Recently, I called up Tony
Sacca, “Ambassador of Las Vegas” and producer-host of television show
“Entertainment Las Vegas Style,” to book local entertainer Dixie Dooley on
Sacca’s KNUU radio show on 970 AM.
Las Vegas Strip headline
magician Dixie Dooley had just received a City of Las Vegas Proclamation, making
November 13 Dixie Dooley Day. I was pleased to present the award to him on
behalf of Mayor Oscar Goodman.
Dooley, known as “The Magic
Mystifier,” has done a lot of community work using his talents to perform for
children at Safe House and for various other charities. He has been recognized
for his celebration of the magic of Houdini, which he has presented for over 30
years in Las Vegas.
While they were getting ready
to tape Tony’s radio show, the host asked me to join them on-air, which I
thought was very nice. It was a well-paced show, and it included another guest
entertainer, author Martin Andrew, who performs a tribute to Rod Stewart.
During
the show, Tony spoke about the responsibility of the interviewer to the
interviewee and the audience. Tony likes to dig deep, bringing out the best in
the discussion, which he feels makes it a more interesting segment. In fact, he
and I both like to do inspirational interviews that bring out positive messages
about the celebrities and guests we speak with, which helps to motivate and
uplift our audiences. Thanks, Tony, for your honesty and compassion.
I would be remiss if I didn’t
tell you to stop by Josette’s Bistro, west of the Strip, and check out Tony
Sacca the singer doing some great standards, Doo Wop and those nostalgic songs,
such as those made popular by Sinatra and Bobby Darin, as well as Louis
Armstrong’s songs.
Tony sings from the heart,
and he started his singing career along with his brother in Philadelphia. And be
sure to catch his Christmas show, which is taped at Josette’s Bistro, featuring
Tony and friends.
Josette’s is at 4983 W.
Flamingo Rd. (www.josettesbistro.com).
Call (702) 227-4575 for more information on the holiday show and Tony Sacca’s
regular performances.
Tony’s TV show airs on Cable
14, Channel 25 in the Las Vegas area, as well as in other Southern Nevada
cities, and it is also aired via Direct TV and Dish Network in Southern

My book of poetry

with Victoria Boone and Beryl Warren.
The group of poems
