- 2:18Speaker 2: He texted me right away, he said, that's a great song.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Song it is, and it was perfect. And what happened was,
- 2:24Speaker 3: you know, I also do another show at the Carnegie
- 2:26Speaker 3: Club every Friday and Saturday night. And I was doing
- 2:30Speaker 3: some introductions and everything, and the next song was ready
- 2:32Speaker 3: to come up, and everybody started cheering that the that
- 2:35Speaker 3: the Knicks one, you know, So the next song happened
- 2:37Speaker 3: to be my wife. So I said, okay, I'm going
- 2:39Speaker 3: to dedicate this to the Spurs. And now the end
- 2:42Speaker 3: is here and everybody's gonna last.
- 2:45Speaker 2: That's great. Are you a Nick fan? I know you're
- 2:48Speaker 2: a New York guy. You're a Nick fan.
- 2:51Speaker 3: I'm not a big sports fan, but if I am
- 2:53Speaker 3: going to watch anything, it's gonna be Yankees, Giants, Knicks
- 2:56Speaker 3: and Rangels. You know, that's that's it. I'm I live
- 2:59Speaker 3: in New Jersey now and from me Stalom originally and
- 3:02Speaker 3: then the Bronx, and now I live in New Jersey
- 3:04Speaker 3: for the past forty years.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And New Jersey's a lovely said I live there too.
- 3:07Speaker 2: You so live in ten of buy New Jersey.
- 3:09Speaker 1: So when did the whole Frank Sinatra, any one of
- 3:11Speaker 1: these guys, Dean Martin and Bobby die and all those
- 3:13Speaker 1: guys you perform? Why did you start doing all that?
- 3:19Speaker 3: I was eight years old. I moved from Harlem up
- 3:22Speaker 3: to the Bronx, and at the beginning I had to
- 3:25Speaker 3: walk back and forth to school by myself for a
- 3:27Speaker 3: while because I didn't know any of the kids. And
- 3:29Speaker 3: I heard a recording of Frank Sinatra singer Mike kind
- 3:31Speaker 3: of Town, and I would sing a song to myself
- 3:34Speaker 3: walking back and forth to school. And then after a
- 3:36Speaker 3: couple of days, I figured out I got to find
- 3:38Speaker 3: another song now. So my parents had only one Sinatra
- 3:41Speaker 3: album in the house, but it happened to be A
- 3:43Speaker 3: Man in Its Music, which is a double album with
- 3:45Speaker 3: all the big hits on it, so I started to
- 3:47Speaker 3: explore that, and that's how I got into Frank. And
- 3:51Speaker 3: then I started listening to William B. Williams and on
- 3:54Speaker 3: the radio and Johnson Schwartz, all those guys, and that's
- 3:57Speaker 3: how I found Ella and Dean and then Sammy. And
- 4:00Speaker 3: when I was a kid, my mother I had to
- 4:01Speaker 3: be to bed at ten o'clock to go to school,
- 4:05Speaker 3: but on Thursdays she'd let me stay up till eleven
- 4:07Speaker 3: so I can watch the Dean Moontin Show.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Not as fantastic, I love it now.
- 4:12Speaker 3: I was going to Dina as a very close friend
- 4:13Speaker 3: of mine.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Oh she's she was here. You know, she did shows
- 4:16Speaker 1: on the weekends here for a while.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Remember I used to listen.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's terrific.
- 4:20Speaker 3: I just want to visit. She lives in Branson, Missouri.
- 4:23Speaker 3: We were just out there to visit in November, I
- 4:25Speaker 3: think it was.
- 4:26Speaker 2: We spent a couple of days with them Branson, Missouri.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I miss did a lot of shows from out there,
- 4:30Speaker 1: which is funny you mentioned that place. So for folks
