Every Sunday afternoon, this played either on the record player, or on The Italian Hour coming from WKOX, in Framingham, Mass. My mother loved music, and she swooned over Mario Lanza among many great voices. "Mom, will you and Dad teach us to speak Italian?"
" We would love to teach you to speak Italian, but, we want you to be all American, and concentrate on your lessons in English." So, Frank, my brother and I never learned a 2nd language, and as most children of immigrants, we blended into the American scene, and our parents spoke better English for they spoke only English in the home with us.
