By: Bumpy Road Productions It’s a book you can pick up and read a short story, then put it down to pick up and enjoy later. A great gift for someone who could use a smile or two! The 28 stories are short, with lots of humanity... i.e. Tony remembers a teenage girl sitting on his bike's handlebars, with her hair blowing into his face... "but sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can still smell the shampoo in her hair." and there are a number of very touching dog stories... "he looked at me... right into my soul" Tony has been a New York hippie, a musician, a deli owner, a Mets lover, and a lover of women. He loves animals, too, especially dogs. Then he hit a real bump. He lost a leg, just like his grandfather had. And just like Brie, the lovable canine who is now one of his best California friends. In addition to being a good writer, Tony is a highly entertaining storyteller. People who hear his stories come away with a truly richer sense of their own lives. -Tony Albano was born in Brooklyn – New York, if you didn’t know – and grew up in the Projects before his family moved to Long Island. From his earliest years, he’s known he has entertaining in his blood, though the bumpy road that has been his life has produced some diversions. He started writing songs as a teenager, but at age 23, he wound up owning a delicatessen. Few years later, he sold the deli, and with wife, Patricia, drove across country in their ‘64 Dodge, visiting friends and family along the way to their final destination...the Monterey Peninsula. Monterey-Carmel has been their home for the past 30 years, and Tony’s meandering path has included hosting his own radio talk show and becoming a professional storyteller. A natural multi-tasker, he’s also been a visible and valued fixture in the Peninsula hospitality scene. He takes great pleasure in presenting his “true life stories” to the people he meets as a waiter-host- End
