Subscription is free and the newsletter is available here.

As an added 'extra', here is a 'soundboard' recording of the the first of six concerts Sinatra gave in support of Hubert Humphrey's run for office in 1968. The concert took place at The Oakland Arena on 22 May, 1968 and features, among its selections, Billy May's arrangement of All I Need Is The Girl from the Francis A and Edward K album, sadly with neither Edward K nor his Orchestra... (the ensemble being conducted by Sinatra's long-time pianist and ex-Charlie Barnet man, Bill Miller)
