Annual 9-11 tribute ceremony slated Sept. 11 on Derby Green

 

Tribute to Dean Martin performance slated at Seymour Public Library

Jack Lynn was born in Bridgeport, Ct. at the time Dean Martin’s career was beginning to “take off.” Born of a Sicilian immigrant mother, Jack was raised in the atmosphere of a typical Italian family of the 1950s. 

“There was always lots of love, lots of food, and lots of great music.”
With the urging of friends, family and other singers, Jack developed his “Dino’s Back – A Tribute to Dean Martin” show. Jack will tell you, “I don’t consider myself an impressionist although people tell me if they close their eyes, it’s like listening to a Dean Martin CD. I really don’t think there could be any greater compliment for me. My goal is to honor and celebrate the memory of Dino’s sound, great sense of humor, and maybe have some fun along the way.”

In addition as a part of his show, Jack performs mini tributes to Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Perry Como and Elvis Presley.

This is a free event open to all, no registration is necessary for the 7 p.m. concert April 26. Library doors open at 6:30 p.m. Circulation and public computers remain closed.

Please call the library with any questions - 203-888-3903.

I've attended this vigil in past years. It's always a moving tribute to those who have served or who are currently serving in the military.
