Coming Soon - The Frank Sinatra Detention Club

This show has been 28 years in the making. When I first started teaching, I created the Frank Sinatra Detention Club and played "Ol' Blue Eyes" to students when I had to give them a detention. This was not punishment, but a way to make detention more enjoyable for me and perhaps get some kids to appreciate the music of this American legend.

Now, The Frank Sinatra Detention Club is coming to Vinyl Voyage Radio. This show, streaming live every week starting October 7, will feature nearly two hours of music from Frank Sinatra and Friends. It will also include trivia, movie clips and "Extra Credit Frank Sinatra Questions" - the same ones I have been putting on all on my tests for the last 28 years!

Check out the official Frank Sinatra Detention Club website.

Song of the Week - "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra

Last week we listened to "Don't Let the Sun Catch you Cryin'" by Gerry and the Pacemakers. I wasn't planning on staying in the 60s this week, but I finally stumbled upon a nice copy of this record in my favorite used record store. Nancy Sinatra released her debut album Boots in 1966. And here is her hit song, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."

Listen to the Song of the Week every Wednesday at 10am and 10pm, Central.  Watch the video below, featuring the original video made by Nancy Sinatra for video-jukeboxes. 

Vinyl Voyage Radio Song of the Week - "Cycles" by Frank Sinatra

Just this week, Frank Sinatra's widow, Barbara Marx Sinatra, died at the age of 90.  So this week, we are dusting off a relatively unknown Frank Sinatra album from 1968.

The song is "Cycles," perhaps one of the greatest Sinatra songs of all time. This song truly highlights Sinatra's ability to interpret lyrics.

The Song of the Week can be heard on Wednesdays, 10am and 10pm, Central (-5 GMT) and throughout the week.

Listen to the song now, played on glorious vinyl.
