Frank Sinatra Jr. Passed away of a heart attack on March 16, 2016.

Frank Sinatra Jr., Son of Legendary Crooner, Dies at 72
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Frank Sinatra Jr., son of legendary singer, dies while on tour at age 72
Frank Sinatra Jr., who carried on his famous father’s legacy with his own music career and whose kidnapping as a young man added a bizarre chapter to his father’s legendary life, died Wednesday. He was 72.

The younger Sinatra died unexpectedly of cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona Beach, Florida, the Sinatra family said in a statement to The Associated Press.

The statement said the family mourns the untimely passing of their son, brother, father and uncle. No other details were provided.

Sinatra Jr. was the son of Sinatra’s first wife, Nancy Barbato Sinatra, and the younger brother of Nancy Sinatra, who had a successful musical career of her own.

Sinatra Jr. grew up watching his father from the wings of the stage, and followed him into music as a teenager, eventually working for the senior Sinatra as his musical director and conductor.

The elder Sinatra died of a heart attack May 14, 1998, at 82.

Sinatra Jr. was able to provide a link to his father’s music after his death, performing his songs and arrangements on tours and especially in Las Vegas.

“Since my father’s death, a lot of people have made it clear that they’re not ready to give up the music,” Sinatra Jr. told the AP in 2002. “For me, it’s a big, fat gift. I get to sing with a big orchestra and get to sing orchestrations that will never be old.”

When Sinatra Jr. was 19 in 1963, three men kidnapped him at gunpoint from a Lake Tahoe hotel. He was returned safely after two days when his family paid $240,000 for his release.

Barry Keenan, a high school friend of Nancy Sinatra, was arrested with the other two suspects, Johnny Irwin and Joe Amsler, and convicted of conspiracy and kidnapping.

Keenan masterminded the kidnapping, prosecutors said. He was sentenced to life plus 75 years in prison, but was declared legally insane at the time of the crime, had his sentence reduced and was paroled in 1968 after serving 4 ½ years.

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and Daughter Jeff Eats “did” a recent lunch at Day Market Kitchen- Mrs. Jeff Eats, and Daughter Jeff Eats loved the joint- Jeff Eats found what to eat- but this “farm fresh ingredients” kinda joint really isn’t my game- Jeff Eats who in another life must have been a long-haul truck-driver- is more into hole in the wall diners/sub joints/cracked linoleum floor greasy spoon “venues”…in a nutshell-if this makes sense to you, Too Millennial-Hipster for this camper!

* Turnsties- The Ultimate Tribute To The Music Of Billy Joel.

If you guys can keep a little secret, Jeff Eats remembers Turnstiles beginnings…back then, just a few short years ago, when Tony the band’s “Billy” (who at the time was the keyboard player of the Shakedown Band) mentioned to me-his plans for a South Florida based Billy Joel tribute band!

Long story short, today- Turnstiles is one of America’s best Billy Joel tribute bands! The band plays all over the United States, usually to Standing Room Only crowds!

If you’re a Billy Joel fan, you gotta go see Turnstiles…

from bocablackbox.com
After years of performing with various original projects and cover bands, Tony decided to form “Stormfront”, his first Billy Joel tribute back in 1993. While Stormfront played to critical aclaim in the New York Area, their career was cut short when Tony decided to relocate to South Florida. Now, some 15 years later, Tony decided to enlist some of the finest musicians in South Florida to join with him to once again pay tribute to the man he has so much respect and admiration for, Billy Joel. Never intending to be an impersonator, his focus instead is simply on the music and delivering a faithful and completely live Billy Joel experience to share with others. Turnstiles’ renditions of Billy’s classic songs are certain to move the casual listener as well as the hard core “Joel fan” to their feet and have them singing along with all the classics!

The Rolling Stones Tribute Night

* The Rolling Stones Tribute Night.

Jeff Eats isn’t going to “name” the Rolling Stones’ tribute band pictured in the below-flyer, nor the Bonita Springs’ venue where the band is performing tomorrow night!

