The true story of the Frank Sinatra mug shot
In I938, Frank was singing at his first real professional gig at the Rustic Cabin in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, just up the road from the George Washington Bridge. Even at that young age, the other band members reported that Frank was a big attraction to the ladies. One night, so the story goes, Frank was invited out to the parking lot for a "personal encounter." Unfortunately, a policeman tapped on the car window sending the woman into a panic....she started screaming "rape." Frank was arrested, and these photos were taken. The next day, the woman, who was married, dropped the charges. Case dismissed. But, the pictures never went away.

Rick Busciglio will be your guide for a nostalgic tour of American musical favorites. He draws on 45+ years in broadcasting and his lifelong love of music for an entertaining evening. The program is a salute to the music from Broadway, Hollywood, New Orleans, Tin Pan Alley and the "melody makers;" i.e. the bands and singers that brought the music to us via the radio, recordings and live events in the period from the 1920's to the 1960's. This is the golden period of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Larry Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy Van Heusen, Harold Arlen, Harry Warren, etc.
Rick Busciglio is a former broadcast marketing and advertising executive who has combined his life long love of films and music and experience in communications to create a series of mostly nostalgic programs. He does programs primarily in the NJ/NY/PA area and internationally aboard cruise ships. His presentations are designed to be both entertaining and informative. Mr. Busciglio writes two blogs on New Jersey theater and serves on the Board of The Chester Theatre Group in Chester, New Jersey. He recently started his own internet radio series, "The Great American Songbook,” and writes for www.Examiner.com on "Swing and Big Bands” and "Frank Sinatra."
This program is free and open to all. No registration is required.
