[Dixielandjazz]The Swing Years

[Bobolink7736 at aol.com]

I just have to tell somebody about this.  Remember those "Collector's 
Edition" mega-albums that Reader's Digest used to put out back in the '50's and 
'60's?  I just picked
up on today titled "The Swing Years" which is "Original performances by 24 
top bands playing 72 top tunes (1936-1946), including "Glenn Miller, Tommy 
Dorsey, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, Wayne King, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Sammy 
Kaye, Freddy Martin, Hal Kemp...and many more."  I picked it up at a resale 
shop in Gary, Indiana.  When I got home and looked at it more carefully, I found 
that it appeared
brand new.  Sorry, I'm too sleepy to continue.
best wishes to all
