Liverpool, England c.1960. I love that Mersey Sound and would be playing drums with the likes of the Searchers, the Pacemakers, the Mojos and the Mersey Beats!

Since it came up in a discussion in another thread (EMPEROR!), I decided to sit through fourteen ten minute segments on YouTube of the movie 'Inchon' starring Laurence Olivier. I was told that I shouldn't and that I probably couldn't - but I did! Now I can say that I've seen it - it is a rare...

Lizzie, you are a veritable fount of historical information! I'm curious about Glenn Miller's popularity during the war years though. His "swing" band toured and played for the troops as late as 1944. Was this just an anomaly due to his reputation and popularity, or with the troops, was Swing...
