Here's a fund raiser being put on by the Wellsville Revitalization Committee that I wanted to mention in case you missed it in the papers. It not only should be very entertaining, is cheap at twice the price, it's for a good cause. It's sponsored by Center Pharmacy & the Pete Amato Foundation. Proceeds will go to the maintenance & upkeep of the flood wall murals and the boardwalk.
Tomorrow, Saturday, from 7 - 10 P.M. Sinatra impersonator Dave Salera from the Pittsburgh area will be performing at the SOI. Salera has studied ol' blue eyes for many years and Connie Carmichael was quoted as saying she "was floored by how much he sounds and looks like Frank Sinatra". Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. There will be hors d'oeuvres and maybe door prizes and a raffle. According to the newspapers Salera has performed all over the country impersonating Sinatra. Carmichael is correct. He even looks like Frank in the picture they had in the MJ.
Sinatra was a singer that came from Hoboken, NJ, and was a teen idol in his early years. He made some beautiful music and became a super star in the entertainment industry the rest of his life. He was immensely popular and performed all over the world. I saw him live and in concert at the Civic Arena once. That was more years ago than I want to admit to. My all time favorite recording of his was his rendition of Johnny Mercer's Summer Wind. Sinatra died in 1998 but his music will live on for many years to come.
So, young or old, if you can make it to the SOI tomorrow evening I guarantee you won't be disappointed. It's also for a good cause. The picture is from Google Images.

We had a wonderful turn-out and a great evening. Thanks to everyone who came out to support the flood wall mural project and special thanks to Center pharmacy, The Pete Amato Foundation and Dave Salera.
I couldn't make it Saturday but I was wondering if anyone has any future plans to book Salera again? I would love to see his show but I need a lot of advanced notice. Glad you had a good turn out. That sounded like a winner from the get go.

At this point there are no plans to have Dave perform in Wellsville again. If there ever is a time that we decide to do this again, I will make sure that you have plenty of advance notice. Sorry you missed him.
I doubt anyone in Wellsville is going to book him. Where would they have him? This was probably once in a lifetime. You can catch him in Little Italy in Cleveland. I forget the name of the resturant.
Doubt if I make it to Cleveland to see a show but I've been to Little Italy. It's a unique neighborhood with lots a good places to taste Italian cooking.
Thanks for getting back. Congratulation on holding a successful event. Getting a show like that to the ville was a unique idea.

Could somebody tell me how to get to Little Italy in Cleveland. Always wanted to go but need directions.
I have been there, but cant tell you how to get there. Google it and see if you can find it. Or call the Cleveland Mayors office.
