Wasn't it settled that he was actually born in 1929?

This is Alphonse Indelicato´s SSDI. I´m not sure why it says he died on May 15, 1981. But I would guess that was the date given when he was pronounced legally dead.

You going to make this weeks vig? Who's this guy, Donnie hes a friend of mine.

Bruno: Don't just stand there and look dangerous, friend!

He's talked about a lot. Think he was made in the 70tys and whacked 5 years later short career. Bonanno didn't make guy real young in the 50tys. Guys like Anthony spero about reds same age also made in 77 lefty too. Bill b was made young thou. Shit reds kid probably made the same year.

bill bonanno was made in 1956, the year he got married. im thinking, read it somewhere.

Who did make sonny red? Rusty? Who did joe bonanno make?

Great job on the new vid BnB. I glossed over the title of this thread a few times and didn't realize it was a new vid from you.

If Vito Rizzuto was at the meeting, then he was used as bait. Possibly the Rastelli faction saw the three capos as greedy for drug revenues, so they invited Rizzuto down to the meeting to tempt the three of them into thinking they could strike up a lucrative heroin deal with the Rastelli side. Rizzuto would be a representative of the Canadian pipeline.

Sonny Red was a pretty wacky guy. Apparently he used to hold conversations with himself in the bathroom lol

Did you purposely use images of JB Indelicato when talking about Sonny Red at certain points during the video?

Which image is of JB?

I think you have a great narrator, good voice.

I agree with you there Binnie. That's one of the things that makes the documentaries enjoyable. Marshall's voice has a relaxing effect.

Great site, just watched the Paul Vario vid , that was also really good

The Guiseppe (sp) Bono wedding photo's. You used that photo in a couple of different places. Once as a close up, and then you showed the entire photo later on in the segment and a few times more. It's no big deal and it doesn't take away from anything else you said in the video, but I'm just pointing it out. The photo with Big Trin, Phillip Giaccone , Frank Lino & Bruno Indelicato, it's not Sonny Red. It's his brother JB Indelicato, Bruno's uncle. Sonny Red wasn't at that wedding, he didn't attend social gatherings like weddings and anniversary parties, and things like that. He had a parole guideline that lasted for at least a decade (`0 yrs?) with him, I think. He wasn't allowed to be seen with CN associates and made guys. You know the typical parole guideline they give those guys when they get out of prison, that they aren't allowed to be spotted with other criminals. Sonny Red was known for avoiding being in the same place at the same time with multiple CN members, solely because of his parole and not wanting to violate it and go back to jail.

I didn't know that Sinatra about his parole restrictions. Is there a place for more info on Sonny Red? I was always interested in the Sonny Red and Sonny Black stuff mainly because my old man is called Sonny even though that is not his real name as well. Weird I know but we all got our quirks

Ok! Good to know. One website said that was Sonny Red and I saw resemblance but wasn't sure.

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the kind words.
