Dan Chouinard and "Mambo Italiano"

Musician Dan Chouinard spent a summer biking across Europe with his accordion and fell in love with the countryside and the people. He brought home a deep appreciation for the music of Italy and its roots here in America.

His Fitzgerald Theater show, "Mambo Italiano" celebrates that music with several of his musical friends. Dan, along with Prudence Johnson, tenor Dan Dressen and Italian singer Carlo Cicala stopped in the Morning Show studio to preview their show.

Songs performed: "Oj Mari,'" "Mattinata," "'A Pizza," and "Where the Boys Are."
