I never understood all the fuss and falderas regarding Frank Sinatra and Hoboken. However as a follower of music I have to admit he is on a very short list of top "Crooner's" of all time. With that said here is some interesting trivia on Frank Sinatra Courtesy of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader:
9 "Acquaintances" of Frank Sinatra with Interesting Nicknames
- Anthony "Tony Batters" Accardo
- Willie "Potatoes" Daddano
- Paul "Skinny" D'Amato
- Charles "Trigger Happy" Fischetti
- Joseph "Joe Fish" Fischetti
- Sam "Momo" Giancana
- Tommy "Three Fingers Brown" Lucchese
- Carlos "Little Big Man" Marcello
- Abner "Longie" Zwillman
Too bad he didn't stay on Hoboken longer, he could have met people in our Municipal Government that have nicknames of their own.
Like Ruben "Three Jobs Ramos"
Perry "Chins" Belfiore
Peter "Robert's Third Term" Cammarano
