Mr. S: My Life with Frank Sinatra | 
Reading with my ipad & phone so I can look up all the places. Just learned that I work across the street from the cemetery where many huge celebs are buried; that Matteo‘s restaurant near my home was Sinatra hangout. Spaces hold the DNA of what came before and I feel the past‘s presence strongly.
This book is wonderful trip through a city and time. Lots of good gossip too! Book # 1
Litsi And a new thought. The Rat Pack was an ad campaign for the joys of drinking alcohol which of course was controlled by Sam Giancana. “My Kind of Town” takes on a whole new meaning as a pledge of loyalty to the Chicago mob. 6y
Litsi Sinatra didn‘t “get” Elvis. He would listen obsessively to All Shook Up and Teddy Bear to understand why they were popular. He refused to call it art. Interesting discussion about the transition in music from Sinatra to Elvis and eventually Rock n Roll. 6y
