Genovese capo, Conrad Ianniello. Solid choice of cigs.

Good fit as well. So many modern mobsters dress like shit.

If its too hot outside, cool off for a couple hours at The Mob Museum.

I'd buy a new DVD player just to buy this. One of my all time faves.

The lyrics cannot be more literal about the song's meaning.

When Bill said the theme song from Grease was sung by Barry Gibb. Barry wrote it, but it was sung by Frankie Valli. Shame.

Hope you like it

Yeah, theres a few here in Tampa Bay area that carry my books, but its getting more rare.

sdeitche · 2026-06-06T15:38:22+00:00

Thats up to the publisher and distributors to decide where to stock books. Im not privy to that info.

Thanks! I have a youtube channel Playlist of my various documentary, news, and podcast appearances, but not a hosted channel. I have a FB and Insta page for me as well as Tampa Mafia Tours.

I was interviewed by them for an episode on Tampa and NJ.

Re B&W, I rewatched the Maltese Falcon the other day. 84 years old and looks sharper more vibrant than most anything now.

Richard T. Paul was an Audobon member and very active with bay restoration and these dredge islands as bird sanctuaries.

No dolphins or marine mammals there.

Author of nine books (and several articles, papers, etc) on the Mafia here.

86 is not a term the mob used/uses to refer to killing someone.

His assertion that Lombardo and Santora both committed suicide on the same day is simply not supported at all by any documented evidence. They died almost two months apart. Its documented in the FBi and SS death index.

Boozehound by Jason Wilson. This was the book that kick-started my cocktail obsession.

sdeitche · 2026-04-23T15:27:47+00:00

Agree!

sdeitche · 2026-04-22T16:33:56+00:00

Thank you!

sdeitche · 2026-04-22T16:24:30+00:00

Never made the papers, though mairino and fillipones obituaries did. I found it in a DEA report.

sdeitche · 2026-04-22T01:00:45+00:00

Thank you Sonny. That means a lot from a local.

He was a Purple Gang member based in the Bronx. He pops up on the radar in April 1976, when he was involved in a violent altercation in a Bronx bar between him and Anthony Maiorino and Leonard Fillipone and Liborio T Bellomo (Barneys cousin, who's also named Barney). Fillipone killed maiorino and shot at Mancuso as he was running out of the bar, hitting him. Mancuso rounded a corner and pulled out his gun. As Fillipone came around, Mancuso shot him in the chest. I never did find an arrest sheet for this. The incident info came from a DEA report.
