It must have been, for this was a rather enjoyable experience - as these
things go.
Man, there were moments when, if you closed your eyes . . . you'd get
lost!  I mean - you could also hear his dad there.

One of the more touching things, at least to me, took place in the
rehearsal.  The end of the show was a tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes, or as he
says, "my famous parent," and when we kicked into My Way -  well, let's
just say we had to do that section over again so Frank could do his
part.
