Come join the Jefferson Arts Committe for an evening of music made famous by the immortal Francis Albert Sinatra -- a man who faced triumph, failure and triumph again throughout his long career as an entertainer. New musical fads and trends may come and go, but somehow the Sinatra show that exploded half a century ago beats on even today.
