Legend has it that Dr. Vinnie was born in a backstage trunk in a shady nightclub

run by Pittsburgh mobsters who filled their joint with steaming calamari and hot jazz.

Abandoned by his songstress mother, who ran off to entertain in USO shows, he was adopted

by compassionate strippers with closet maternal instincts. Quickly learning the biz of show,

he eventually graduated summa sound laude with a pHD in Swingology from The Sammy Davis

College of Musical Knowledge, and has been performing ever since.
