They're Frank's Cookies, We Just Eat Them

On occasion I like to bake chocolate chip cookies. Well, to be more honest, I don't necessarily enjoy baking all that much but I do enjoy the end product and the accompanying accolades. (I must admit, they are good cookies.) As with many other things in life, a good soundtrack heightens the pleasure of the cookie making experience. Over the years I've baked whilst listening to a variety of music by a variety of artists. Judas Priest is a little too harsh, John Coltrane a little too free form, Neil Young a little too mellow, except, perhaps for parts of Rust Never Sleeps, but, again, that might be a little harsh for the cookie groove. Frank Sinatra seems to work best, particularly A Swingin' Affair, with such hits as "Night and Day" and "Stars Fell on Alabama." Never a bad batch of cookies is baked with Frank singing in the living room.
