Happy Birthday Dad

My Dad, Aunts and Cousin Dancing in the Living Room


I guess this is what my family did before me and my brother were born and there was no internet and probably not a television in the living room, or if there was, there was nothing on worth watching. Either way it’s pretty awesome this was captured on Super 8. I transferred this back in the 90s when computers didn’t like video all that much. I’ll try to make a much clearer copy soon. The music is by the Human Beinz, a band from Youngstown OH (same town where this scene is taking place). My Father went to high school with the lead singer for the band. This was their big hit. The singer from the Human Beinz (his name was Ting) owned one of the first VHS rental stores in our town. The two Aunts dancing are first Aunt Josephine “Poup” Pollazo and then Aunt Sarah Collangelo. The picture on the wall is of my Mom (who was obviously filming - ha!). And that’s my Aunt Coletta Marsco on the phone and Sarah’s Daughter Sally who comes in to dance it out with my dad Martin “Butch” Hudak.

Happy Birthday Dad. I’ve now made you internet famous.

Love, Rob

    Dear Rob,
    Thank you for making me laugh so hard, that George had to get out of bed to see what was going on! Never could I have imagined that this priceless family moment, would make it to the internet. Those were some good times on Norwood. Once again, I am notiecably absent from this event. I was probably in the dining room sneaking a slo gin fizz with your NaNa.
    Hello to Jen & Charlie.

    Love,
    Cousin Patty

    Hi Rob, I loved the video so much, it brought back such great memories and I too helped wear out NaNa’s carpet. Those were the greatest memories of my growing up years spending it with your family. Thanks for doing this love to you and jen and charlie Janet

    Its Friday. I am at work suffering from a million types of anxiety.Considering jumping off the MArket St. bridge on way home. All is not well, mine is not a happy story.

    Then, something / someone / Jesus tells me to look at my mail.
    I sit in disbelief. I can go on now….
    Unbelievable. Simply priceless.
