    Sorry if someone's already posted, but Fred Astaire had a pretty cool voice... Swing High, - C H

    Sources for rare 1940s movies on VHS/DVD/download?

    Thanks greatly folks. I've emailed MDFrench, found several videos I like from that DVD dealer, and will investigate the TCM website more carefully to see if it's possible to set up an email reminder for any future showings of a movie not currently in their posted schedule. [EDIT] Quigley, you...

    Radio Days

    Thanks Daisy for the reccomendation / reminder. Found the "Soundtrack LP" by the Ralph Burns Big Band back in the record hunting days, loved it, and thought the still photos on the cover were Too Cool, but couldn't find the movie in Blockbuster at the time.... totally forgot about it, but now...

    What's your favorite Breakfast Cereal...

    HA, you beat me to it! :) Even brought it with me to work this morning as I occasionally do when the schedule gets tight... Swing High, - C H

    Anyone object to info from your posts being shared?

    Actually, I misspoke when I asked everyone's permission. I was reminded that ownership of information on a website usually reverts to the site's owner. I've PM'ed MK and seeing if we can negotiate for me to share some very basic Golden Era information from posts on the Lounge with local...

    Please don't hate me

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am looking forward to a rewarding career in "B"-rate foreign film re-subtitling. :D That's right, you'd better watch out, the fellas will be beating down your door! lol I really need to convince some local folks to join in on this golden era lifestyle thing...

    This is a really hard one guys

    Deplorable. Was talking about that with coworkers when the story appeared. I read things like that, and say Thank God I was born in the US... Swing High, - C H

    Anyone object to info from your posts being shared?

    Thanks Daisy. To clarify: one might ask "why don't you just point interested folks to the lounge". People I'd be sharing this info with are very non-Internet-forum-type folks. In fact, after briefly trying to talk on Usenet groups in college & being repulsed by the overwhelmingly ugly...

    Anyone object to info from your posts being shared?

    Anyone object to Golden Era lifestyle info taken from your Lounge posts being shared informally with friends with like interests? Info taken from your posts would be anonymous & may be very slightly reworded in "tutorial form". It would not be sold; it would be given to friends of mine...

    What do you look like?

    Wow, everyone looks Awesome. Ditto what Rosie said Fleur De Guerre, very cool specs, keep 'em. I didn't want to post any pics besides the avatar since right now the only vintage stuff I have is music-related (no clothes), but since so many others did... Me autumn before last, far...

    European site

    That's Incredible, thanks Mr. Cohen. Those window displays are like a 3-d rendering of golden era movie posters. Swing High, - C H

    Speaking of the Internet...A Revolution?

    I'd call it an entire new social revolution. On the down side, it allows corporations to increase profits by farming out American IT, software engineering, customer service, etc. jobs to underpaid telecommuting workers in 3rd world countries; but on the up side, it allows people with common...

    A compliment to Keeping Things Cool...

    Cool pics, Big Man! My favorite "cool evening" pic... took this last year from my front lawn (testing out the time exposure settings & tripod :) ) Rosie, I can't see yours, I get the red X. Swing High, - C H

    Taxi Dancers and Jazz Bands

    Sounds like fun! I'm sure lots of us who might not know enough to help you, would be curious to read a little something on both. Can you suggest good intro sources for a basic "what-is"? All I can find for "taxi dancers" on google is basically just the definition you gave. Swing High, - C H

    Keeping things cool

    Electric fan & spray-bottle of water on the face & neck: works wonders when you get home from work for a quick cool down. (My car's AC system was designed for the old Freon, and just doesn't work as good on the new stuff...) Swing High, - C H

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    Well, I was looking through a few boxes and didn't find what I wanted, but did find one I'd forgotten about: a Benny Goodman recording of the same tune "I Want To Be Happy", on the same label, released about the same time as Miller's! I remember thinking "whaddya know" at the time, but don't...
