As a radio performer who works in front on a microphone, I stood silently at the spot of Frank Sinatra's last stand: a 25,0000 square-foot ballroom at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa in Palm Desert, California. I paid my reverent respects at the sacred spot, which is near a number of homes Sinatra owned over years of 'The Chairman' calling Palm Springs home.No one realized the standards he sang that night at his golf gala in February of 1995 would be the last six songs the aging Sinatra would perform publicly.
