I'm 86 years young, spent many hours listening to the big bands on my portable radio while collecting newspapers,tires and lard for the war effort. This music will live forever.

@billstokes6740

I'm right there with you. I was born before WW2 , and this music is great. Louie Prima and Kellie Smith had a TV show for a while. Loved his music.
