I don't care what anybody says, I'll take swing music any day (and I was born LONG after it's heyday). Great track! I've read that in many of a "battle of the bands" the opposing team would get worried when they were facing the Lunceford outfit. I think the band would have continued much longer had not Tommy Dorsey swiped Sy Oliver away. Thanks for remembering these fine artists.

You bet, Michael. :)

Jimmie & Artie are my 2 favorite bandleaders.
