Your Dad's only two years older than I am. We all went through the unfortunate polyester phase back then .[/quote

No problem Guys.
Agreed with Bruno and EB on Joe D...He was a good guy and the neighborhood loved him. His son not so much...
He carried a very big stick back in the day, commanded mucho respect...For those who don't know Joe Pesci worked for him at his restaurant Amici's way back in the 1970's...Frank Vincent was also under him.

Frank Vincent was also under him.

You probably know the story. But Joe took Frank Vincent on as a favor to Pesci when someone in the Jersey crew wanted to pop him. I won't say who it was, but I'm sure you and Bruno have heard the story. He was a very arrogant son of a bitch from what I've heard.

Even after all that he almost got himself killed at Hoops up in Mount Vernon. That's way before your time, Charlie, but Bruno might remember. Anyway, he mouthed off to TJ and caught a smack in the mouth from someone in his crew. Then he started screaming Joe D's name over and over and they squashed it a few days later.

For those of you who have no idea what the Hell I'm talking about, TJ's a made guy with the Luccheses, and he already had his button when this took place. He took over the Luccheses' Mount Vernon crew when Johnny Peanuts got murdered in his own house.

I've heard the story of course lol guy at the bar was Harpo...Hoops was Joe Denti's place.
I feel like I'm talking about a world that doesn't exist anymore, very weird. I have a pic somewhere from mid 1970's I think of Joe Pesci playing guitar at Amci's and you can see old man Raguso on the picture...

I've heard the olde Frank Vincent stories...well the ones from NJ at least. Seems like no one liked him in NY either lol. But these are old before most everyone's time on this forum.

Yeah, the incident at Hoops was in the late '70s, right around the time they were casting "Raging Bull." Hoops is where they "discovered" Cathy Moriarty. Even at 18 she was blowing anyone with an olive complexion and a rope chain. For an Irish broad, she really went in for that look.

Anyway, the Jersey stuff would have pre-dated that, so you're right. Although the poster "Bronx" may remember. As an aside, Cathy didn't grow up in the Bronx. She just used that in her bio because I guess she thought it made her sound more authentic (as a first-time actress playing Vicki LaMotta). She grew up in Yonkers and went to Lincoln High School. I had some family up that way and one of my cousins used to bang her. But as I alluded to earlier, it wasn't a very exclusive club .

Frank vinci, i sure that is the correct spelling, could not make it in the street, guess he really think he got his finger pinched.. hung out on bath ave the other side of bay parkway, where tumble weed was..but would say come to the club on bath ave.. his brother was a vietnam was hero..as far as cathy i have zero insight, but i like what east bronx has to say..l.o.l.. she hung out with ronnie lorenzo on canon drive in beverly hills pizza joint.when she first went out there,,ill try and knock some rust off

Grazie fratello mio .

Ronnie shared her with Richie from Peachtree's. Remember, up in New Rochelle?

She was a bad drunk. It aged her something awful. By the time she was thirty she looked fifty, She embarrassed herself one too many times. I remember hearing that when Joe D had Charo's place out in Cali that she was all strung out one night and blew what might have been a big role for herself. The worst part was, she embarrassed Joe in the process. But when Joe had a soft spot for someone, that was that. He just couldn't get mad at certain people.

Agreed with Bruno and EB on Joe D...He was a good guy and the neighborhood loved him. His son not so much.

Yeah, but a lot of that stemmed from an incident with Greg DePalma. He spread an outright lie about Junior that would have gotten almost anyone else popped. Anyway, if you ask me, the guy in Locust Point did him a favor when he broke him.

Looks like Dente JR was released in 2009. He still active in NY?
