OK - let's get some history on the Diano legacy.
Who - Tony Diano - we know.

What got him started in the biz?

When did he get started and when it end.

Where was the base of operation?

How big was his operation in the beginning and at the height of its existence?

And for laughs and giggles does anyone have amusing stories to share?

Staying home on Black Friday.

Ah yes, Black Friday!
At this moment my wife is encamped in a tent in front of Best Buy eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the new IPhone!

Mike;
A number of your questions can be answered in an article by Homer C. Walton on the Diano Winter Quarters, in the May-June 1962 issue of The Bandwagon.
There is also an article on the Diano Bros. Circus in the July-August 1971 Bandwagon.

show out for a shortened season
