Sons Of Italy Olde Time Italian Festival With The Elegants In Wildwood, NJ On September 26, 2025

On Friday night, September 26, 2025, Sons Of Italy held their annual Olde Time Italian Festival in Wildwood, NJ.  The headline act was The Elegants featuring original members Vito Picone and James Moschella.  The Italian-American Doo Wop group had a number one single titled "Little Star" in 1958 ... 67 years ago. Vito co-wrote the song too. Some of you will recall when I embarked on my Operation: Last Chance Tour to see Doo Wop and other Oldies acts in 2013 and 2014.  I saw The Elegants in 2014 at this very event and location.  Great to see them continuing on.  They performed a full set of songs with their big hit as the final number.  There were two milestones that evening: 1.) at 84 and a half years of age, Vito is the oldest musician whom I have met and 2.) my concert streak continues with this being my 39th year of seeing gigs without missing a year beginning in 1987.
