100 Years of Frank Sinatra: "This Love of Mine"
This is the third song performed by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra with Frank Sinatra to be included in PopularSong.org;s top 40 pop hits for the year 1941. It's ranked at #39.
A pleasant enough ballad, with old-fashioned trappings. Fortunately, this isn't where Frank Sinatra chose to hang around.
Music by Sol Parker, lyrics by Sinatra and Hank Sanicola.
Wonder how these beauties, dressed in their Sunday best, reacted to Sinatra's quickly rising fame in 1941?

Reporters at Scott Walker, Rudy Giuliani event didn't know it would be off the record. (Capital Times, 2/19/2015)
Walker did not take questions from reporters.
The event was sponsored by billionaire supermarket owner John Catsimatidis and hosted by economists Kudlow, Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore. That group hosted a similar dinner at the same venue in January, featuring Texas Gov. Rick Perry. At that dinner, former New York Gov. George Pataki also hinted at a 2016 run. There were no reports of any portion of Perry's comments being off the record at the January dinner.
Save yourself a trip, Lindsey
Lindsey Graham dips toe in Iowa's presidential waters. (Des Moines Register, 2/19/2015)
Republican Lindsey Graham, a 12-year U.S. senator from South Carolina, is returning to Iowa today as he investigates how interested people are in seeing him run for president.
How much interest is there?
Little to none, I'd say.

The Comedy Value of a Lindsey Graham Presidential Bid. (The American Conservative, 1/19/2015)
The idea of Graham running for president is inherently silly, and it probably won’t amount to much, but for my part I hope he goes through with it. I assume that the purpose of a quixotic Graham campaign would be to promote his toxic cocktail of hard-line foreign policy and “centrist” immigration views.
