The Chairman

Yes, my latest male admirer has the deepest of blue eyes, and is a Lynx point Siamese. Cat, that is. I help out a local shelter once a week and Sinatra is my newest charge. He’ll be gone to a good home by next week but we got to meet and he was lovely, a gentleman and a flirt. I’m married, but we went nose to nose before I would have with any man… other than Sinatra.

While others were into rock and roll I loved Frank Sinatra. He never wrote his tunes but learned to get the best to write and arrange them. And Tommy Dorsey taught him how to breathe. Most of my music icons write their own music and play at least one musical instrument but Frank was a classic.

What can I say that on my parents’ mono record player I heard a lot of classical music, Mantovani, Sing Along With Mitch, and Frank. Frank caught my ear, and stayed with me for a lifetime. Shortly before he died, my parents took me to Carnegie Hall to see him in concert, a gift that will be appreciated always. Cheers, Dee
