Funny moments?

does anyone have any funny Sinatra moments to share? Here’s a couple that I found?.

During the early Dorsey tour years, Rooming with Buddy Rich, Frank Sinatra cut his toenails at 2 AM and that’s what got them split up.

”Stanley Kay, Rich’s longtime personal manager said, ‘Buddy told me they had their first argument when Frank started cutting his toenails at two o’clock in the morning. The clicking of the scissors disturbed Buddy and woke him up. An argument started — and no more rooming together.”

During that same tour season, he would also take two-three showers a day and “Even then, he always asked for his pay and change in new bills”

Discography?

Is there any way to listen to his whole discography? I know youtube is the obvious place, and some people might say spotify or mixtapesmonkey or something, but looking for everything like "thicker than water" "air your ass out" and "rowdy rowdy" like is there a list of all his songs, or an organized playlist or download place? A lot of mixtape compilations or sites miss out on rare tracks or OG versions. Ever since the google doc was taken down and the mega post isn't complete.

Seeking archive information on Major Bowes' Amateur Theater of the Air No. 3 (1935)

Hello! I'm researching Frank Sinatra's earliest surviving film appearances and have been trying to locate information on Major Bowes' Amateur Theater of the Air No. 3 (1935), which is often cited in Sinatra filmographies.

I'm not looking to debate the content of the film, as it is contenious, and i'm sure everyone knows here that he later apologized and was a progressive individual. I'm simply trying to determine whether a complete print survives, what archive or collection may hold it, and whether it has ever been screened or released.

Has anyone here seen documentation of a surviving print or know where Ringgold & McCarty obtained their information for The Films of Frank Sinatra (1973)?

Piano Transcription? Glen Hardin [r]

Hey! I'm very in awe of Glen Hardin's playing on the backup for Can't Help Falling In Love during the later live shows, i'm wondering if he used sheet music or if he memorized something. Is there any way to find a pdf of the transcription of what he played, or do any tribute artist backup pianists know where to find one?

Hello! Been scouring the internet for a transcription (pdf) of literally any of his performances of Night and Day, and it's impossible for me to find! Does anyone know where to find or if some old blogspot page had it?
