"You only live once and the way I live it .....once is enough!" Frank Sinatra
Jo King creates an intimate musical atmosphere of laid back, ironic humour with the charismatic charm
of a certain loud mouthed, hedonist from Hoboken, New Jersey ..........Frank Sinatra.
This is Old Blue Eyes at his creative "ring-a-ding ding" peak. The smooth talking, swinging
Sinatra of the 1950's and early 1960's. For you ........ an unforgetable evening's entertainment in
the lounge bar of a casino .....in downtown Las Vegas. A golden opportunity to take it nice 'n' easy
as the luxuriant sounds of the Nelson Riddle orchestra, caress the smoke laden voice of the Pack Master
.......all the way......to.....the wee small hours of the morning.
Tonight Frank will be frank about an extraordinary life fuelled by a passion for beautiful women,
Jack Daniels, and of course .....music.
Live the highs and lows of his tempestuous life, as he croons some of the best loved songs of an era ....
The Lady is a tramp. I got you under my skin. New York New York. My Way. You Make Me Feel So Young.
......but look out fellas! .....the spell he casts as he sings Witchcraft spares none of the female members of
the audience. There ain't no Strangers in the night when Frank flies them to the moon .....
so wadaya waitin' for ....... Lets fall in love.
