It’s Frank Sinatra‘s birthday! And because it’s also Christmas time, I thought we could look at the Chairman’s Christmas music; what he actually recorded versus the ton of collections out there. Let me steer you toward what to buy and away from what NOT to buy. Read all about it in this new post.

For the last 25 years, Harry Connick, Jr. has been the premiere purveyor of seasonal sounds. It's no mean feat, adding quality original Christmas songs to the canon but Harry has done it with his five albums of Christmas music. Let's take a look at his contributions in this new article.

One of my most cherished Christmas traditions is reading this wonderful book. From 1959, “Christmas with Ed Sullivan” is a collection of Christmas stories and personal memories from people like Bing Crosby, Jack Benny, Lucy and Desi and others. It is delightful. Read about it in my latest blog post.

New up on the website: it all started with Bing Crosby. But what, in popular music, didn’t? By the late 1940’s, R&B groups were having hits with Christmas music and a sub genre was born. Read about what Irving Berlin called a “profane parody”.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year but some people are still not ready to be inundated with Christmas music. Here’s a fresh playlist designed to get you into the proceedings gradually.

November 22 will mark the 56th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The book “Killing Kennedy” by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard does a good job citing the many enemies JFK made while in office but leaves conspiracy theories up to the reader. Read my review of this book, now up on the website.
