I was invited to go to a Jr. High "dance" in 1964 and we were to bring a 45 rpm or a 33 rpm album with which to dance. I took an album by Artie Shaw. Needless to say, I lost out to the Beatles and Kinks.

Well, at least you tried. There's just no accounting for taste, is there?

Have you heard Helen Forrest's "Moonray"? She recorded that one in 1938 when she got her first big break, singing with Shaw's band. Billie Holliday was also in his band that year and you can hear her influence on the younger singer.
