John Venditto

August 11, 2008

Hey, Eddie! I'm at work killing time before a meeting and I googled my name. About 16 pages of some guy in New York who's a big politician, a writer and some important doctor share my name. I'm easily the least important John Venditto. Then, I see my name in your story about Horse Opra. So I see it's you, and it sounds like you're doing great. Looks like you fit in well down there, it's great that you're immersed in your greatest love. As for me, I married Cathy (don't know if you met her...), bought a home in Somerville and have 2 boys, one 18 and the other 9. I'm doing fine, Greg lives a few miles away in Bridgewater, he's doing fine also, 3 kids. I have my bass on it's stand, in my bedroom, dust covered. We don't play anymore (duh). Have you ever heard from Artie? He could be dead. Happy for you, peace, bro.

Eddie,

Howyadoin! In the kitchen, daddy flicks his Camel's. No more flicking cigarettes, I'm really happy you got the balls to finally quits smoking. But I have to say, nobody looked as cool as you with a cigarette hanging from your bottom lip except maybe Bogey. Keep up the good work, what are you going to do with all the money you save now that you're not buying cigarettes? now that you quit smoking, I know Jennie the drummer will be celebrating. keep up the good work.

Eddie,



Hey stranger; hope you're doing well. Maureen told me the other day that you had posted a bunch of Bada Bing videos on You Tube, so I checked them out and, WOW, what a bunch of great memories. I hadn't listened to the CD's in a long time but I've pulled them out and am sitting here listening, dancing and having a ball remembering this INCREDIBLE music. I just had to tell you Eddie how awesome you all were and how much I MISS being able to see you guys live! Your music is just superb, and that's NO BULL. I only wish that you and the group would have received the record deal and success you certainly deserved. Ah - the strange world of the music business these days; where is the creativity?????



Did Maureen tell you we saw "Jersey Boys" when it was here in town in June? GREAT show and story; I think you would have loved it. Well, I still say you could write a Broadway show, as so many of your tunes are great character pieces.



Well, thanks for these wonderful Bada Bing tunes, every time I hear them I can't help but SMILE. They're just FUN, FUN, FUN!



Take Care and God Bless.

Cindy

Nina...(the french! :) )and a friend too!

Eddie, the vids are awesome and I'm so glad that you managed to get them on YouTube. All you visitors to this site, follow the link in news section of this site and check out the video nuggets of the band. Really cool to see the live performances of some of what you hear here. Amazing..thanks for sharing, Eddie. fn

Tom & Candy

I just watched the videos, Ed. Great stuff! One of them was dated 5/31/97. Were they all done that long ago?
It was especially cool to see Jenny and Drew playing.

Bob & Becky Brown

July 1, 2008

What happened to the Bada Bing Bada Boom Band! I have been checking the internet last few years trying to find out where you were playing. My wife and I have the band's CD's and she is playing one of them now: "That's what I like about the North." I think it's on the first CD. We saw the band twice in Montgomery, AL. and have wondered what happened to you guys. I have checked the internet and it looked like the band was no more.
We loved your performances.
Y'all were great music and great fun. Wish you were still together.

Hiya Eddie



I am in independent film maker from Australia and I am making a doco about 3 sisters who have the breast cancer gene. I am following them as they deal with this genetic information. It’s a very intimate and moving story which I would like to show you one day.



There is a scene in the film where one of the sisters is swing dancing with her husband and they are dancing to

“Boogie Woogie Bookie from Puducah Kentucky”



Are you the composer of this track? I would like to request permission to use this track for 1 minute within my film.



I look forward to your response.

April 7, 2008

Oh Eddie, That is FABULOUS!!!
Congratulations! (As the Giants are going down 13-2 in Milwaukee).
Can I buy it?

Why do I have a Yankee Barbie and a Derek Jeter doll in my closet??!!
Why don't I have a team? They're like, 11-1 already. What's up with Zito? Wonder if his guitar playing is suffering like his W/L record.
Opening day is Monday here-- I'm taking Sofia out of school, as usual. :-)

Have a good one, Eddie. Great news on the song.

(Did I ever tell you my favorite line from "that's what I like about the North" is the one about watching baseball in the Bronx on an October night..." ? If it was anyone but the Yankees I'd say you were overly optimistic, but considering the time you wrote it, maybe not - just spoiled! Either way, it always makes me smile.)

April 7, 2008

Wow. That's pretty exciting. Congratulations!

Got any plans to see some Yankee games this year? I'm gonna try to go
and steal some memorabilia if I get a chance; there's really no chance
of getting caught for that I'd say...

Cool my brotha---very cool. But don't go a-dyin' just yet.

Are you ready for another season? Today the joke around here about the Tigers is:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Owen?
Owen who?
O and 5 so far this year.

We're usually saying that about the Lions but since the Tigs are the #2 payroll behind your stanks, it's a little unnerving for such a start.

Hey Eddie! I'm sure you don't remember me, but I lived in Nashvegas during the early Badabing days, and worked with Mo and "Reba" Sayre @ the old Nashville Country Club...Good to see that you're still doin' your thing!

Remember I go our fellow writers didn't want to play with me anymore... I am so proud of you! No one writes em better than you! Good luck brother, go Yankees.

Eddie has arrived at Cooperstown! How incredibly cool is that! I'm thrilled beyond words for you that your "Crazy 'Bout Baseball" will be on a CD sold at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Knowing your passion for the sport as I do, I know what this means to you. Congratulations, BB-EM! Let's take a road trip and get roadside blueberries. Love you lots.

Badas remains one of my favorite groups. The CDs keep me company when I'm on the road. I find myself singing all the parts, plus the instrumentals. The "clever" just doesn't wear off or get old.

Hey Ed, sorry I'm a little late with your birthday. I remember the birthday party we had in your old bachelor pad. remember we performed... I like your prediction on the Giants. The best birthday gift of all, the Giants winning. By the way I am in total agreement with Na. Your lyrics are second to none, nobody writes 'em better than you Pal! Go GGGGGGGGGGGGG Mae.... DaVido

Every once in a while we have the good fortune to brush up against “greatness” – it usually affects us profoundly or, in the very least, memorably. Having had the good fortune to brush up against Eddie’s greatness, both professionally and personally – the effect was profound and memorable. There are so many layers to this man both in his music and who he is as a person. Thank you, Eddie for allowing me to truly see the man behind the lyrics and the lyrics inside the man. To those of you that listen to the music on this site – do yourself a favour and really listen to the words or better still read the lyrics as the song plays. You can clearly see his goal was not merely to rhyme. Those words can evoke laughter, joy, sadness, love, familiarity, self recognition and many more emotions if you take the time to truly listen.

Dear Eddie,
My family saw your band perform in Ashville, North Carolina several years ago. During your break, you signed a picture for my son Derek, and talked to him, took him backstage, and let him hold your guitar. You were so sweet! I will never forget that, nor will he. He is now quite the accomplished guitarist, and I would just like to thank you for your kindness and inspiration. I am so glad we found your website, and we are enjoying your songs once again. Good luck to you in your future endeavors!
