My old man was mates with a guy that worked for Frank Sinatra.
He looked after his grounds at his house in Beverly Hills.
After Frank passed, he moved back to the UK, and I got to know him quite well, he bought a house next door to us. Coincidentally, his son played drums in bob geldoffs band, post boomtown rats.
Anyway, he gave me a napkin, white cotton, embroidered with "Nancy and ol' blue eyes" in blue stitching, which he'd been given by Frank.
It's in my loft somewhere.
Not very interesting, granted.

Thats not that unusual to be fair in terms of swapping the dominant hand. I originally started playing piano and when I first started playing guitar, I found it a lot easier left handed than I did right.
