Here's the album, "September of My Years," with Sinatra backed up by Jenkins. I should search through the records from my father to see if I have that. I haven't chosen the record for Part 4 of the Records From My Father series, but after my ordeal with "Manhattan Tower," I was thinking of picking something by Sinatra.
