It’s on my bucket list to one day go to the annual Dean Martin Festival in Steubenville, Ohio.
My friend went in order to write a newspaper piece on it, and I meant to go but the next year it was cancelled or something.
My big childhood memory of Dean Martin was his TV show where he always entered by sliding down a pole. I would watch just to see him slide down the pole. My parents didn’t really like him because they thought he was “a drunk” as my mother put it. Watching now as an adult I see he was probably inebriated a good bit of the time, but his earlier dramatic movies like “Some Came Running” are awesome.
