Marion,
I sat here this morning almost with tears in my eyes of nostalgia listening to the great bands and music of the swing era. If ever there was anything to remind us of WW2 it is these sounds as they came through the radio in the 40s and 50s.
Was there ever any thing to equal the music of Major Glenn Miller's AAF band, there are so many of my favourites here. I think I have mentioned before that my dad was a military band leader in WW2, with the Royal Marines dance band the Oceanaires, so I was brought up surrounded by this kind of music.
My thanks to you and especially Russ for providing the link that now lies among my computer bookmarks.
Colin.
