Marissa Muro has moxie. She?s a Highlandtown native who took cabs to and from her singing telegram gigs and admits that one of her favorite songs is “Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long.” She admits to listening Rat Packers Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin for hours when she was a little girl.
“If it wasn?t these artists in my parent?s record collection, then I was listening to Broadway musicals and Italian opera. As a child, I didn?t really know what the operas were about, but liked the richness of the music, dramatic interpretation and the range of the singer?s voices that filled my ears,” she said.
