Anybody had any contact with them recently?

I used to see them at all the major events.

It was a family venture at every event (brother, sister, niece, etc).

Carmine was a riot to talk to. Very Funny!

Such a nice family.

Thanks!
 
I love Carmine, always positive and upbeat. He's good people!

And he can play a mean guitar too! :cool:

They are all well and still playing pool....its just that they no longer have a product to promote at pool events......so there goes that......
 
A Great Family

The Sardo family has a New Years Party every year.
Mike Massey and Francine took me there, and I am always welcomed.

They have 17 brothers and sisters I believe?
They all play musical instruments and every one who comes over on New Years is welcome to join the band.
If you can"t play a instrument you can sing, a great time is had by all.

Mama Sardo used to get up and dance, man could she dance.
I bought my first guitar because of Mama, I wanted to learn how to play "You Got It" for her by Roy Orbision.

Carmine is a Hall of Fame Guitar player and played lead for Freddy Fender.
Love my Sardo Rack Lou.
What a great family, Barney

Holy Wasted Days and Wasted Nights! I had no idea. Man, that Carmine is something else! :cool:

That used to be one of my all-time favorite songs when I was playing pool at my neighborhood tavern! In fact, I played it so often that the bartender would cut it off as soon as it started. Everybody got sick of it, except me, of course! :embarrassed2:
 
I live in a small town suburb of Los Angeles. Most of the Sardos live one town over. Our town has a rinky-dink 4th of July celebration that starts with a parade down our "Main" Street. Its really small potatoes stuff, Realtors magic markering their name on a piece of cardboard, taping it to their car and calling themselves a "float". You get the picture. Every year we walk down to the street, set up chairs and start our 4th with our neighbors laughing and loving the parade. We all end up at the High School that night capping it off with a really well done fireworks display.



This year, here comes a flat-bed truck with red white and blue streamers all over it and on the bed of the truck is a blue-grass band "The Sardos" I was all up out of my chair telling everybody " I know those guys" like it was celebs on the red carpet.

I have two brothers living in California, one in Happy Camp and one in Cathedral City. The one in Cathedral City wants me to move there. He says it is cool. Do you know anything about Cathedral City? I'm considering it.
 
Wow, I was way off.............

Sunland, yeah isn't that near the Burbank Airport.
I was thinking Woodland Hills, not sure which Sardo home?
That's about 35 miles away......

Sure I know about it. Let me start with this tomorrow the high temp will be 85 and the low 55. There won't be a cloud in the sky and about 25% humidity. All the people that are living there are saying its so nice when its cool. Your first Summer will shock you but you'll learn to live in that sun and heat like a lizard. Its not that far from where your pal used to live, although he might not remember much. Move there and bring that Keith with you.

Sorta close. I'm a little North of all of that. The Sardos live and work in La Crescenta (next town over) and Glendale (I think), next down South.

35 miles from you? Where are you?

"Like a lizard." :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:

No wonder my brother is brown when he comes back East for a visit. :grin:

Actually, Keith did say it was too hot for him in Cathedral City, but my brother says the real estate there is really cheap for quality places to live. You can get a one-bedroom condo for $35,000 and a two-bedroom for $75,000, and the place is gated with a pool, sauna, workout room, et cetera. It is geared for people over 50, no loud noises or kids running around.

You can't even get an efficiency where I live for less than $100,000.

It is searing hot in the Summer, but the folks I know that live there get used to it (read adjust to it or "work around it") but in ways its truly paradise, and yeah, a bit of a retirement atmosphere. And for So Cal (if the desert is SoCal) cheap and affordable.

And, coming from the humidity you are in, you can't really compare the temps, as everybody out there is quick to tell you when you gasp over the fact that its 107 degrees, "but its a DRY heat" (which its). Still sometimes in the Summer its so hot you think you can't get any oxygen out of the air, but you get used to it all.
