I would have told him that I appreciated his friendship through the years and that I had learned a lot from him. I really loved Frank like you do a brother.

As far as me knowing if Frank was a genius - in those days, I thought Einstein was the only genius around.

Frank liked administrative work and was good at it.

What a ball from Frank. Frank and I go back years. He used to do that when I was at Ajax.

I learned a lot about what I do with my craft, how I present my music. A lot of things about him were very much an influence on me and everybody else. Once you get in that fold and you're around it, you get to experience something that I don't think we'll ever see again. There will never be anybody like Frank Sinatra. Ever.

We were with Frank as part of his very last tour.

Frank liked me because I went nuts on the piano using feet, head, whatever I could find to bang on the piano.

While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor, he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory.

And I loved Frank Lloyd Wright. I think he was the greatest man I have ever met in my life.
