The best music was from the 40's. 50's pretty good, 60's only fair.

Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Harry James, The Dorsey bands, Lional Hampton, Les Brown, Charlie Barnet, Count Basie, Sammy Kay, Stan Kenton and dozens of others...all big in the 40's.

HEY ARIZONA...you got it, man!

You can Swing & Sway with Sammy Kaye, or you can Stomp & Sweat with Charlie Barnet!

I know I am older than most of you but in my opinion the Big Band era of the 40's was Tops. Don't forget all those wartime love songs either...

I love this song. I was 15yrs old and going out with friends of mine. We went to a friends house that lived in Bristol. It was the day I met the love of my life. 5 yrs later we got married.
