Famed California Entertainers Featured in Casino Sidemen Book
Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dolly Parton, Liberace, The Smothers Brothers, Lawrence Welk, Rowan & Martin, Bill Cosby, Rich Little, Wayne Newton, Jack Benny, Liza Minnelli, Don Rickles.
All these entertainers gained fame performing in California (on TV Shows and at clubs and concert venues.) But what were they really like? You may have loved their music and shows but were they really who you thought they were?
These questions are answered by those who knew them best–showroom musicians–in a stunning new book by longtime music teacher and musician, Patricia Crane, who gives you the “inside scoop.”
You may be shocked or at least surprised by this comprehensive work, which involved years of research and interviews with musicians, conductors, showroom owners, audience members and even the stars themselves.
