My cousin Paul Lester ( Buddy's son and great sports photographer) and Uncle Buddy Lester in the year 2000. This was taken after one of my concerts at The Waterfall in downtown Los Angeles.

Photo: Thanks to Billy for this pic. He added this description:

 "Tony Russell, Frank Vincent and BP at a commercial shoot for Aflac featuring Frank. Frank and Joe Pesci had an act years before they made it. Joe sang and played guitar and Frank was a great drummer. Tony sang and played piano. They were all old friends from New Jersey. Tony is one of my closest friends. The late Frank Vincent told me his idol was Dean Martin. Frank and Joe were super close.
