Duncan, I am sorry I am not quite cool enough to remember that it is now spelled KEWL!!! Thank you for reminding me of my essential nerdiness or something. Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco, and that is just fine with me, because I enjoy his music more than Frank Sinatra's. I also like Andy Williams a LOT more than Sinatra. In fact, to me Sinatra was really sleazy. I don't like the Mafia much (although I'll take them anytime over South American cocaine dealers), and I think Sinatra made the Mob seem glamorous in Washington in the 1960's, which did not do our country much good. I honestly tried to watch a little bit of the 1981 Sinatra concert that is playing on PBS tonight with an open mind, to try to understand what it is I am missing, and I am still clueless. My husband turned it way up, and spent a lot of time tinkering with the surround sound, to get it perfect or something, until finally my daughter and I started giggling uncontrollably and had to leave during the second song. We are almost sure he did it on purpose, so he could have a funky evening by himself watching Cops or something sleazy as soon as we went upstairs. I guess to people in the generation that included my parents, Frank was extremely popular. I remember him singing in the background when my mother did housework when I was a tiny child. But his style, and all of that big band music, just seem like nothing to me, somehow.
