Had a lot of different ideas…thought about including the song Bert and I had as our wedding song or the song we claimed as ours when we first dated....but thought better. I'm not going to name them, but let’s just say they mean more to us then they would to anyone else. Bottom line, they really are that scmaltzy and really don't translate well when shared with others!
Best way to avoid schmaltz; hit it straight on with a dose of Frank Sinatra Live!
The song 'The Best is Yet to Come' seemed the perfect fit as we headed on our big adventure and the next chapter in our married life.
Over the last few years I've come to fully appreciate Frank's suave style, impeccable delivery and interpretation of songs. I've taken some time to really listen to his older material, a lot from my dad's collection. What I've discovered is it's like tasting a big full bodied wine for the first time. At first the sensation may seem to bold, to vintage. But the more you sip, the more you want. You begin to feel the effects of what a big wine that is well-aged can deliver…soft tannins, warm and weighty on the palette and one heck of a smooth finish. That's Sinatra. Franks ability to take any song, make it his own and make it speak directly to the listener is a rare thing. I'm hooked and man I can't get enough. My dad would be so proud!
