I hope you like my slideshow video of big band leaders, vocalists, and ballrooms from the Swing Era.

And, I hope you enjoy the other videos I have posted -- including the eight videos about my buddy Art Hellyer, one of the finest big band DJ's I've ever heard.

Let me know if you have any comments, complaints, or suggestions.

Hi George!

The new site design still freaks my geek a little bit (so to speak), but
I'm honored that my humble little channel made it into your "Subscriptions" category.

Much appreciated...and very cool, indeed!
Very Best Regards,
Double C

How are you, Sharon? I'm sorry I'm so late in posting this comment, but I decided today that it is high time to update this page of mine on YouTube.

George, it is so funny how the internet get people connected.
I actually returned back to Israel 3 years ago after doing my Master in Jazz in Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL. I got to perform some with my trio (back then) in Chicago and of course in DeKalb.
You probably know some of the people who went to school with me...they are all amazing musicians in the Chicago area.

My two cats (yes, the kitten died) keep me company all through the day. Leo mostly through the evenings and on through the night, and Booboo joins me from morning till evening...

:-)

Hugs from Tel-Aviv,

and...Shalom!

Sharon
