關於我： Think of Palm Springs as a cocktail: Mix one part Rat Pack glamour, a shot of desert beauty, fill to the top of the glass with balmy days, and stir up paradise baby! The town's main appeal is its innovative, mid-century architecture, so take a spin around to admire the works of Albert Frey, Donald Wexler and Richard Neutra. Start at Frey's outlandish Tramway Gas Station (2901 North Palm Canyon), which has been restored as an art gallery and visitor center. Here, pick up a driving tour map that will show you the way to the town's architectural gems. Dine on steaks and pasta platters at classy, traditional Melvyn's Restaurant, a known Sinatra hangout and enduring celebrity magnet.
Before leaving town, drive by Sinatra's swanky pleasure pad, Twin Palms, where he and Ava Gardner swooned and sparred. It's on East Twin Palms Drive, just a mile from downtown. Maybe I'll see ya there!

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
