Do I have the slightest evidence for that assertion? I do not. But I was brought up watching Raymond Burr as Perry Mason?
Hamilton Burger: Why, Perry, you know as district attorney I can?t buy a pig in a poke like that. Perry Mason: All right, I?ll present it hypothetically instead.?Perry Mason: The Case of the Capering Camera
Contrary to what you might understandably think, Two Gun Tony and His Buckaroos isn?t a band renowned for playing The Stonewall Inn. The reference, rather, is to heavyweight of yore, ?Two Ton? Tony Galento, and a merry band of amateur entertainers who performed at Philadelphia Town Hall on April 27, 1940.
You?d think Tony would have been otherwise occupied, what with his upcoming bout with Max Baer at Jersey City?s Roosevelt Stadium on July 2. But no, which might help explain why Baer retired him in the seventh.
Among the cast?why, Louis DiBella, the boxing promoter?s father. Do I have the slightest evidence for that assertion? I do not. But I was brought up watching Raymond Burr as Perry Mason. He never had any evidence. But did that stop him from getting his clients off by pressuring the real murderers until they broke down, confessing their dastardly deeds in public, on the stand, even though doing so meant the gas chamber? It did not. Who am I to argue with success?
I contend that if not for the DiBella p?re connection with the Sweet Science, in the spherical form of Tony Galento, DiBella fils would not have become a promoter, and would therefore not have patted my tummy at a press conference promoting the June 29, 2013, bout between Gennady Golovkin and his client, Matthew Macklin.
Sort of like that poem about a kingdom being lost, and all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
