So Frank Sinatra had to prove himself! <br />I had a boss when I first moved to Oregon who "ba-ba-ba-booed" around the office. He kinda looked like Bing Crosby. He was also a worthless boss!<br /><br />@Jennifer- You like him too, I gather. :) The only cd of his that I have is the one with Ebb Tide. It's a great cd titled: <em>Only The Lonely</em> (I guess it's one of the more favored by critics and fans alike.)<br />(Thanks for the photo update.)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-48754286507684105192009-10-19T20:07:09.752-07:002009-10-19T20:07:09.752-07:00Oh, Frank!

You were either for Frankie or Bing.<br /><br />It took me several years to appreciate Sinatra. He didn't have a powerful voice and was not considered a good singer by the critics for that reason.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-89722796761489826522009-10-19T09:13:42.655-07:002009-10-19T09:13:42.655-07:00The picture and the song are very good.

Your sketch-pad weekend is a beautiful idea...at Yachats, which is a gorgeous place (I'm not familiar with Agate Beach). So glad you are enjoying the tunes!<br /><br />@Looking to the Stars- Thanks! It's good to be back and to have another wonderful comment from you. <br />Be thankful that you never heard Ebb Tide in the organ version!<br /><br />@Nancy- That's funny that at least two parents from Sinatra's era hated him. <br />I took a photo of a simple 3 bedroom/2 bath home for sale just down the street from where I stayed. It's for sale for $1M+...looking over the ocean is the reason because the place wasn't anything spectacular. Still, though, I'd retire there!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-4315693658973882512009-10-18T20:58:24.632-07:002009-10-18T20:58:24.632-07:00I don't remember this song, but my father also...I don't remember this song, but my father also hated Frank Sinatra! <br /><br />Glad you had some walking and thinking and not thinking time.

You may recall my PM to you after you posted the old 'Astoria' postcard. Since the serendipitous discovery of your blog with that post, you've stirred many happy mom-music memories. Kudos on the occasion of your anniversary beach weekend. I plan a similar solitary 'sketch-pad weekend' next month to celebrate my own late mother on her birthday at her favorites in Yachats and Agate Beach.Bon'Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941315279162119759noreply@blogger.com
