I'm a fan of WWII music, and the Big Bands. Very familiar with Vera Lynn.

Peggy Lee's "Waitin' for the Train to Come In is a favorite of mine:

My mother was a big Glenn Miller fan, and I fell in love with Big Band music...Benny Goodman, Bob Crosby and the Bobcats, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, the Andrews Sisters. Even Spike Jones was big during WWII.

Johnny Mercer's G.I. Jive:

I always preferred Louis Jordan for G.I. Jive, which I heard a day or two ago on the Sirius 40's channel. I think Johnny wrote it, but Louis always cracks me up.
