Bio
Mattiniero was born as the third son of a poor coal miner in Germany. His year of birth is not already dated but must be around 1900. When he was a little child his family had to leave their home country because his father affronted Kaiser Wilhelm as a "guy who looks like a parrot and acts like a madman" ... so they went to the United States. Mattiniero grew up in Little Italy - so this was the reason for his strange German Italian accent! As a young man he was running from success to success. His unique playing techniques and his thrilling whistling led him from Broadway over Las Vegas to Chicago where he was entertaining the upper class during the prohibition era and beyond. -
