Christmas came late and my overhead document scanner turned up! Nothing
super fancy, but boy does it make scanning quick and does nice job of
cropping/realigning, so I’m happy.
Last year I picked up a box of a dozen concert programmes, and just over
150 Perfectly Frank magazines. The magazines are mostly from the
1980s-2010s, however there are 25 or so particularly interesting ones from
way back in the 1950s.
Considering the staples on these are so rusted the pages are dropping off,
a natural place to start with digitalising my Sinatra collection!
I figured some people here may be interested, and if so I’m happy to share
them.
Here’s the link to the very first issue from way back in April 1955 (sorry
too big to attach)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WyT5yiem29kaKD9Gpd1v_71UbY_6TCGC/view?usp=sharing
Highlights include:
- An article Frank wrote for “Hit Parade” published in Feb 1955
- A look at Frank’s potential upcoming film slate (3 of which never
happened)
- Review clipping from the Palladium, 1950
- An article taken from “Liberal News” about Frank’s
anti-discrimination work
- Clippings from the January Australia tour
- Article about Frank’s USO visit to Venice, as told by one of the
Military Police soldiers who escorted him into town
Let me know if there’s interest for me to pass along more issues.
