Today We Celebrate An Extraordinary Life

Today marks the anniversary of Frank Sinatra's birth. Celebrations are happening in the town of his nativity, in New York City and all over the world.

Special observances are happening online and on the radio too.

An exclusive video has been made available on the Official Website. It's from a performance at Carnegie Hall on June 25th, 1980. Members are also sharing their own remembrances on the forums there.

Sirius Satellite Radio's Siriusly Sinatra channel is playing his music all day as well.

In our household, we'll be listening to Sirius and to Sinatra's Christmas albums, and will watch some Sinatra movies this evening.

I hope that wherever you are, you'll be joining the celebration in your own way.

Episode 127: Room For A Stranger

Kicking things off for the Holiday Season of 2009, this week on The Frank Truth Sinatra Podcast we've got a Hallmark Christmas special originally broadcast on the CBS Radio Network on December 19th, 1946. The program stars Frank Sinatra as Lieutenant Joel Scott in Room For A Stranger.
