Three Years Of The Truth

The Frank Truth began on this date three years ago. At times, especially in the beginning, it has been a somewhat clumsy attempt to share my love for "all things Sinatra," but it has always been genuine in that purpose. My sincere wish is that the show will always be a respectful tribute to the greatest entertainer in history.

The Frank Truth is a labor of love. It has never had a sponsor. It costs me countless hours to produce (at considerable expense) and generates virtually no revenue. Still, I wouldn't change a thing.

To the thousands around the world who have listened to this program, I thank you. It's a pleasure to receive your emails and comments, and to know that you enjoy the show. It's also been wonderful getting to know some of you a little better in ongoing email conversations over the years.

I hope that in the coming year we can create more opportunities for interaction among all of us as we celebrate together the life, the career and the legacy of Francis Albert Sinatra.
