[TPIN] TPIN: Frank Sinatra, Jr.

[Michael Anderson]

I was fortunate enough to play with Jr's band on New Year's Eve about 8
years ago I believe. I sat right next to Walt and had a wonderful time. It
was one of the greatest gigs of my life. The charts were fantastic and Walt
and the drummer just laid it down so perfectly. They brought 5-6 guys from
his normal band and then filled in with local players and strings. Almost
all the charts were from Dad's book. What a thrill it was.

Jr. sounds just like Sr. at times and its scary good. Enjoy that show!
