who doesn’t wanna hear Frank?
Franky baby! Leader of the pack! Ol’ blue eyes! C’mon, now… And yet I just came across a video from 1956 - Frank singing “Fly Me to the Moon,” which is just a great song, and the other human in my house refused to hear it. Hell, I wasn’t even close to being born in 1956 (being busy with celestial tasks, perhaps) but I have this spot deep in my heart that is Frank Sinatra-shaped.
He’s maybe not everyone’s favorite, but he’s Frank! The link is here. Poke around there and listen to “Under My Skin.” You’ll find tunes by Etta James, Fred Astaire.. all the greats.
I don’t understand how someone could say, “Um, no, actually. I’m not that fond of him,” in response to my saying (okay, maybe yelping), “Oh! I just found one of my favorite Frank S. songs! Wanna hear it?!” I watch stOOpid golf on TV. What would one Frank song hurt? I could have asked him to listen to a Tex & the Horseheads song! Now that woulda upset the lad. I get a scowl when I wear my now antique DK’s tee shirt. So compared to those folks, Frank should be a joy.
Hmph. Who doesn’t wanna hear Frank?

I give this post an “E” for…Eclectic.
Frank Sinatra and Texacala Jones…now that’s a duet. “Oh Mother,” could you imagine “Somthin’ Stupid” their way?
Give me some furious Frank like “The Best is Yet to Come,” “Summer Wind,” and anything with Jobim.
