Peppino talks about what made him move to America, tough times he had when he first got here, including all the different kinds of non-music jobs he took to make ends meet… feelings of loneliness he encountered as a child because he parents were against him playing guitar, and how he overcame them… cool story about meeting Tony Bennett, his 84 year old mom, forgiveness and more.
