Patricia,
I am glad you came back to visit with us. I do agree, we had the best music in the '40's, 50's, and 60's era (including some from the 70's and 80's). As a young lad, I grew up listening to old '78 records of my folks and developed an appreciation for Big Band music. Music by Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller, and Benny Goodman to name a few. I firmly beleive we should continue listening to music we enjoyed during the formative years of our youth.
Classmates, do you have any special requests for songs to be played here? You can post songs that are your favorites! We could tally up the most posts for the Top Ten!!
One of my all time favorites from 1940 was Benny Goodman Orchestra performing hot jazz in "Sing, Sing, Sing" Head liners include Harry James (trumpet) and Gene Krupa (drums). Go get 'em Gene!
