I’ve been spending a great amount of time lately, scouring old books and dusty tomes. I’ve been in search of the wisdom and knowledge of the ancients. But all I find leads to more questions, more areas to study.

The Rat Pack Live At The Sands

16 Aug

August 16, 2020

 

I’ve been listening to The Rat Pack, Live At The Sands because turning 50 this year just isn’t old enough. This recording features Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. in a live performance from 1963. This is the best known and most famous (and talented) version of The Rat Pack, a group which started around 10 years earlier with Humphrey Bogart.

This is just flat out fun. Get it. If you need me to tell you what these guys are all about then you need more help than I am prepared to give.

Sinatra: The best pure singer of the group
Martin: The best all-around entertainer
Davis: The most talented in the Pack

Also members but not on the CD, since they don’t sing:

Peter Lawford: Why?
Joey Bishop: Meh

I’ve been trying to start my own Blog Pack, but Martha Stewart won’t return my calls.
