ONCE IN A WHILE ~ Frances Langford 1937

Never forget.....Bob Hope, Francis Langford, and the wonderful entertainers who put their lives at risk to fly often in dangerous conditions, to entertain the troops longing for a taste of home during the 2nd World war

Bunny Berigan - Blue Moon (1934)

Listening to Bunny Berrigan on Satellite radio the other day, I heard the sounds of Artie Shaw and Billy May...each musician lends an aspect of himself to the future. Bunny Berrigan was a jazz great, that I am sure influenced these others, listen to his style the horn that lets the sound linger
