They talk about the relationship that Tony developed with rival Carmen Basilio, a lifelong friendship between the two families was a joy to hear about.   We watch a clip of the Saxon-DeMarco fight from April 1955, amazing to see!!

Hi Gang! Tom and Michael are spending their last week away from each other, and we have another excellent show for you, we have Michael Castaldo, a musician, the man does some amazing things, we will be discussing Hotel California – Reimagined. Michael will discuss this project with passion, this was originally recorded from 45 years ago by the Eagles.
