Once again for those of you who are interested and/or who follow this blog, and the videos I create and upload to You Tube. I’ve recently uploaded the latest installment of the popular “Gangsters In Granite” series to You Tube. Feel free to check out the latest installment to the “Gangsters In Granite” series below.

This film is on “Ragtime” Joe Howard? I bet you’re wondering just who “Ragtime” Joe was. Well for starters he wasn’t really anyone of huge importance. He was just a small time hood during the roaring 20s era in Chicago.

His only real claim to fame happens to be that he allegedly slapped around Greasy Thumb Jake Guzik, who was an alleged pimp, and Al Capone’s financial wizard of sorts. Well to make a long story short Al Capone found out about this little slap happy episode then took it upon him self and pumped six bullets into the body of “Ragtime” Joe.

So that’s the brief and concise story of “Ragtime” Joe. Feel free to rate my film, favorite it if you like, and by all means let me know what you think. I really enjoy and take to heart the positive, and constructive feedback I get on my films.

For those of you who are interested. I’ve uploaded a new film to YouTube related to my Gangsters In Granite graveside film series. My latest film titled Gangsters In Granite Vol. XI – Danny Stanton. Is a biographical narration on the life of 1920s era Chicago Labor Racketeer Danny Stanton, who is buried in Chicago’s Mt. Olivet cemetery. For your viewing enjoyment the video is posted below. Let me know what you think, I love getting feedback on the films I create.

On a lighter note I’ve recently uploaded the footage from the second MiniDV tape I recorded in Chicago over two years ago. So I’ll be busy in the coming month or so editing the old footage to include voice-over narration, and photos. I’m now in the process of editing, all my old footage from cemeteries in the Detroit and Chicago area. Due to the grave hunting season being over for me because of the snow, and ice on the ground. I figure I’ll spend the off-season editing, the older footage, when I find the time to do so.

For those of you who follow my blog, I’d like to bring you up to speed on my film uploads to You Tube. For your viewing enjoyment I introduce to you the latest installments of my Gangsters In Granite Chicago Style series. Volumes IX, and X.

Here is Volume IX. Its kinda a two for one deal being that these two gangsters Tim Murphy & John Oberta were married to the same woman at two different times. It just so happens that they are buried in the same plot. Unfortunately John Oberta is in an unmarked grave.

And here’s Vol. X. This installment of Gangsters In Granite is on Joseph Saltis/Soltis who was the ruthless sidekick to psychopathic homicidal killer Frank McErlane on the Southwest side of Chicago. Saltis and McErlane were the leaders of the Saltis/McErlane mob.

Let me bring you all up to speed on a few things. As mentioned before I’m in the process of re-uploading, & editing my older films I have on YouTube. Each video I upload will include photos, and voice-over narration. With that said I finally figured out how to repost the films I upload to YouTube on my blog.

I used to be able to copy the coding from YouTube and then paste the film on the blog. But for some insane reason the coding allowed on WordPress changed. So here is the latest video I’ve uploaded to You Tube.

My latest film is on psychopathic prohibition era Chicago gangster Frank McErlane. The footage is from the original footage I recorded about two maybe three years ago in Holy Sepulchre cemetery, in Alsip, Illinois which is a Chicago suburb. Let me know what you think, feel free to favorite, and rate my film.
