FRIDAYS ARE FOR FRANK: It’s A Blue World
There has been a lot of discussion about reds and blues in the news recently.
Of course no one sang the blues like Ol’ Blue Eyes.
And when it came to being screwed over, Frank Sinatra could get a little blue with the language…

On that note, here’s Frank Sinatra singing “It’s A Blue World,” a 1940 song written by Chet Forrest and Bob Wright.
