When Cool Was King

Classical Music All The Way

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and many more are the kind of gentlemen kids should look up to. Although, their success and fame was not our generation but still the music that these perfomers carried was enticing. Classical music to me is a fresher course on what music should still be portrayed as. For example, The Rat Pack were not only singers but comedians as well.

The Rat Pack

I remember sitting in the kitchen and helping my mom cook to the sounds of Sammie Davis Jr. singing, “impressions” and watching Comedian Foster Brooks roasting Dean Martin on AMC T.V.

I guess looking at it, I grew up around a family who listened and watched this time era of performers. What do I listen to before going out on a night on the town? Frank Sinatra-I Wont Dance. Simply fantastic.

I come from a Greek heritage and proud of it. Sports have been my life, especially hockey and golf. I am a huge Detroit sports fan and that will never change. I am a supporter of fashion and old school attire. Give me a suit, bottle of red wine, a record of Frank Sinatra and I am complete. Recently, I have taken up Greek Dancing, recently being about a year, and enjoy it. Since this is only a introductory blog, you can learn a little more about me socially and professionally, visiting my Facebook and Linkedin pages.
