first, best, biggest!

Of all the things that ol' Blue Eyes was, I never thought of him as "Rock". IMO.

Is that the three or four disc set in the binder?

I have that one. Gotta love Frank.

EMS.

And expect copies of the stuff I have in return.

I've got the world on a string

There was a VERY cool article about Frank back in Spin magaze, maybe in late '97 or early '98, just a few months before he died. Talked about the man behind the scenes: how at parties, he had several drinks stationed around the room so it appeared that he "drank heavily" so as to keep up that image... and some of those decoys had apple juice in them.

Frank always drank his Jack Daniels straight though, never with water. My favorite quote of Frank's: "Water is no good for you -- it'll rust you out. Hell, even my shower has soda water in it!"

I'm 41 and thanks to my parents, Frank has been a dietary staple of mine for decades. My iPod is loaded with his stuff.

would you hit him?

He did it his way.

The Reprise years set and that Capitol Years sets are great-----the Columbia set is hit and miss as it is his very very early stuff and less up tempo

I tend to think of some of the great composers as rock starts of their time.

Loved them both.

Him too.

When dirt was new and Frank was young and just starting out, him mention to his record producer name of upcoming young singer, and how much him like singer's style.
Producer tell Frank, 'Forget that guy. The only singer you should be listening to is Bing Crosby'.
