During the 1960’s Bristol Borough Pennsylvania had a strong contingency of Italian families.
In 1961 when kids started stomping, the pop culture of the day didn’t notice that various steps and moves derived from an Italian folk dance called “The Pizzica” may have found its way into the Bristol Stomp.
This observation was brought to our attention when Bristol Borough resident and artists Joseph Sagolla (http://jsagollafinearts.com/) found the following clip on You Tube.
It was the kid's that added the stomp.
A very funny You Tube Video-GREAT RENDITION!
Here's a terrific You Tube slide show we also appreciate.
