    What Record Are You Hearing Now?

    Normally I'm a Rock and Roll guy, but stumbled across some old pristine vinyl from the 1940's in a thrift store find that is just too cool to listen to. The Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra Sessions Vol 1. What a DIFFERENCE between the young and old Frank's voice. Smooooooth like butter!
