Definitely want to get more into swing if I can only find time, hookup with others via http://www.meetup.com/ , etc - not a...- Cousin Hepcat

Question - Long shot - "Ghost Riders" 1940s radio program
This is a long shot - question: Mom tells me of a favorite memory of around the 1945-1947 time period, all the neighborhood kids would converge at twilight at 8pm to one kid's house whose parents would pull the floor model radio onto the porch & play a radio program (weekly? Nightly?)...- Cousin Hepcat

Sunny Skylar
Never liked the genre except for a few by one guy - ebay search string "(larry vincent,pearl trio)" (from within "records") - a Cary Grant impersonator in voice and timing (most just dumb, but a few hilarious without being overly crude, look for "I Used To Work In Chicago", you can almost hear...- Cousin Hepcat

Cool, more of our "tech generation" realizing value of face-to-face

Speakin' of which, backslid recently & got these on my doorstep last week, among others... .

Great find Major Danger! You've hit the "sweet spot" of the golden era with those. :D Agreed 100%, that's the way to go. - they're easy to find, - sound Great for 78s w/ tube-sounding rich bass, - are cheap (about 5 years ago round here, there was a huge "Califone wall" like bricks, $1...- Cousin Hepcat

The Fedora Lounge Theme Song
Take "those were the days" lyrics and set them to a classic golden era instrumental (which may or may not already have other lyrics) like Miller's "in the mood", Shaw's "begin the beguine", Dorsey's "opus #1". Anyone up to the challenge? we want to hear your MP3 efforts lol Swing High...- Cousin Hepcat

Post-Best-Buy-Syndrome
Best Buy - I don't go there unless I already know what I want and know they have, or will match, the best price. New Technology - having worked developing some of it for last 5 years, I'm pretty cynical about it. There's a lot of stuff they put in there advertised as "great new technology" ...- Cousin Hepcat

I want to start swinging!
Real Henry, that's great, the world can never have enough swing bands. Didn't you used to have to hit those every once in a while to re-fluff the carbon granules when they got packed down to keep it working? lol gotta love the elegantly simple technology though; if I remember right, they were...- Cousin Hepcat
