where he was inteviewed by Lee Cowan. It was interesting, and part of the segment was at his house where he could play the piano and sing, so I can't imagine anything new or better will come up. I found that he has written songs for Tom Jones, Buddy Holly, and Michael Jackson. But of all the songs he's known for, it's the one he wrote for Old Blue Eyes that still endeavors.

"I grew tall, through it all, and did it my way"

As the story goes, Frank Sinatra told Anka that he was thinking about retiring. And Anka, only 25 at the time, says the lyrics just came to him (I later found it was an English-language lyrical adaptation of the French song Comme d'habitude)

I'm interested in watching James Talarico, but Boebert is a complete turn-off.

But at least his opening and New Rules are usually fun. Thanks for posting!
