  • Alison Martino, Daughter of Al Martino

    Alison Martino, Daughter of Al Martino
    Aug 11 2025
    https://youtu.be/TmN4q9hiuMc After almost a year of phone tag and scheduling conflicts I was finally able to get Alison on the podcast. Well before making contact, I had been following a Facebook page “Vintage Los Angeles”. I was / am fascinated by the photos she and followers post. Once I figured out who Alison was and that it was her Facebook page I knew I really needed to have her on the podcast. Alison’s father, Al Martino was a famous traditional pop and standards singer and actor. Al was part of the last Hollywood crooners and played Johnny Fontane in the film The Godfather. Having lived in Los Angeles in the early 80s and then again from 1986 to 2005 I was more interested in Alison’s love for preserving the history of Los Angeles and sharing her hometown with the world then chatting about her father. We do chat about Al and what her life was like growing up with him. Although Alison and I never met while I lived in LA our paths of cool, unique and old Hollywood crossed on many levels. I had so much fun talking about and reminiscing about places no longer there or that are on the verge of disappearing from the landscape. She has a fantastic love for vintage style, architecture and history. Our conversation reminded me of Episode #5 with Ryan Cassidy, another lover of vintage style and a deep old Hollywood connection. If you are fascinated by vintage photos and the history of Los Angeles then you will enjoy hearing the passion and energy Alison puts into keeping LA special. https://www.facebook.com/VintageLosAngeles https://martinostimemachine.blogspot.com https://www.facebook.com/alisonmartino1970 https://www.instagram.com/alisonmartino https://www.vlamerch.com

  • Jack Baldini, Great-Great Nephew of Enrico Caruso

    Jack Baldini, Great-Great Nephew of Enrico Caruso
    Aug 4 2025
    https://youtu.be/3GG9AY2v85g The question was asked when I was attending Podfest 2025, “What if you aren’t overshadowed by your famous relative?”. That brought up a great point. Now several of my guests have been in their own sunlight and Jack Baldini is certainly one of them. His Great-Great Uncle Enrico Caruso had passed away before Jack was born. Yet, Jack has this amazing connection to Enrico. Enrico Caruso is considered one of, if not, the greatest Opera singers of all time. He revolutionized the recording industry as one of the first to recognize the importance and financial opportunities of the vinyl record. Growing up Jack learned of his great-great uncle from family and became curious to learn more. He learned Caruso was known for his drawings as well as his operatic voice and now looks for original signed Caruso drawings. Jack talks about collecting his Great-Great Uncle’s art, records and memorabilia even though he himself is not a big Oprea fan. He is a patents, trademark, copyright lawyer in Florida and this after running a successful restaurant for over 20 years. Let’s talk Opera, food, podcasting and law with Jack Baldini.

  • Episode 47 – Lena Prima (Louis Prima – Daughter)

    Episode 47 – Lena Prima (Louis Prima – Daughter)
    Jul 21 2025
    To many a generations Lena’s father is best known for the best song and scenes in the 1967 animated movie The Jungle Book. Yep, Lena Prima is the daughter of the amazing showman Louis Prima aka “King Louis”. I shared my story of David Lee Roth doing her father’s famous song “Just a Gigolo” and my mother setting me straight that DLR was not the original singer. Lena is a wonderful performer, recording artist and proud of her father’s legacy while carving her own fan base in the world of music. She did the Rock & Roll / Heavy Metal west coast scene for years, there’s some great photos in the notes, and toured full time with cover bands before finding a musical home in her father’s kingdom of New Orleans. So on your next trip to The Big Easy be sure to stop in and see Lena at The Hotel Montleone in the French Quarter. https://youtu.be/gSUXP-5-CuE https://www.lenaprima.com https://www.facebook.com/lenaprimaofficial https://www.instagram.com/lenaprima
