Synopsis
The book introduces us to Sinatra's life and art seen from an unconventional point of view: Ol Blue Eyes prodigious appetite for alcohol. Drinking was an integral part of his character, his lifestyle and (by extension) his creative output. This book also functions as a practical cocktail manual, containing more than 30 detailed recipes for preparing and presenting fancy drinks he was known to enjoy himself; as well as providing information on some of Sinatra s own personal drinking lore and some of the traditions he followed or inspired. There are also accounts of some of his favorite watering holes (from legendary saloons such as Toots Shor s and Jilly s to Villa Capri or Monte s Venetian Room), profiles of famous drinking buddies (such as Humphrey Bogart or Mike Romanoff) and a selection of drinking stories. The book begins with an essay looking at the role drink played throughout his life and ends with a consideration of his most enduring persona The Last Saloon Singer. In between there are chapters on Classic Bourbon drinks, the Martini, Exotic Booze, Hangover Remedies and The Rat Pack."

About the Author
TOM SMITH was born in Liverpool. Having graduated from the University of East Anglia he performed throughout the 1980s with cult bands the Cas Carnaby Five and The Fire Hydrant Men. He was front man for Gee Mr. Tracy and the band released a series of succesful singles, two albums, and appeared on the Tube and Saturday Live. In 2000, after a dozen years as a manager for independent record labels, he became a freelance writer specializing in music journalism. He has written biographies of the Ramones and Blondie, but has also branched out into drama with a BBC Radio commission taking as its subject the relationship between Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As an artist he has exhibited jointly with his wife as The Smiths and his work has appeared on various posters, albums and singles covers. His 2011 exhibition Jockey Full of Bourbon featured paintings of Elvis, Tom Waits and Frank Sinatra, the subject of his latest book.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. One For My Baby is the story of Frank Sinatra with a twist - combined with cocktail recipes. The book introduces us to his life and art seen from an unconventional point of view - Ol' Blue Eyes' prodigious appetite for alcohol. Considering his life and times through his drinking is obviously a conceit, but hardly the most fanciful of conceits: there are more than enough stories, legends, anecdotes and facts to be able to make a compelling case that his drinking was an integral part of his character, his lifestyle and (by extension) his creative output. This book further distinguishes itself through functioning as a practical cocktail manual, containing over thirty detailed recipes for preparing and presenting fancy drinks he was known to enjoy himself; as well as providing information on some of Sinatra's own personal drinking lore and some of the traditions he followed or inspired. The story of Frank Sinatra with a twist - combined with cocktail recipes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
