tell the good ones from the posers... the real ones actually TALK to their fans!!!

Yup! I'm sure at age 84 he didn't really need to sell cds. Even though he seemed tired after the show he was very happy to interact with the fans.

I'm amazed that at 84, he could still stand up wearing a full size box. He was a compact dude, but still...
