Welcome to a post-coma edition of Mark Steyn on the Town. On today's brand new show, Mark plays a diverse range of musical artistes from Johnny Mercer to Cliff Richard, Al Jolson to the Smiths. In between we take a look at Frank Sinatra from the point of view of his longtime opening act, the late Tom Dreesen (see picture above), and we wish a happy hundredth birthday to hit songwriter Phil Springer.

Mark will return tomorrow with a health-related Song of the Week.
