Why stop at the 50’s?

My kids, in their early-mid thirties can identify anything by Glenn Miller and a few other artists from that period.
Glenn Miller - Blueberry Hill (Billboard No.10 1940)
(Several Years Before Fats Domino)
I was born in ‘47 and grew up on Glenn Miller. He was a favorite of my mother’s. Years later I have a lot of music from the Swing Era. I love this music.
Oh yeah...big band is my bag also.... But I do like the "Rat Pack" as well..
I got my niece and nephew interested in the classic rock ‘n’ roll with a silly album by Sha Na Na doing their renditions of some of the old stuff.
My favorite decades are the ‘60s and’ 70s.
