1940 - 1941 were good years for the big bands as they were full of great music. For the next two weeks I am going to be playing another program from the Time-Life series, "The Swing Era". This was a really good series presented in two year segments. Each set came with three records and a nice book telling about the music in the set. I discovered a few of the sets at the local library and promptly dubbed them to tape and played them quite often. The music in "The Swing Era" were recreations by the bands of Billy May and Glen Gray. I have elected to try and play the original recordings. I hope you enjoy this Whitman's sampler of big band music from 1940 and 1941. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
