MUSICAL BIO
The singer's musical journey began before birth, hearing his father, a self-taught pianist, improvise for hours into the night. His mother's repeated plaint at 3a.m. are today as clear as ever: "Dad, come to bed!" Pop also liked to joyously sing bits of vaguely learned opera arias and odd songs he had heard in the U.S. Army, while stationed in Italy (WWII). He would also break out into a phrase from some current pop tune. Mom sang to the artist as a baby constantly: pop tunes from her youth, and the latest hits on the radio. Many decades later, Mario began performing those same songs at retirement homes. The #1 thing Mario learned from hismom about music is the joy
of SINGING TO someone.
