My obsession with Nancy Sinatra started in 1966 when I was 4 years old. My parents bought a copy of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" on 45 and I played it constantly on our portable turntable at home. One of my childhood fantasies was to meet Nancy and hear her sing in person. There was something about the sound of her voice that I found mesmerizing and I've been a fan ever since.
30 years after my introduction to the music of Nancy Sinatra, I was lucky enough to get to see her and Lee Hazlewood perform a concert at a small club in Boston, MA. I also had the unexpected pleasure of meeting Nancy & Lee after the show. They were both as nice in person as I had imagined they might be and they were kind enough to autograph a "Boots" album cover T-shirt I had bought at the show.
Of all the many hundreds of shows I've been to in my life, that was one of the most enjoyable and memorable.
I've got all her albums on vinyl or CD and I agree with you about that Bond theme song, it's also my all-time favorite Bond tune.
