Put Frankie
Randall, Pete Barbutti, Deana Martin with Vincent Falcone
conducting the Bill Porter orchestra together, and what do
you get? You get "That's Italian!" - A Big
Band musical extravaganza. The show features famous
Sinatra-era entertainers: vocalist/pianist Frankie
Randall, well-known for his friendship with, and tributes
to Frank Sinatra; TV Talk Show favorite, comedian Pete
Barbutti and special guest star Deana Martin, Dean’s
daughter who shares the memories of her dad and his famous
“palies”. They are all supported by
legendary pianist/conductor Vincent Falcone and Bill
Porter’s orchestra. Vinnie traveled with Frank
Sinatra for many years as his conductor and continues as
musical director for the biggest names in show business,
such as Tony Bennett, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme’,
etc. "That's Italian" brings back the
classic “Sinatra” era touch, full of singing, humor
and camaraderie, leaving audiences thoroughly entertained.

I've had a ball appearing
several times in the Superstar Theater at Resorts
International and The Hilton in Atlantic City, New Jersey, performing my own
show comprised of The Great American Songbook with Vincent Falcone conducting
the orchestra, and have been very pleased and appreciative of the newspaper coverage for
those events. Please
click on the Press Room link, to the left of the screen and see what Phil Roura,
journalist for the New York Daily News, and David Spatz, writer for the New
Jersey Record & Atlantic City Weekly had to say. Thanks guys for the
great press.
A few years ago, I created a show entitled "That's Italian"
starring Julius La Rosa, Dick Contino, Pete Barbutti and me. Our very
first appearance was to a SOLD OUT audience at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, CA., where the
response was simply overwhelming. Bookings have continued to roll in
including a repeat SOLD OUT performance at the McCallum last season and a
return performance at the Cerritos Center For The Performing Arts in November of
this
year.
"That's Italian" has also appeared at Trump Marina in Atlantic City, New
Jersey where the casino built a Columbus Day event around the show where it
enjoyed a dynamic success. We have also appeared in Chicago at the North Shore Center For
The Performing Arts; Turning
Stone Hotel and Casino in Syracuse, NY; Parker Playhouse in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida; Thousand Oaks Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks, CA; The Venue At Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana, where I
added the talents of Deana Martin (Dean's Daughter) and Jerry Vale. To celebrate New Year's 2009,
we appeared at the Eastside Cannery Casino Hotel to a standing room audience
again with Jerry Vale as our Special Guest Star.
I am looking forward to my upcoming appearances in 2010 so
please check out my Appearance

Wow, what a life!!! And just think...I get paid for this.
