Notes By Sinatra
“From the liner notes for Saloon Songs (from the spoken intro to the saloon songs trilogy at Carnegie Hall on April 8, 1984):
I've prided myself through these years, a few, seven or eight, in being identified as a saloon singer ... I have worked in a lot of saloons, and consequently you usually do a saloon song, so to speak. You know in the old days they had 'Ace In The Hole' and 'Jack Of Diamonds' and whatever those things were. Then we came up to date with songs like 'One For My Baby' and beautiful things like that. So I would like to do a trilogy of saloon songs for you. These all tell of unrequited love obviously, where the chick has flown the coop and she not only took the bread, but she took the grass and everything that was layin' around the kitchen. So we are now about to view a cat who's been livin' it up all by himself for some time. He's consumed a substantial amount of John Barleycorn, and one morning he wakes and he decides that he's goin' to go out among us and see if he can get back into the mainstream again. And he falls into a small saloon and proceeds to tell his story to the bartender.”
