  • 66 The Last Dance
    Oct 21 2024

    All good things come to an end and this is “The Last Dance” for my Sinatra Matters podcast.

    But I’m beginning a new adventure on Substack – “Sinatra Matters and More.” I’ll be writing, about Frank Sinatra and offering my personal, sometimes idiosyncratic, interpretations of musicians, favorite singers, songs, albums and classic jazz. I’ll be including a YouTube link to the songs.

    Substack. “Sinatra Matters & More.” Join me. Subscribe to be notified of new posts. It’s free.

    Well, that’s it for now. I do hope that you’ll come along for the ride.

    Until then.
