Pearce’s Picks: Ronnie Deauville


Browsing through my Apple Music account in the last few days brought forth the revelation of an album that I had long forgotten about, and wrongly so. I had first heard of the name Ronnie Deauville through a fellow standard lover’s list of favorite singers in early 2012, and after entering the name in iTunes, I could find only one album, the wistful “Smoke Dreams,” credited to his name. Though his short recording career would only consist of a number of big band singles as well as two full LP albums throughout the 1950s, Deauville’s career is notable both for the challenging and inspiring story that accompanied it, as well as the voice of the vocalist, a deep, rich baritone that seemed to be crafted out of pure silk.

What The Heck Misty Beck? Donald J. Trump Must Be Stopped!


Donald J. Trump was born on June 14, 1946. He’s a lot of things including, a business man, author, television personality, and Lord help us Republican nominee for President of the United States. His Wiki says he was born and raised in the borough of Queens in New York. Strange he grew up in such a wonderful diverse state and became the racist sociopath he’s become. He worked for his father’s real estate firm once he graduated from Wharton a prestigious Ivy league school in Pennsylvania in 1968. He then took over the family business in 1971 and the making of a real estate mogul began.
Reading about his early life and business ventures which I never cared to do leaves no doubt that he is clever and knows how to do business to his advantage. His advantage being the key word folks. It also appears that he was raised in a hardworking household and that his father paved a very successful path for his future.

The Sinatra File: Live From The Copa Room


“How could they do a thing like that?”—Frank Sinatra
That was the question that a puzzled, retired Frank Sinatra posed to his guests when word came in 1996 that the famous Sands Hotel and Casino was about to be closed and demolished. Comedian Jerry Lewis was among those conversing with his host and longtime friend when the fate of the classic Las Vegas property subsequently entered the conversation. Sinatra was hurt by the news, personally affronted by the thought of the once glitzy playground becoming nonexistent. Looking back on it now, nearly twenty years after demolition crews reduced the iconic building to a pile of dust and debris, one could almost identify with Sinatra’s feelings.
