Two Degrees Of Separation Between Frank Sinatra And ME

________________________________________________________________________________________________

With appropriate hyperlinks,
I will prove that I am
TWO DEGREES OF SEPARATION
from 
Hoboken's Finest Son
 
  

(1)
In the 1951 film, 
Frank Sinatra is entertained
by a harmonica player
portrayed by
DANNY WELTON
 
 
(2)
 Sixty-two years later
—being 2013—
DANNY WELTON
attended a Sudoku workshop
after the instructor
—initially a disbeliever—
Google-proofed
the harmonicat's cinematic
pairing with
Frank Sinatra
 
However,
Mr. Welton 
completely ignored
the puzzle and 
prattled endlessly
about his harmonica career
having also entertained
Marlon Brando
in
 
The other attendees
at the workshop
were visibly dismayed
by Danny Welton's prattle
 
So the instructor
politely asked Danny
to depart
from the room,
which is what he did
 
Once he was out of earshot,
the Sudokites applauded
their instructor
 
The instructor was
ME

  1. You present proof that DANNY WELTON was featured in a FRANK SINATRA
    film but where is the evidence that Paul Oliverio
    was the "Sudoku Instructor?"

    1. Oliverio thanks you for asking that question
      but he was surprised that his therapist (Dr. Raft)
      did not usurp the comment space to explain
      the veracity of Oliverio's claim:

      The "Sudoku Workshop" was, for many years,
      half of my volunteer work at
      the LB Senior Citizen Center.

      The other half was running their public library.
      That is where I met Danny Welton...

      All of this was pre-covid and my only "volunteer work"
      there presently is kicking serious butt in the game room
      when a Scrabble Game is in front of me.

      In all seriousness, I can (or you can) find five people
      there—staff or otherwise—who will confirm
      all of my claims in the text above
