About Jodi Caruso & Mark Caruso

The Red Chair Lounge

Hello there, folks! My name is Jodi Simons Caruso, and I am here to 
bring you real-life stories shared from real-life people  that   
I hope will encourage you and uplift you!  The Naples Narratives are
brought to you from Naples, NY, a small, beautiful town in the heart
of the Finger Lakes Region.  My husband, Mark, and I have raised four 
children, have a small homestead, and five years ago opened a
Cafe. Our episodes are filmed at  Caruso's Cafe . The people 
you will meet are from the hills, valleys, and lake area of Naples.
Having grown children doesn't mean that life is over;  in fact,  I am 
inspired by my children to continue exploring the world and ways 
in which we can lift each other up, spread unity instead of division, 
and provide a place for story sharing. Stories are such a gift that
connects humans.  I ask that you take the time to listen to the 
stories of folks around you.  Listening deeply to those around us
will hopefully bring us closer in our humanity. We know full well that life
is full of pain, hardships, sorrow, and grief. How we navigate through and
find a place of positivity and peace is the focus of the Naples Narratives.

The Red Chair Lounge Theme Song

Lyrics:

Looking to fish or try a good dish? 

Come on down to Naples!

We're snug in the hills; many great people fill

our little town here in Naples!

We've got the wine, it grows on our vines. 

Naples is yours and Naples is mine.

But there's one place around at the center of town,

Caruso's Cafe, 

Bring your friends and come down to Naples, 

Here at the Crossroads and the Red Chair Lounge!
