She'd go nose to nose with me if she had to. Or if someone, God forbid, would say something negative about my father. She would take you to task. She would tighten your ass up really quick, my mother. So we couldn't get those. If I was a kid and I was inquisitive and I would want to ask that question to my mother, she would say, your father provides very well for us. That would be the response.

So you'd have to go out into the streets to learn about what's going on, what time it really is. Did she grow up in the same streets? Like, did they meet? No, no. Well, it's a great story. My mother's from Long Island City. My father was a Brooklyn guy, okay? Originally from the Bronx, evolved from the Bronx, but raised in Brownsville, East New York, Brooklyn area, okay?

Home of Murder Incorporated. Albert Anastasia was his idol growing up. And they had met one day. My mother was 17 years old, and she was applying for a barmaid job. She was in Brooklyn, hitting the circuit, trying to get a barmaid job, and she was being harassed by a guy who followed her out of one of the interviews.

So she looked into a bar and she seen a group of gentlemen sitting at the end of the bar, opened the door and walked in. And she says, excuse me. She said, do you mind I sit here? This guy's bothering me. Some guy's bothering me. My father's sitting, he's a 19-year-old young punk, if you want to say it, okay, with a three-quarter leather jacket. He's sitting there, the hair's just looked back.

He says, who's bothering you? And she says, well, no, this guy, he's just following me and I just feel very uncomfortable. He says, sit right over here. Guy opens the bar door and looks in, sees my mother sitting with my father at the bar and just turns and my father shoots him a look and he just runs out. And they began to talk at that point. She was 17, he was 19.

It's friends. You go into the Copacabana, and that's where my father would take my mother, as his girlfriend, as his bride, as his wife. Constant companion was Angelo Ruggiero, who was my father's boyhood friend since they were 10 years old. My Aunt Marie, my Uncle Angelo's wife, became very close to my mother. You'd see the characters there.

You knew exactly what you were dealing with when you walked into Copacabana. You knew you weren't at the Friars Club. So she kind of got an idea. Very intelligent woman, my mother, very perceptive. She understood what time it was.
