Most Recorded Song In History (Comic Relief #3481)
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 |
| GARY LARSON |
Contrary to what this web site
tells you, I can prove
is the most recorded song
in history
Just consider every rock band
ever created:
In the garage
where they began,
they ALL recorded
They probably did so
on a cheap cassette recorder
Of course, very few
of those recordings
were released
But they were recorded
Add to this, every high school
or college band
who performed
this song
If you do not think
this total exceeds
the 67,591"record-setting"
recordings mentioned on
I am available
for math tutoring

Abstractionism: A 3rd Sacred Image From His Most Un-Sacredness
________________________________________________________________________________________________
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Christmas Nineteen
Eighty-Something
featuring a great actor
leading the priest's choir
 |
| That priest appears to be singing with the other priests but, in truth, he is suppressing a yawn. The night before Christmas Eve, FATHER FRANK who preferred that monicker to "Monsignor Oliverio" was refereeing Midnight Basketball in Harlem until 4AM Upon returning "home" to St. Patrick's, he was handed a telephone and a short list of "reluctant" names. By noon, five more New York priests committed to singing at Midnight Mass. The choir's formal rehearsal began at 3PM and lasted four hours. My Uncle cat-napped for one hour then met three very well-dressed Harlem gangbangers for dinner in Rockefeller Center. Earl, Pearl, and "Monroe" were—respectively— the team captains and the highest scorer from the Midnight Basketball game. They refused to let my Uncle pay for the meal. Monsignor Oliverio was influential enough at St. Patrick's to secure two pews for a dozen gangbangers (and their girlfriends) Their behavior at the Midnight Mass was impeccable and each one deposited $50 in the collection plate |

Father Frank was the only
Oliverio of his generation
to spend his formative years
in Harlem
Only three of the twenty-four
"Harlem attendees"
at this Midnight Mass
were practicing Catholics
The most profound thing
my Uncle told me
about this Mass
was that he would rather
have been sitting with
the gangbangers
What should be obvious
to anyone familiar
with Paul Blogiverio
is that Father Frank inspired

Two 1956 Photographs Explain Why I Am A Baseballaholic
________________________________________________________________________________________________
With bottle in hand, the man in the middle of the 1956 World Series
celebration is my Uncle Tony
With my Uncle Paul,
he co-owned The Shuffle Inn, located on Long Island
The co-owner [my namesake]
was either the photographer
or he was safeguarding
the cash register
of their saloon
ALL Oliverios were
baseball fanatics.
If not, they were
either castigated
or they were girls
I am eternally indebted
to my Aunt Linda for these images.
Uncle Tony's widow is the only living member
of my parents' siblings or spouses
