| Publisher Description: Jimmi Accardi gives us a humorous tale of growing up in Brooklyn in an Italian-American family in the 1950s-1960s. Here we find a light-hearted look at Bushwick history, tough streets, childhood games and pranks, music, food, family, the rigors of Catholic school, the beginnings of romance. Jimmi learned doowop harmonies by singing on the corner, and later embarked on a music career and became a member of Brooklyn band The Laughing Dogs. From the first "Hail Mary" to the last "Ya Mudda", this book is honest, real, and above all, entertaining. |
