I was in San Francisco in Spring and Summer of 1967. The bloom was already coming off by the end of July as a very different element washed through the Haight.

No way. Big bands of the 1930s and 40s. Good music. Clean music. The best music from the greatest generation. I disagree, but perhaps you can post links to some of the best...and win us over.
I'll rise to the challenge. Here's a mixed bag from the '30's and '40's.
- Auch Du Wird Mich Eimal Betrügen (You, too, will betray me some day)--Ilya Livshakoff (with Leo Monosson), 1930
- Montana Call--George Olsen & His Music, 1930
- Dream a Little Dream of Me--Teddy Raph & His Orchestra (with Smith Ballew), 1931
- A Hot Dog, a Blanket and You--Gene Kardos & His Orchestra, 1931
- Stay as Sweet as You Are--Katherine Smith, 1934
- Bahnsteig Vier (Platform #4)--Will Glahe & His Orchestra (with the Rudi Schuricke Trio), 1939
- Beat Me, Daddy, Eight to the Bar--Will Bradley & His Orchestra (1940)
- Dusty Skies--Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, 1941
- Aquarela do Brasil (Water Painting of Brazil)--Ary Barroso & His Orchestra (with Aloysio Oliveira), 1943
- De Zee (The Sea)--Bob Scholte, 1948
- Pjesma Zagrebu (Song of Zagreb)--Zvonomir Krkljus, 1949

I have listened to many peoples’ versions and the 1967 PH is, of course, the best. There are other good versions but without that organ it just doesn’t make it. And too many singers just make another cute cover out of it.

With that list I think maybe your radio has a transistor misfiring.

well bummer. Posted links to “In the Blink of an Eye”, Procol Harum’s song about 9-11, and then another to “Conquistador” circa 1997 which I think is their best version, but they didn’t pass for some reason. Anyway, google ‘em if interested!

Old farts who grew up during the 1940s tell us that there will never be anything greatest than Guy Lombardo and such tripe Many swing band fans of the '40's didn't like Guy Lombardo--they thought he was too sweet and too square. Charlie Barnet did a send-up of Sammy Kaye, Guy Lombardo, and the other "sweet" bands:
The Wrong Idea--Charlie Barnet & His Orchestra (1940)

Though I think the 60's, 70's and 80's were incredible too, I love that stuff...just listening to Glenn Miller's "In the mood."
I'll get back to you tomorrow...thx for all the links.
Can't really compare one to another...they are all wonderful beyond compare!
Amazing how Glenn Miller lifts the mood!

“However, the lyrics dont make sense.”
They don’t make sense because the last two verses of the song were trimmed off to make it short enough for radio play back “in the day”.
Not an uncommon thing back then, as a song had to be short enough to fit on a 45 if you wanted the radio station to play it.
