It's kinda bizarre when you get this message from FaceBook that "Today is such&who's Birthday", when the person has been dead for a number of yrs. So..."Today is Fabrizio Iannucci Birthday", "Wish Fabrizio Iannucci a happy birthday". I would if I could.
I have fond memories of Fab. First met him at his Italian restaurant (help me w/ the name) in Paso, afore HdR. He hosted a WCWN off-line the night he closed up the restaurant. He gifted me w/ a btl from his cellar...a 1937 cheap Calif "Champagne", closed w/ a plastic stopper. Haven't had the courage to open it.
That's one thing I like about the InterNet. We can all achieve immortality on the InterNet. Sixty yrs from now, when somebody Googles Idlewild Arneis 2015, up will pop a long/boring TN from good ole TomHill, replete with /////'s.
Anyway....wherever you are today, Fab...HappyBirthday.
Tom
