The Boxpress Music Time Show with Brian Hughes

Show# 16: Celebrating Frank Sinatra's 93rd Birthday: "Suicidal Sinatra - Part II"

Brian helps celebrate Frank Sinatra's birthday by concentrating on the singer's bipolar musical nature: Sinatra always considered himself a manic depressive, so why not concentrate on the extreme lows and exuberant highs of Ol' Blue Eyes? In the first two parts of this four part series, Brian will concentrate on the "saloon" or sad songs of Frank's repertoire. In the final two parts - the high flying, fast paced, world-on-a-string swing numbers.

I am really ready for the swinging Sinatra. This one hit me pretty hard at one point. I was like "what the hell is going on?". I felt it, man. he's got the power. Felt the flood comin'. and i'm a generally happy guy. Let's move on.

I'm going to jump to the swingin' stuff on the next two episodes. You're brave to have gone through it without murdering yourself. Proud of ya!
