The Chairman's Birthday

Rex L. Camino beat me to the punch, but today is Frank Sinatra's birthday. He would have been 90 years old. He is, without a doubt, my favorite personality/singer.

I never got to see Sinatra sing live (being too young to do so), but I did get a chance to see Frank Sinatra Jr. a few months ago in Knoxville doing a tribute to Frank Sinatra. He also had Sinatra's orginal pianist, Bill Miller, playing with the Knoxville Pops.

So...in honor of the Chairman, spin a few of his tunes and have a nice glass of Jack Daniels (his favorite drink).

After all...it's Frank's world. We're just living in it.

Is he smoking a pipe in that first picture?

I know he smoked one for thirty or forty years and even used the same blend (mixture 79) as Hugh Hefner.

No...that's a cigarette. I have that same picture hanging in my living room.
