I once had a meeting with a billionaire and I was surprised at how badly he dressed..sloppy clothes, food stains and crappy shoes. I walked in wearing an Italian suit and a Rolex on my wrist. It struck me as hilarious that I looked like the billionaire and he looked like the pauper. That said I will take my style over his every day. www.cocktailnation.net John Neal and His Orchestra-Blue Martini Jackie Gleason-Blue Velvet Chet Baker - Blue Thoughts Marty Paich Trio- Dusk Light Phineas_Newborn~Love And Marriage Dexter Gordon-Stairway To The Stars Helen Merrill-Soft As Spring Astrud Gilberto-The Shadow Of Your Smile Anne Phillips-A Stranger In Town jazz Vibes-Lionel's Blues Miles Davis-Blue In Green James Spencer-Here's That Rainy Day From Carnival In Flanders Henry Mancini- Blue Mantilla Julie London- I Got Lost In His Arms

Yes Adelaide I am looking at you...While Adelaide isn't the "murder capital" in a literal sense, it has gained a reputation for being one due to a few high-profile cases, including the Snowtown murders and the Truro murders. These cases have contributed to a perception of the city as a place with a high murder rate. It's probably not true that it's dangerous ..but no offence I won't be going there any time soon!
