Mama, Aunt Esther, Uncle Ted, and my brother Clayton's father, Clayton.
Clayton's father passed away when
Clayton was 12. My mother re-married 2 years later to my father.
On the drums is Tony's father also named Tony Rongo.
This is MEL TORME'S Big Band.
Tony's dad played with several big bands in that era.
The thing we remember most is-- He was the drummer in
THE
GODFATHER The 1st in the series of those
movies.
If you watch the movie-- check out the wedding scene.
His father is the drummer peeking around the tree-
to make sure his face is seen when the movie is done.
We get a great laugh out of that every time we watch
The Godfather.
