Has anyone heard Ricci Martin (this is Dean's youngest son..not Dean Paul RIP who perished in the plane crash) perform? Maybe Nancy may know of him through her freindship with the Martin Family.

He is coming this Friday to my area and my buddy and I are going to check out the show, it sounds like a lot of fun and the tickets were reasonable. Here is some info about it:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DEAN MARTIN TRIBUTE~~~~~

Reminisce with Ricci Martin as he pays special tribute to his father, Dean Martin. A Dean Martin Tribute "A Son Remembers" stars Ricci Martin and his orchestra under the musical direction of Billy Hinsche.

Take a walk down memory lane with Ricci as he sings many of his father's hit songs like "Memories Are Made Of This," "That's Amore," and "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime." While enjoying humor in the style of Dean, delight in "Sam's Song" and a "Sinatra Medley" featuring Ricci's old pals doing Frank and Sammy, and of course Ricci as Dean.

During some musical segments, see special photos projected from Dean's personal life, his Vegas performances, and his hit television series, "The Dean Martin Show." Don't miss this loving tribute to a man everybody loved as a member of their own family, by a member of Dean's own family.

The show Friday night was really cool. There was a comedian Steve Rossi who opened for the show, and Ricci did a nice job singing his dad's songs and showing a nice video montage.

He also came out into the crowd and took questions--it was really warm.

The band was good too--Billy Hinsche of the Beach Boys and a really good drummer named Figueroa. There was a second keyboardest and a guitar player that used to play with anita baker's group a while back.

Nice show--catch it if it comes by your city and if you would be interested in a nice tribute to Dino

Does Ricci have a website you know of, would be interested in any European plans the show may have. ?????

marty,

I would bet if you emailed him and mentioned that some people in your area would love to see him, it would heighten the chances of a Euro show. They travel with 5 people, and relatively light equipment...so maybe! We had about 250 people to see him here in Pitt.

The show you saw...was it in Pittsburg pa? Damn i missed it.

[C.R.E.]

Yes--well sort of, it was in Greensburg, PA at the Palace Theatre. It is about 30 minutes east of Pittsburgh.

Great time!
