12/2/2005 Dear Buddy:
I honestly don't know! Ralph would probably know that answer. That's something I simply don't recall. Daddy may well have been a Sinatra fan, he admired anyone who sang with their heart. If he was, he probably would have just said he was without the need for a closet perhaps. Daddy was pretty plain spoken, you sort of always knew where you stood with him & he told it like it was. I think Sinatra was pretty talented, and frankly I like nearly all styles of music including Frank's these days. I'm finding it increasing difficult to DISLIKE any type music except maybe RAP-please, no comments here. I just can't convince myself that RAP is really music-I seem to prefer something that has a rhythmic sound and melody and you can tap your toes to, or that wakes up your heart. I can't imagine dancing to RAP music but I like classical music, soft rock, bagpipes, Tibetan horns (ie, the movie "Kundune") nearly all spiritual music-most every kind. I thought it was pretty cool when K. D. Lang (right?) sang with Sinatra. He did have a wonderful voice and you gotta give him credit where it's due, don't we. Does anyone here know if Daddy was a Frank Sinatra fan? I'd like to know now that you mention it if any of you do know. I'll try & remember to ask somebody first opportunity I have. Thanks for your interest and input. Keep loving bluegrass & gospel music, it's the best music in the world! Cordially your friend, Doris.
