Sinatra on Tour at the Airport

I’m sitting in the lobby of the Portland airport and there is a guy dressed in a tuxedo singing Frank Sinatra tunes and other big band favorites to the soundtrack of a full orchestra.

He is talented. In fact, he sounds remarkably like Frank Sinatra. No one applauds. Live music in the airport seems so out of place I suspect travelers think clapping violates some TCA mandate.

Wow, that looks like a pretty airport (if there is such a thing). I agree singing seems out of place as does a Tux. I would't think it much fun. Did he look happy with his job?

Portland does have a nice airport. Although, I still think Washington National is the most beautful airport in the country.

As for the airport singer, he had on a happy face, but I am sure he would rather have been singing somewhere else.
