YOU ARE REUNITED WITH THE BOYS NOW, SO GIVE DINO MY LOVE ,OK REST IN PEACE, FRANKIE AND ILL KEEP ON PLAYING YOUR SONGS FOR THE REST TF MY LIFE . The "Chairman" and his board ___God what memories you give us all! the heavens aint the same right now, its gotta be a better place! I am now 72 years old. I remember with awe & great pleasure my meeting Frank Sinatra. He was graciously allowing questions from the various High School newspaper editors. We were so thrilled to be in his presence. I don't think I have had such a thrill again in all my years! Frank Sinatra has always meant to me a special bond that I share with my father. As a child growing up Frank was the constant soundtrack and I learned an appreciation for great vocal music. Despite my interest in whatever was popular at the time and my adolescent rebelliousness Frank was there. When Dad told me to "turn that garbage down" I acquiesced and put on my headphones- only to discover that when I removed them he'd be listening to "The Voice" louder than I would ever play The Who. Sunday morning rituals included Church,breakfast and Sunday with Sinatra. I'd leave to go out on Friday night to the always present Friday with Frank. Long before I ever understood the lyric, as a small child I learned the words to "I'll Be Seeing You." When my father and I had nothing to say to each other we could always find common ground on the topic of Sinatra. And how we could sit and listen... The best was when we got to see him at the Valley Forge Music Fair. My Dad got two sets of tickets and gave my girlfriend and I the better ones even though he had never seen his musical idol. At that point I'd seen most of the great rock shows of that time but I'd never experienced the sense of anticipation and excitement of this show. He walked onto the stage and suspended time. Maybe only 70 minutes-a brief encore by Bruce Springsteen standards-and no encore but why would he need one. He was Sinatra. I've seen hundreds of concerts but none will remain with me as that night did. Thanks Frank .Thanks Dad. I've been a fan for many years. I saw him in concert in NY, NJ, MA, RI and MD and thoroughly enjoyed each one. He was a great entertainer and will be missed by so many people, but we still have his music, which will live on forever. My condolences to the family and for the millions of fans Frank had. Thank you, Mr. Sinatra for touching my life. I listened to your music when I was happy, mourning the loss of my father, loss of my 2 year old daughter and the joy in raising my now 17 year old son. Not to say I did not enjoy with my husband and my own thoughts. With all my love to your family, |
