Here's the real star of the family...

How hot is my mom in this picture? This was taken circa 1963-1965, when my mom was 17 or 18 years old. She was the singer in a band called "the White Brothers" (her name is Bianca, means white in italian) with her brothers Aldo and Franco on guitar. This was right about the same time she met my father, who was in "I Quattro Assi" (the four aces, not the four asses) as a singer. They were huge in Genova, my mom's band won quite a few contests and she was getting a lot of attention from dudes (not action).
How times change! After Bianca and Vito met, it wasn't long before they got married and had us kids, so both their singing careers ended. Aldo went on to play guitar on cruise ships, met and married an American (they still live here in Florida), Franco became a photographer, my dad became an engineer and my mom stayed mom!
Here's where David and Lara's musical talent comes from!
