I Met Frank Sinatra’s Pianist Tonight!
Hi Guys,
One of the coolest things about living and playing music in Las Vegas is you never know who is going to show up.
This past weekend I was playing my gig at Zinc Bistro at Lake Las Vegas and I was just getting ready to play my next tune when this well dressed guy walks up to me and asks:
“Where’s your band”?I replied, ” In the Closet”.He said, “What”! I then told him my tracks were on my ipod, plus I am set up so I am wireless and going through the restaraunt house system. (Which is actually pretty good). He just said, WOW! “You sound great kid”. I extended my hand and said my name is Robby LeBlanc and he said my name is Vince Falcone. I excitedly said “I know you, we Met at Ruth’s, the jazz singers service”.
Anyway, here I was, talking with Vince Falcone, Frank Sinatra’s pianist and conductor for 15 years. He is truly a legend in in own right, and a monster piano player!!! He had come in with his entire family. We had a great conversation, I played for about 2 hours and at the end of the night he walked up to me and said, you play great kid! I said maybe we’ll play together someday!
That is one of the great things about Las Vegas, you just never know who is going to show up!
Have a Great Day!
Robby LeBlanc
