Warde Alumnus Hosts "Due Artisti" This Evening on Centanni Broadcasting Network

Andrew Warde High School 1976 alumnus and 2006 reunion chairman Tony Procaccini returns to the airwaves today to host "Due Artisti," an Internet radio show emanating from New York City. Today's broadcast starts at 5:00 PM EST, and ends one hour later.

This show features Italian music and Italian-American and Italian singers. Tony, pictured below right, intends to add some unique items from his CD collection, including "Rat Pack" snippets (Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) and music from Fausto Chiappinelli, a tenor from Bovino, Italy, the hometown of Tony's parents' families.

The broadcast can be heard live (and later archived) on http://www.centannibroadcasting.com/.

Procaccini, a professional musician who plays four instruments, was Benny's Rae's long-time accompanist and is presently Music Director of Saint Patrick's Church in Bridgeport, CT. He guest-hosted "Lounging with Lombardi" on March 30 of this year, interviewing author Lou Miano (pictured above left) about the life and career of Louis Prima.

Shortly thereafter, on April 27, Tony was the guest of the show's host, John Lombardi, in the first of a three-part series on Frank Sinatra. The second segment of that series is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25, also at 5:00 PM EST.
