Frank Zappa (1940–93), rock musician
What I listened to on my summer vacation. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Louie Armstrong all have summer carefree songs in their oeuvre, and to me they denote tranquil lazy hammock-resting days, if only I had a hammock, but the couch works or just sitting on the patio.My summer CD includes:
Summer Wind (Frank Sinatra)
Nice ‘N’ Easy (Frank Sinatra)
The Good Life (Frank Sinatra)
The Way You Look Tonight (Frank Sinatra)
That’s Amore (Dean Martin)
Ain’t that a Kick in the Head (Dean Martin)
On The Sunny Side of the Street (Dean Martin)
What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
That Sunday, That Summer (Nat King Cole)

Mr. AL -
The Misanthrope is on vacation right now, and may not be able to respond to your question. That being the case, I'm sure he would recommend those albums, as they're what he's listenting to these days. Good luck with the meeting.
P.S. Tex-Asian?
Andrea, let me know how your lunch goes. I would most certainly recommend some of those songs to get the place swinging. Tell me more about your singing.
