Happy Birthday Nancy!

...one of my favorite pictures of Nancy, from the One More Time album cover.

She remains a great performer, a tireless champion of veterans causes, and a fierce guardian of her father's legacy. God bless you, Nancy!

Nice boots, by the way.

Episode 119: The House I Live In 1945 Radio Special

This week on The Frank Truth Sinatra Podcast, we've got a radio special from September 19th, 1945 with Frank Sinatra presenting The House I Live In. You may recall having seen a video of Sinatra's Academy Award winning short film with the same title on this program last April.

Here's the MP3 for download, or you can subscribe to the show for free at the iTunes Frank Truth page.

I hope that this audio version is as much of a pleasure for you as it is for me, and that it will give all of us something to ponder as we observe the Memorial Holiday.

I believe that Frank Sinatra would be very proud, in some ways, of the progress we have made on issues of tolerance and equality over the years. I also believe that he would still be speaking his mind on the matter and advocating in the same fashion as always were he still with us.

In a way, I suppose that he is.

A Couple Sinatra Fans

We finally had the opportunity to meet up with Doug and Nancy Barber in Indianapolis this weekend. It was a wonderful afternoon of friendship, excellent food and great conversation.
