III, Boerne, - Al was my uncle. I have spent many hours trying
to re-build my memories of the Vagabonds. Without the help of Sammy and
parsec-santa it would have been an impossible task. Kudos and deep
heartfelt thanks, Sammy. The one item that eludes me is an album called
"Filbert The Bird." Circa about 1948-49. A children's storybook record and
full color picture and text story book. Any information on this would be
highly appreciated. Thanks./Nick Thank you many times over Sammy. Sam,
Thanks for the info! My husband, Dino, is Dom's eldest child. Dino's Mom was Dom's second
wife, Chris. Rachel was the first wife, then Chris, then Mary. Hubby was named for Dean
Martin and Dino Natalie.
Tony and Dom kept in touch through the years. They cut an album together (in the 1968)
called "Friends," but there were some contract problems with Columbia, and it
never got released. It was recorded in a Jewish Synagogue in New York. Tony called Dom and
they chatted the week Dom died. Tony also showed up at Dom's funeral.
Best Wishes,
Tamela
Sam,
Thanks for your email with photos available. I have seen several of them. It's
great. I have no additional ones for you, though.
Thanks a lot - memorable times back then!
God bless,
Frankie Laine

I was the Drummer for the Vags for some time. You have done a great job with
this, a true gift of love. I am in some of the photos and some of the Photos are
miss labeled. I would be glad to help you. I also have a lot of Photos no one
else has. Let me know. Roger

In April, 1954, I spent an entire evening at the Vagabond's Club in Miami,
started with Frozen Daiquiris in the Arthur Godfrey Lounge, ending with dinner
and the show in the main room. One of the greatest nights out in memory.
Talked briefly with the accordion player, he was very cordial. They were
superb musicians and their comic antics ranked with the best. I'll never
forget them. LJF
