Sunday Sinatra ~ The Main Event 1974

Wednesday When It Was Music ~ “Angel Eyes” ~ Frank Sinatra

This performance was recorded in Dallas, October 24, 1987. It was released off the 1995 Sinatra 80th album.

In reality I fell in love with it in 1976 watching The Main Event and prefer that version with the Woody Herman Orchestra. But the sound quality of the versions I found from that TV special on YT were horrific.

No one I know could sing a song in an arena of thousands but make it sound as if it was in a shrunken down saloon as he described in that concert.

Sunday Sinatra ~ “Summer Wind”

Hot 87°F Sunny Beautiful Day In Detroit.

And what better song could best describe it. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Frank Sinatra could make any song shine but he swooned this one out like aged fine wine. Absolutely Bellisimo!

 

JetBlue Pilot Goes Berserk ~ Wild Wednesday ~ Come Fly With Me…… If You Dare.

I don’t think this song was meant to describe the last two dramatic events that has occurred with now both a Pilot and a Stewardess on a plane. It’s a happy upbeat number as the lyrics go.

I mean Sammy Cahn’s third verse of:

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide
Starry-eyed  Terrified
Once I get you up there
I’ll be holding you so near
You may hear
Angels cheer, ’cause we’re together

Didn’t mean,

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
I will start to scream I have a bomb that’s timed
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
You’ll be holding me so near
You may hear,
Say Your Prayers, ’cause I’ve totally lost it

Man Oh Man.

What is going on with these people flying and working on these planes?
