Anthony Orio and the Good Fellers

I Literally Sang For My Breakfast

December 19th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Last night after the show me and the boys ended up at what could possibly be the best Chinese Restaurant I have ever been in.  That’s right…they have full service, sit down Chinese food available here at 3:30 in the morning.  We got to talking with a table near us and when they found out we were in a band, of course they wanted a little sample of the music.

So….I stood up, middle of a packed restaurant, 3 in the morning and sang “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra to one of the guys wives.  Got a pretty good response from the people eating in the restaurant too.  We continued talking with them and they were awesome.  Funny as hell…made my night and even let us sample a few of the dishes they ordered.
Well..by the time the meal was winding down, one of the guys had picked up our pretty hefty bill (I have some big eaters on this trip with me), in exchange for one more song.  I did “Rock With You” by Michael Jackson, and although he picked up a fork and threatened to stab me when I started hip thrusting near his wife…overall, he seemed happy with the performance.
Thanks for the food Raj!  Ya’ll rock!
P.S.  We actually have footage of this…..coming soon.

    ya know….to pair this story with another example of ant singing and dancing in places……

    we were at a small breakfast dive in Panama City Beach florida on the day after Michael Jackson died. Ant was upset about it and a little drunk. 2 big rednecks walked in and sat behind us. Anthony put some songs on the jukebox including some Michael Jackson.

    At some point the 2 men behind us started to comment that they’re glad Michael was dead and something along the lines of Michael had it coming. This upset Young Orio greatly and after about 6 minutes he jumped out of his seat walked directly in front of these two large gentlemen’s table and started doing a very accurate hip thrusting crotch shaking and grabbing leg kicking finger shaking “woooo” yelling impersonation of Michael Jackson. Anthony was challenging these men to a dance off. they were wise to back down.

    In summary, Let us all be great full that Anthony uses his hips for good, and not evil.

    thanks for breakfast you guys were fun and just very cool to hang out with.
