Oldies but Goodies - 1940's

Love me some Glenn Miller and wine in the Adirondack chair on the back porch on a hot summer night!

I have a pandora station that started with Glenn Miller & now has all kinds of good stuff like the Andrews Sisters and Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and then I found Vera Lynn...

Love her. When I heard her I loved her, then when I saw her I loved her even more, she looks so familiar to me.

Then I found out she's still singing...

This is the kind of talent the world needs today.

Wow, she's 98 - how cool is that?!

Yeah, I love big band music. I played trumpet for several years when I was younger, and I like big band, swing, jazz, and I played a lot of Sousa marches too.

That's one of her best known songs if you haven't heard it. I think my other fascination with 40s music was its support of the troops.

Thanks for posting that Indigo, that is a great song.

You can't go wrong with Glenn Miller.

My wife played clarinet and both my boys played alto sax.

Cool. I really enjoyed that part of school, and it was a good break from "regular" classes. It's sad that I keep hearing that band and music classes get cut from school programs.

I begrudgingly played the piano for 5 years. Never amounted to much, wasn't my dream. I dabbled in acoustic guitar & mandolin. Mandolin was more my style.
