"LEAVING ON A JET PLANE" as sung by Frank Sinatra.

Frank Sinatra released SINATRA & COMPANY on the Reprise label in 1971. The album features several bossa nova styled songs recorded for a planned second album with Antonio Carlos Jobim but were used instead as part of this new production. Here, Sinatra sings several hits from new composers such as John Denver, who penned "Leaving On A Jet Plane", a nice tune which was incidentally used briefly on the1996 film THE ROCK where Sean Connery sings to it while taking a shower!


You can listen to the song here:


The song is one of several where Frank makes references to flying and air travel.

Halloween Music!

Halloween is best enjoyed with some appropriate eerie music to set the mood for going out trick-or-treating at night. These are my favorite Halloween music CDs: 







Apparently, Halloween music can be anything that sounds creepy, frightful or which has any mysterious or ominous sounding word on the title, judging from the Halloween playlists on Spotify, iTunes and every other Halloween Hits list.  All in all, Halloween music is always fun and welcome.
