The Voice of Frank Sinatra (1946). While Sinatra had been recording a number of singles dating back to 1939, this was his first collection of songs. (not counting the collection with Tommy Dorsey in 1944). #Sinatra #music #vintage #OTR #radio #Columbia

Carson Robison and his Pleasant Valley Boys—Square Dances (1946). It was 1968 and my third grade year. Mrs. Orchard LOVED to have her classes do this every year in the talent show. It was the closest I ever got to real dancing. #squaredance #countrymusic #vintage #RCAVictor #dance #country
