Fly me to the Moon at Shiny Moon Beams

Frank Sinatra’s fly me to the moon goes perfectly with the title of my site, Shiny Moon Beams. I just love Frank Sinatra also known as Ol’ Blue Eyes, my husband says he prefers Dean Martin.

I really enjoy listening to oldies but goodies. I downloaded this tune from itunes for our trip to Oregon this past September. I never really thought I would want to listen to old music, but I really love it. I also downloaded The Andrew Sisters(Boogie Woogie Boogle Boy), Benny Goodmen (It’s Only a Paper Moon), Count Basie (Blue Skies) and more songs from Frank Sinatra and even the Everly Brothers, Cathy’s Clown and All I have to do is Dream. They just don’t make music like this anymore! I remember my parents playing some of this when I was just knee high to a grasshopper.

It was so funny because this past weekend I was talking to my son Shane and he told me he to loved this song. Who knew!?

Frank Sinatra recorded the song on his album in 1964 “It Might as Well Be Swing” accompanied by Count Basie. In 1966 Frank Sinatra performed the song with Basie on “Sinatra at the Sands”… his final recording of “Fly Me to the Moon” was in 1969 in collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim. He then again performed the song in his 1969 show “Sinatra”, there he dedicated the song to the Apollo astronauts “.

In another words have a great evening!
