Bravo!

I have a brand new appreciation for Frank Sinatra's catalog after listening to Sinatra Matters. Michael Fenenbock is an awesome story teller and has a wonderful way of educating his listeners and taking them on a music and historical journey from another time period. For any Frank Sinatra fan, this podcast is a true gem. I also enjoy listening to Michael's voice as he carries a passionate and nostalgic vibe that resonates with me. I cannot wait to hear the backstory on Fly Me To The Moon. Looking forward to more episodes!
