Marty was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His recently released book, “My Brooklyn, My Way From Brownsville to Canarsie in the 1950’s” chronicles his childhood through a series of short stories and poems.
In today's episode, Marty will share some of his most cherished recollections about his early years, including stories about his family, friends, neighbors, local shops, vacations in the Catskills and summertime fun.
Marty is a master storyteller who will transport you to a simpler time and place where people made the most of what little they had and found joy in relationships with each other. 
With enthusiasm and descriptive language, Marty will tell of the wonderful times he had, such as playing stick ball with old broom handles, hot summer days at Betsy Head Pool, trips to Coney Island and hanging around at the local candy stores.
