Well, dear heart, I'm working on it! Have a bid in and hopefully will get it tomorrow unless it goes too high. I just rec'd. the "Sinatra & Company" and I know how fantastic it really is, because a very dear friend made of tape of it for me!!!!! Now I have the CD to play at the puter. However, everytime I try to do that, my concentrations goes complete down the drain and everything stops!! But it's worth the pause, isn't it?

I was playing "Sinatra & Company" last evening getting dressed to go out to dinner, and Abe said "Arn't those sort of unusual songs for HIM to be singing?" (Abe usually refers to Mr. S. as "Sinatra" and he knows I don't like that- Mr.S. or Francis are my respected names and that's it!) He actually said he liked them, the arrangements and the beat! Might have a convert yet! Perhaps Francis & Antonio will put him over the edge!

Great to hear from you--been a long time. Business must be good, eh? Incidently, think very highly of your son-in-law. . . .quite a gentleman and handles himself as such in a knock-down forum fight! I think he's a real hoot!! Wish I had been as fortunate!

I'll let you know when the FS & ACJ arrive (hopefully!) Regards to your family from the Heartland, where it's been raining for three days and three night. We need it badly, but it might be the time to get out the boards for Noah!
