On this bonus episode we learn about how long Casey has been involved in music and where his influence came from. We talk about his work being a drummer, a composer and putting together music for podcasts and documentaries. Casey discusses being a singer/songwriter and his upcoming EP “Gangsters & Ghosts” that will be out in 2021. 

Where did his interest in organized crime come from? Why Frank Costello and the starting of Uncle Frank’s Place. How much time he devotes to these sites and then we learn about how Frank got involved in the 104st Gang in Harlem, NY. Why he was known as the Prime Minister of the Underworld and we learn something you probably did not know about Frank Costello. 

Casey expands on the attempted hit on Frank’s life in 1957 and some of the conspiracies surrounding it. Was his downfall started with his Senate hearing with no 5th Amendment protection? How Frank was inspired for the blockbuster movie- “The Godfather.” We learn a quote of his was actually not from Frank and has Casey ever visited the burial site in Queens, NY. 

We end with a special Christmas Song!

We begin by learning about Larry’s background which includes his positions as a Crime Reporter (Tulsa, OK), Political Editor (LV Sun), and Press Secretary for Nevada Governor Bob Miller. We hear the story behind how he was approached for this position and how this along with his love for journalism all ties into his passion for learning about the mafia. Larry writes a monthly column for The Mob Museum. 

Speaking of the Mob we talk about:

-Hot Springs, AR

-Frank Costello hit that had a tie to the Tropicana in 1957

-Chicago Outfit

-A FBI investigation of killings in KC that ended up exposing the skim in Las Vegas

-Las Vegas Mob Stories that include Tony Spilotro, Lefty Rosenthal, and Ned Day (Investigator Reporter)

What may have caused the decline of the Mob in Vegas along with was Vegas better then or now? Larry started the LV Mafia History Face Book Page (See Links) and why the Mob is such a hot topic right now. Finally, a story about a photo in the Mob Museum that has a tie to Tommy’s family. (This photo has since been removed at the museum).
