A ‘very good year’ coming for Frank’s fans
A gala — “Mad Men” and Frank Sinatra Dinner and Musical Revue — was held Sept. 9 at Lex 18 Moonshine Bar and Restaurant, 18 Lexington Ave., Asheville.
The 50-some attendees wore attire of the swing era — and some even danced to the music at what was billed as Sinatra’s birthday party, with a salute to his upcoming 100th birthday. Sinatra was born on Dec. 12, 1915, and died on May 14, 1998.
Among the Sinatra songs that were played on piano and crooned by impersonator Dean Vellef was “Fly Me to the Moon,” which was the show opener and closer.
Sandwiched in between were rendtions of “All of You,” “September Song,” “Witchcraft,” “Night and Day,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Our Love Is Here to Stay,” “Triste,” “Wave,” “Autumn Leaves,” “Desafinago,” “Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “The Lady Is a Tramp,” “Watch What Happens” and “It Was a Very Good Year.”
