This was one of those stories that was fun to write (especially since Skinny was the kind of larger than life hometown guy we all knew or knew about growing up).Kevin Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00703125974467675009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-89382281469846584082011-02-27T18:33:17.311-05:002011-02-27T18:33:17.311-05:00Great feel of the era.

SENSATIONAL swing to the RAT PACK REVUE here AT THE BIJOU. Wonderin' if we'll see Mr D'Amato come 'round again? I sure like the benediction of his prediliction.<br /><br />I've grown accustomed to his style, his suave, his smooth swagger. And his smoke gets in my eyes.<br /><br />~ Absolutely*Kate, thanking you for your talents ... always on the publishing rise (cue music now)Kate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-56237273299505706652011-02-25T18:49:50.715-05:002011-02-25T18:49:50.715-05:00Kevin, from the first word to the last, this story...Kevin, from the first word to the last, this story is mesmerizing.
