No, Sinatra wouldn't have used water glasses -- he'd have used those silly little shallow champagne sherbet glasses that were popular during the '50s instead of a more appropriate flute; but he was more a connoisseur of songs and booze than he was of wine. BTW, the rat pack copied its style from Humphrey Bogart, at whose home Sinatra and others played poker before Bogie died. It's Bogie who was the master of cool, not Frank. Kurt is the master of cool today. And yes, Murphy *is* smiling.
.....Kurt , following you from the beginning and even if i believe you are absolutely the GREATEST ever , I have to say only : Frank with the rat pack would 'nt never used those water glasses to drink a Dom Perignon !!!!
Great job guys! Great choice of music, as always. Don Was was and is a cool cat, as you can see. The Gate will elevate those who hear its message of love Sinatra of course is smiling above. How do I know ask a dove.
Know Kurt since years...a musicians musician !!!!!!!

@isivip1 agreed. Almost would've been better to go with plastic disposable glasses. If you're gonna go street might as well go all the way with it.
