The Beard's Forum, The GosPool According to the Beard

This is me, Freddy the Beard posting my own blog. With the help of my son, Dino Bentivegna, who put this blog together for me, I will be pontificating on the sociopathic, political, and philosophical views I garnered and honed during my 50 years in the underworld. Also I will talk about pool, and periodically snitch off some secret tid-bits. Let's just see where we go with this. Please sign in at upper rt. corner of this page, or register with google.

This version of the Duke Ellington classic is the one I and some others prefer, even over the more widely recognized one that made Ella Fitzgerald famous.
