I'm running this same thread on a blues and jazz site. This morning, I picked a random CD from my jazz selection and came up with Songs For Swinging Lovers by Frank Sinatra. I was sorely tempted to just put it back, but just because I made the rules don't mean I can break them. (I wish they'd learn that in politics.) There was a time when I really enjoyed Sinatra... 1950's when he was doing a lot of classic albums. I haven't listened to any of his albums in at least twenty years. I got seriously exhausted all those years when he tried to coast on his reputation, inserting, "Chicks" "Broads" and Cats" in to the lyrics trying to sound cool. Listening (against my will) to the cd, I see why I originally enjoyed him. He was a consumate interpreter of standards in the 60's, along with Ella Fitzgerald. I still love Ella. She rarely calls women Chicks and guys Cats.

After lunch, I'll pick a folk CD for a change of pace..

Maybe I'll get Blind Willie Johnson..
