In Chinese, it means: 不鸣则已,一鸣惊人. A bird can sing beautiful song but we don't know. once she opens mouth, it would be amazing. For human, one guy with endowment and also works hard, but we didn't realise. He will make us surpise once he comes out.

i can download it for free. and it takes up no space in my house. and i can carry it in my iPod. so i would say that selling it would be hard, when other options are so much more convenient. if you want to pay the shipping costs, you can send it to me, and i will store it with other 45's for a small monthly fee.

Yes, they were close friends until Dean died in 1995. Although they had had a brief falling out in 1988 when Dean dropped out of the Together Again tour with Frank and Sammy, there were no long-lasting hard feelings. Both Frank and Dean, as well as the people closest to them, have denied that there was any feud and confirmed that they remained friends. Sinatra, although himself in failing health, would always visit Dean for his birthday, and would phone him frequently to reminisce about the old times, right up to the day before Dean passed away.
They thought of each other as brothers, which is how Frank described Dean on his passing. Frank wanted to attend Dean's memorial, but was too overcome with grief and didn't want to be seen breaking down in public, so his wife Barbara went in his stead.
Frank Sinatra was arrested twice and placed in jail overnight. In 1938, he seduced a woman (illegal in Bergen County, NJ in 1938). In 1947, in Los Angeles, CA, he punched a journalist (Lee Mortimer).

Sinatra never finished high school , but, I think much of this story is legend. If it is true at all I suspect it was for truancy. Sinatra kidded about it in a funny monolouge in his "Sinatra at the Sands" performance claiming the principal called his father in saying "get him out".
