From time to time... or every 8 hours to reply to people. Well just in case this is all true I'm not going to argue because I have utmost respect for veterans, just tell your grand-daughter she should probably sort herself out (:

I listened to this broadcast from overseas...I was 23, and in my last year of service during World War II...Satchmo was everyone's favorite, and this was a great night, even in war-torn Germany.

@jrgorilla1 so this is from 1945 which was 66 years ago, and apparently you were 23, this would make you 89...(yes i'm quite the mathmatician)

you expect us to believe this, and that an 89 year old has a youtube account? mmmhmm

@homebakedfreshgorila My grandson created this account to upload videos of his and his sister "dubbing" Star Trek episodes...I log in from time to time to listen to great music and share my experience.
