We talk about his work being a drummer, a composer and putting together music for podcasts and documentaries. Casey discusses being a singer/songwriter and his upcoming EP “Gangsters & Ghosts” that will be out in 2021.
Where did his interest in organized crime come from? Why Frank Costello and the starting of Uncle Frank’s Place. How much time he devotes to these sites and then we learn about how Frank got involved in the 104st Gang in Harlem, NY. Why he was known as the Prime Minister of the Underworld and we learn something you probably did not know about Frank Costello.
Casey expands on the attempted hit on Frank’s life in 1957 and some of the conspiracies surrounding it. Was his downfall started with his Senate hearing with no 5th Amendment protection? How Frank was inspired for the blockbuster movie- “The Godfather.” We learn a quote of his was actually not from Frank and has Casey ever visited the burial site in Queens, NY.
We end with a special Christmas Song!
