On part-two of our May clarinetists birthday celebrations, we pay a birthday salute to Artie Shaw who was born on May 23, 1910. I have done birthday shows for Artie in the past and you can find them in older podcasts, but today's show is a little different. I have a three disc set of all the numbers that Artie did while he was on the Melody and Madness show. I have picked out several of those numbers and we'll learn about the history of Melody and Madness in which Artie was on from late 1938 to the Spring of 1939.  I hope you enjoy the show as we celebrate the birthday of the great mesian, band leaser, and clarinetist Artie Shaw.
