I love when Steyn writes about his true love - Broadway, big bands and show-tunes.

He is excellent!

Dry wit and deep knowledge.

I grew up in the 50's. My mother was a big fan of Glenn Miller's. On one of our trips downtown, she stopped in a store that sold record players and records. She bought the RCA Records Limited Edition boxed collection of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, 45 RPM vinyl records. There are 15 records in the collection....60 songs. Several years ago when my oldest son was working for a record company, he copied the collection onto CD's, and then when cars no longer came with CD Players, I reformatted them to mp3 files.

I've been a fan of Big Band/Swing for a very long time: Benny Goodman, Bob Crosby and his Orchestra, Duke Ellington, etc., along with special collections of Spike Jones, the Andrew Sisters, and music collections from Britain that were popular during the war.
