Next up -- Chicago and New York!

On the next episode of the Detention Club, we will be visiting Chicago and New York, two cities loved by Sinatra and Friends. In fact, whenever he was in Chicago, Frank Sinatra dined at the Twin Anchors in Old Town. My father would see him there occasionally when he would go out on Sunday nights with his family.

This episode is dedicated to  songs featuring Chicago and New York. In fact, some of Sinatra's most recognizable songs are about those two cities!

Also in this episode are songs from Sammy Davis, Jr.,  Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli and Nancy Sinatra.
