Tony Tamburello is my grandfather, wonderful person, he was very talented, we still have one of his pianos that he would sit me down in and play a tune and have me make up a song. Thank you for having this in your blog. If you want to know more about Tony Tamburello or his wife Geri Tamburello also known as Sequin let me know, she was a singer and dancer for a long time. Thank you again.
Hello Jesse. Thanks for sharing these stories about your grandfather. I have always admired the work he did for Tony and it’s lovely to hear what a very nice man he was. Thank you, Suzanne
