Rest In Peace, Charlie Suntan...

I've been out of touch this week and missed the sad news that Bill Miller, Frank Sinatra's longtime pianist, collborator and friend, passed from this life last Tuesday.

Though he is missed by those who knew and loved him, they may take comfort in the knowledge that his musical legacy will live on for generations to come.

Luck Be A Lady

Here's the paraphrase of a conversation outside Bellagio last Sunday night.
Him: Do you want to get coffee now?
Her: No, let's watch the next show.
Him: I thought you were falling asleep?
Her: I am, but I need to get the stink from that Celine-Bocelli crap they just did off me.
Lucky thing for us that they stayed. Here's Dave's video of the next fountain show.

Thanks to David Lifton of the Wings for Wheels Weblog and the Screaming Eagles Podcast for sending it to us. I'm also looking forward to a brand new music show from Dave (coming soon to an earbud near you).

We'll have a new FT for you in the next week or so. Keep in touch!
