Happy 109th, Francis Albert!
I am truly surprised that December 12th is not an Italian holiday. It was on this day in 1915, that Frank Sinatra was born. Frank is revered as Italian royalty. His voice made the women swoon. Men both respected him and were jealous of him. Many biographies have been written about him, so I will … Continue reading Happy 109th, Francis Albert!

Movie Music Monday – Robin and the Seven Hoods
Yesterday, I posted about the premier of Columbo with Peter Falk. Coincidentally, today is the anniversary of his birth. He was born on this day in 1927, and is worthy of a two day celebration. He stars as Guy Gisborne, alongside The Rat Pack in a spoof on Robin Hood. Falk convincingly plays his gangster … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Robin and the Seven Hoods
