Loyd's BONUS video-clip!!--- # 29!!-- 'An EARLY birthday gift, OR... an EXTREMELY early Christmas present?'

 ATTENTION: to ALL of  those 'long-lost' relatives out there, with EXTREMELY deep pockets, or just you folks who MAY be feeling in an EXTRA-generous mood! Here's yet ANOTHER ridiculously EXPENSIVE item I'll probably NEVER buy! (BUT--- it would sure be nice to find either next to my B-day cake this year, or under the tree NEXT Christmas!) Hey, I can daydream, can't I?--- (oh, and yes---- this bad boy is LIFE-SIZE!)---

Loyd's BONUS AUDIO goodies!!-- # 6-- 6 faves from 'Ol Blue Eyes!

Sooner or later, here at the 'Loydster-bloggie-thang', (especially in THESE posts, where I'm throwing up favorite tunes, from my favorite artists!) I just HAD to share my love for the one, the ONLY-- Mister Frank Sinatra!

My favorite tunes from 'Ol Blue Eyes, are pretty much (mostly) from the mid-50s, through the 60s. That seems to be the time that, not ONLY was that wonderful VOCAL instrument of his in FINE form AND hitting on ALL of it's cylinders, but the musical arrangements and orchestras that backed him, were TOP-NOTCH too!

I know that some Sinatra fans prefer his earlier stuff, and yes, the voice WAS smoother in that earlier period. But--- there's a 'grit' and a little 'weathering-life's-storms' edge to the vocal instrument in these later songs. Just part of what I SO dig about this man and his music!

Like previous times here, picking JUST a handful of favorites from Mr. Sinatra was TOUGH! (There's just SO MUCH great stuff!) But--- once again, I went back to the idea of : 'If I were stranded on a desert island, and my MP3 player was STUCK on JUST 6 Sinatra songs--- WHAT ones would I NOT mind hearing, OVER and OVER?' These are the ones that I'd NEVER get tired of!---

Loyd's BONUS video-clip(s)!!--- #28!!-- Classic 'T-bird' commercials!

Once again, some vintage ads, for one of my favorite vintage / classic vehicles! In the three body-styles I DIG the MOSTEST! The Ford Thunderbird! They just don't make'em like THIS anymore,gang! (The car, OR the commercials!)---
