The day I arrived at JFK to visit my son and his family in Hoboken, NJ, and the day I left. (With my son Ricardo by my side, as always!)

TRAVELING
As June begins, I'm still visiting with my son and his family in Hoboken New Jersey after a three week stay in San Antonio Texas last April with my other four grandchildren. This photo was taken at the TWA Hotel the day I arrived in New York early in May!

FRANK SINATRA'S WORLD
Francis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
So much has been written about Sinatra, it is quite redundant to say anything more here.
His legacy in popular music is well known and his recordings are still heard all over the world in some form or another. Movie makers frequently rely on Frank's recordings to score parts of their films and his presence is felt in other singers' arrangements of classic tunes previously recorded by him.
Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, where he's still regarded as the greatest singer of the 20th Century, which he most certainly is.
His recordings will continue to delight future generations for many years to come.
He was the original pop star.
He invented the Concept Album.
He was a style icon.
His music is constantly rediscovered.
He inspires intense devotion across generations.
But first and foremost, he did it all his way.
Today is his 104th birthday and I will remember Old Blue Eyes by listening to some of his songs, which I enjoy not only on his birthday but all year round!
"It's Frank's world, we just live in it." - Dean Martin, member of Sinatra's legendary Rat Pack.
And have a Merry Sinatra Christmas!
Check out this clip from the Dean Martin show where you can appreciate the camaraderie between them and their joyful approach to the songs.

FRANK SINATRA's first recording!
I am currently a guest in Hoboken, N.J., so I think it's fitting I share this historical recording:
Our Love is the first ever song to be recorded by Frank Sinatra. It is a stock arrangement based on part of Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet. It was recorded with Frank Mane's band, March 18, 1939, at Harry Smith Studio, 3 46th East Street Manhattan
