I'm pretty good with the old ones. I belonged to a singing group growing up, plus my dad taught me to appreciate big band music. Never heard of anything similar to Barrelhouse.
Beer Barrel Polka...yep... danced to that many times at big Ukranian weddings!
My grampa taught me to appreciate big band music. It took awhile tho. But now i love it. I recently watched an old movie about the life of one of the Big Band Leaders who died in an airplane crash in WWII. What was his name again? Glenn something? I was so sad. Grampa never mentioned that he died in the war. Grampa was in the war. D-Day minus 1! My hero!
