The Connecticut (or Hartford or Wicked) Wits were a group of late-18th-century poets who first attempted to write a distinctly American literature. THEY FAILED.

Day #1: Sinatra Centennial Memorabilia Celebration, 2015
Today, 14 May, marks the 17th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's death, and so between today and 12 December, the 100th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's birth, I'll be posting a picture a day of one of the pieces in my collection of Sinatra memorabilia. Some might be worth a little, others not so much.
The purpose of my collection (of both the things I have purchased and the things that have been given to me by friends and family) has always been enjoyment not investment.
I hope you enjoy them, too. And, of course, feel free to share pictures of yours here, as well.
Here's the first piece: a business card holder with a young Frank nattily attired!
