THE
PASSING OF CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO
In 1988, Kenny Casanova, still a junior -at Vestal High School, was
approached by some turd-burglar in home-room, whose mother worked
for the M.S. Foundation. The deal was that CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO was
running a fund-raising wrestling show to benefit M.S. and that if
her son found a few guys to sell tickets, they would get to have
dinner with the wrestlers!!!
Realizing that you gotta start
somewhere, and that M.S. too was a great cause, The Prince of
Passion jumped at the chance and actually had a hand in helping to
promote his first show.
After the show had finished, just
as promised, a wide-eyed Casanova was led into a banquet room, where
he saw Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, Misty Blue, The Wild Samoans, Sgt.
Slaughter, a young Samu & Fatu, and Col. DeBeers. He was then
seated, next to a grateful CAPT LOU, and they feasted on chicken
wings.
After Casanova asked "The
Capper" about managing, Lou ate the cartilage off of a bone and
said, "...Son...It's tough...Just like promoting a show, by
plugging it everywhere...as cheap as possible, (gulp)...you gotta
promote your wrestlers and promote yourself...but most
importantly...you gotta win matches at all costs...and ride your
wrestlers coat-tails to the top...Pass the Blue-Cheese..."
Kenny replied, "Uggggggggggggghhh...You
eat the chicken-knuckle?!?!"
The founding father of The Rock N Wrestling Connection
admitted, "Of course!!! (swallow)...THAT'S THE BEST
PART!"
I will never forget The Wrestling
Album, one of my first tape cassettes. It came on what almost looked
like a sleeve of a record. I listened to Captain Lou's "History
of Music" probably a million times... I also loved his work
with The WIld Samoans & George The Animal Steele in the ring...
RIP Captain Lou... I have found
memories of you.

FILM APPEARANCES
"THE ZOMBIE KILLER" KENNY CASANOVA IN "DEAD RESIDENT"
 Dead Residence,a 2007 film
nomination in The Ed Wood Film Festival stars Kenny Casanova as
Commander Bradshaw, opened at The Madison Theater in Albany, NY on
Sunday April 15, 2007.
In this independent zombie flick
released by Twisted Light Productions, was the second half of a
Creature Double Feature along with Vampire Assassin, by Archangel
Productions.
Directed by Jared Balog, Casanova plays a
character that is a far stretch from what he is normally associated
with. Playing the leader of a special forces unit, Kenny Casanova
heads out to explore a residential area just outside of Albany, NY
to rid the world of the largest form of rodents in the supernatural
world... Zombies.
Kenny as a Zombie Killer is
loud, brash, demanding and very different than the karaoke
mic-yielding "Prince Of Passion" that we have grown accustomed to.
In this setting, Kenny Casanova trades in his red velvet tuxedo for
a flack jacket and a machine gun. He sets out with three soldiers;
two grizzled veterans and a rookie, to explore houses, kill zombies
and take any extra riches as "a finder's fee" to make the trip worth
while.
 Kenny's character, Commander Bradshaw, has definitely seen
"some things that will make your worse nightmare look like a
fairytale." You can too.
Dead Residence, starring Kenny
Casanova with a surprising cameo performance by Camp Casanova
Member, Buttery Bert Williams, will be out soon on DVD. Stay tuned
to this site for ordering information.
