Today is the legend\u2019s 100th birthday<\/a>. \u00a0It would be remiss of me if I neglected to point it out. \u00a0My Dad was the ultimate Frank Sinatra fan, and I grew up listening to ol\u2019Blue Eye\u2019s music. \u00a0I was always partial to his Columbia years personally. \u00a0Not that listening to him was unusual for me. \u00a0I always had a pretty eclectic taste in music. \u00a0I liked Van Halen and KISS, the Beatles and Beethoven and Big Band, Mozart and Metallica, the Carpenters and Kenny Rogers, Barry Manilow and Bach. And, of course, Frank Sinatra. \u00a0So happy birthday. \u00a0You were the entertainer of the century. \u00a0An institution unto itself. \u00a0You did it your way. \u00a0And even if theologically that is an oft condemned point of view, you can\u2019t help but admire someone who at least admitted it, especially when compared to what you hear today. \u00a0And thanks Dad, for introducing me to a side of the music world that was outside of big hair and smashed guitars. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today is the legend\u2019s 100th birthday. \u00a0It would be remiss of me if I neglected to point it out. \u00a0My Dad was the ultimate Frank Sinatra fan, and I grew up listening to ol\u2019Blue Eye\u2019s music. \u00a0I was always partial to his Columbia years personally. \u00a0Not that listening to him was unusual for me. \u00a0I […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2805,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