Just curious…

Unless I’m totally missing something here- does it make any sense at all for this- Rolling Stones’ tribute band to use a “look a like” band lineup photo from left to right of…Ron Wood, Broom Hilda, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards to publicize the band? 😧 Jeff Eats has followed The Rolling Stones since Day One- I’ve seen the group live-four times and never, not even once to my knowledge has Broom Hilda ever been a member of the group or performed or recorded with them!

Like I just said, Jeff Eats maybe missing something here- but that photo WTF?

Simple tale to tell you guys, Green River is one of America’s premier Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute bands!

Green River’s recent December 19, 2015- appearance at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Sunset Grill was a “hanging from the rafters” affair- jammed would be putting it mildly! Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats were there and the band was off-the-chart good!

If you’re into Creednce Clearwater Revival- you don’t want to miss Green River!

THE ALL DONUT DIET AGAIN!

* THE All DONUT DIET AGAIN!

I gotta tell you guys that this “internet thing” is a great invention…

To prove Jeff Eats’ point- this morning after eating 3-Krispy Creme Doughnuts (Original Glazed, Double Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon Sugar) with 2-cups of black coffee- I was thinking as to whether or not- this was a “fattening outing”- and low and behold look at this great 2011 article “All DONUT DIET” that I found! Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I already did a 12/8/14 story on the ALL DONUT DIET- but, this morning”s 3- Krispy Kreme Doughnuts convinced me to “repackage” an old Jeff Eats’ tale for you!

image

Just between us, if I “didn’t” have Mrs. Jeff Eats on my ass- and didn’t have to “find” you guys new joints to try- I’d take a shot at this “diet.” Think about it, what’s the worse thing that could happen?

Anyway…before we get to the “diet”- you guys ever wonder why sometimes they’re called donuts and other times they’re called doughnuts?

* ALL DONUT DIET
(weeklyworldnews.com)
By J.B. Smitts on January 2, 2011

MIAMI, FL – Doctors at the University of Miami have discovered the best way to shed pounds in 2011 – eat donuts!

The All Donut Diet was created by nutritionists at the University of Miami. It was designed for people who want to lose weight but don’t want to give up the delicious taste of fried, fatty foods.

“With this diet, you won’t have to give up the foods you love just to lose weight,” said Dr. Raphael Moses, Deputy Chair of the Nutrition Department at the University of Miami. “You can still eat all the chocolate glazed, jelly-filled, sugar-coated donuts you want, without having to worry about things like exercise or healthy foods.”

The All Donut Diet is under the category of an “all you can eat” nutrition system, which means that a dieter can eat as many donuts as he wants, as long as he doesn’t eat any other food and drinks only water.

“Donuts are the perfect diet food,” said Dr. Moses. “They’re almost 65% air, which means there low in calories and won’t clog your arteries. They contain sugar, flour, and oil – all of which come from vegetables products.”

“They’re essentially a well-balanced meal in the shape of tasty, deep-fried circle,” added Dr. Moses.

Dieters on the All Donut Diet must follow a strict eating schedule for twelve weeks. During that time, they won’t consume anything but donuts and water. What kinds of donuts don’t matter, say scientists, as long as the dieter eats more than two dozen a day.

“I lost 50 pounds in three months,” said Julio Ortega, a Miami-based graphic designer and one of the first people to experiment with the All Donut Diet. “It completely changed my life. I used to worry about having to eat all those nasty fruits and vegetables, but now I can eat donuts all day and shed pounds like crazy!”

Nutritionists across the country agree that the All Donut Diet might be one of the best new diet trends of 2011. Even some of the nation’s top celebrities are joining in on the craze.

“If you want to loose some flab in 2011, the All Donut Diet is the way to go,” said Jillian Michaels, the celebrity trainer on NBC’s The Biggest Loser. “Next season, we’re making sure all of our contestants follow it.”

Scientists at the University of Miami say that the All Donut Diet is not for people who want to slowly and steadily over the course of a year. It is only for people who want to lose drastic amounts of weight as quickly as possible.
If you’re going to try the All Donut Diet as part of your New Year’s Resolution, make sure you consult with a health professional before starting.
