A favorite of mine for a long time.
Glen Gray is a fave of mine. If you spend time hunting on Amazon, they every so often have very good collections for very little money.
For instance, here are 18 Woody Herman songs strung together for only 89 cents.

I’m all for it, if they will bring back American values of the ‘40s.
It’s coming back my local PBS station PBS SO CAL going world premire the latest season of Foyle war
IT deal with Foyle help out BRIT GOVT during the late 1940s and early 1950 “Red Scare”
I love music of the forties. I remember darn near all the words.
Not too long ago there was a radio station in my area with Golden Oldies 24/7. It seems to have gone the way of the one remaining classical FM station in my central Gulf coast area.....gloom.

A major country today even has a totalitarian socialist leader who matches Germany’s leader from the 1940s, so they can relive that part of the experience too.
She just prefers the world of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire to that of Miley Cyrus and Alan Thicke. As a Forensic psychiatric nurse, she probably sees enough of the insanity of the early 21st century to make a commute back to the 1940s desirable.
Greasers are the wrong era.
Never know any of them that had ink, but my gosh they had great cars.
I guess the extension of the above 'logic' would be for her to harken back to better, more principled times of the American Revolution and dress up in long skirts and powdered wigs.
She may be a forensic psych nurse, but that doesn't mean she isn't insane.

I wore corduroy knickers, a dress shirt, socks to just below the knee and slip on loafers. I didn't get long pants (for church) until I had been confirmed into the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.
I'll never forget the gloves. People didn't have much but they managed to look classy. Times have changed, not necessarily for the better. I think the USA peaked somewhere near the end of the 1950's decade and has been in decline ever since.

PS I still like "Big Band" swing.
(+1 means I agree with what you wrote)

I keep a good speaker system on my computer and don’t need a radio, etc.
Sending you a link to my personal station via email.
