The Artist Entrance and Floyd

Jim Mahoney A Floyd story..... Not too many years ago I was Sinatra’s PR guy and would accompany him on his infrequent “talk show” appearances. We arrived a bit early for a Carson guesting and I suggested we get a shoe shine to kill time. Floyd wasn’t much of a talker but a good listener and a fine shoe shiner. “Floyd” Sinatra asked, “what’s the biggest tip you ever got?” “Hundred dollars” Floyd replied. “who’s the ass hole who did that?” Sinatra asked. “YOU” Mr. S.” Floyd smiled back. A man of few words but many friends.
