We Did It Our Way

We really did. We went and heard a concert by a Frank Sinatra sing-alike. I'm not a Sinatra fan, but when our symphony trio deal was made, we had to choose one pops concert. This was the only one that worked out between our schedule and our cohorts in this adventure. So we went. Spouse and the other couple were happy with Sinatra.

I did not grow up listening to him nor did I ever really pay attention to him. That's why I was shocked at how I "knew" or was very familiar with almost every song in the concert. How much Mr. Sinatra is part of our American culture ... even to me. It was amazing.

The guy really can sing just like the legend. Does he sometimes think he is Sinatra, l wonder? Anyway it was a good evening. The other snippets of old TV theme songs strung together and a "southern comfort" medley played by the orchestra were great fun to listen to, not to mention watching the antics of a lively conductor.

There is a bustling, wakening night life in our growing city. The basketball game had just let out and the bars were busy. Quite a contrast from the days we would walk uptown with our small boys and be almost alone on the streets. It was fun to be a walking part of it for a brief time. Wowsie it was late ..11ish. We're getting old or what?
