First, who is the Presenter?
"Rick Busciglio, is a retired broadcast executive and music
historian (vp marketing for a cable network in the US and the UK,
radio and tv host , and television advertising executive)
who has combined his life-long love of films and music and
experience in communications to create a series of mostly nostalgic
programs (or lectures) that he presents in the NJ/NY/Pa area and
internationally to the cruise community. Most of the presentations
include stories of the famous people he has worked with, or met, e.g.
Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, John Denver, Bob Hope,
Miss Piggy (his favorite), etc." Recorder Newspapers (NJ)
"RICK BUSCIGLIO IS A MASTER STORYTELLER"
"YOU ARE THE JONATHAN SCHWARTZ* OF THE SEA !"
The list of rivers and oceans on which we have presented our lectures
include the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, Aegean, Adriatic, English Channel,
North Sea, Baltic, Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, the Nile, St. Lawrence Seaway,
Canada's Inner Passage, and the Mississippi, Ohio and the Tennessee rivers.
.
What do we offer? Nostalgia
Specifically, 45-60 minute audio/video presentations, or lectures, on a wide range
of entertainment topics concentrating on the performers, the music, the movies
and history of yesteryear. From Jolson to Sinatra, Glenn Miller to
Tommy Dorsey, George Gershwin to Cole Porter, Amos n' Andy to Burns and Allen,
the music of Broadway, Hollywood and London's West End...and much more.
What is unique about the presentations?
The presentations, or lectures are designed to be "edu-tainment" that are
very interactive. Audience participation, via quiz and comments, is a key part
of all presentations.......ALL WITH AN EMPHASIS ON HUMOR .
The audio and visual support comes from the use of a laptop (or DVD player), tv set or video projector.

We share a great appreciation for the music of Frank Sinatra. Older fans may remember listening to Jonathan on the legendary WNEW-AM. |
