    It was their time?the time of Pallys in formal wear, who played in public and in private and stoked the dreams of those who wished to be one of them. Or just to be near them. The sounds they made live and swing forever. Their words remind us of what they were to each other, then and always:

    [​IMG] Sinatra! He is awesome. Sometimes I like to listen to the "Singers and Standards" station on Directv. The play a lot the people on your list.
    I would have also included Mel Torme (Velvet Fog, baby!).
    About 2 months ago I was listening to that station and I heard a Frank tune, only it wasn't Frank. It was Barry Manilow. He apparently put together an album containing his versions of Frank Sinatra tunes. It was terrible. I appreciated Frank so much more.

    I'm with Bing! Nothing gets me in a Christmasy mood quicker than his "White Christmas" album. I like Sinatra and the rest, but the whole "Rat Pack" image kind of turned me off -- Bing had better style!
