SIRIUSly Sinatra

This is a SIRIOUS Satellite Radio Station — devoted solely to the memory of Frank Sinatra — Maybe not solely… maybe 80% of the time I was listening.
I took a week off to see my kids in Las Vegas from Lodi, CA the past week — I usually listen to ESPN Radio, SportsExtra, or one of the half-​dozen Sports related talk shows you find on Sirius. The football season just ended and, quite frankly, there was very little to talk about since Baseball Season is still months away. I began a scan on the SIRIUS Satellite Radio and… lo, and behold… 40s to 50s era music! On my regular car radio while driving, I usually don’t hear that until I get close to Los Angeles.
Took a look at the dial — SIRIUSLY Sinatra… hmm…
SIRIUSLY SInatra is not 100% Frankie, but enough to get you sick of him or enough to satiate your cravings at that moment. There’s quite a bit of Ella (Fitzgerald) and Sammy (Davis, Jr), and not so much Dean (Martin) when the Chairman of the Board is not crooning — and other contemporaries of his when he was at his prime. I’m just glad I did not hear Natalie Cole during my drive to Las Vegas and back.
I heard that SIRIUSLY Sinatra is on DirecTV, which is the Satellite TV service which I use… lemme see if I can find Frank on DirecTV…
My favorite Frank Sinatra single… «Come Dance with Me» coincidentally from his «Come Dance with Me» album (
)… SIRIUS only played it once during my drive…

«Come Dance with Me» lyrics…
Hey there, cutes, put on your dancin’ boots and come dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evenin’ for some terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin’ place, come on dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I’ll be sayin
cause what is dancin’ but makin’ love set to music playin’?
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we walk home cheek to cheek we’ll be
Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Hey there, cutes, put on your Basie boots and come dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evenin’ for some terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin’ place, come on dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor
And while the rhythm swings, what cuckoo things I’ll be sayin’
For what is dancin’ but makin’ love set to music playin’?
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we wing home cheek to cheek we’ll be
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and dance with me
