Is that an old Dual 125 table? I used to have one of those.

It is a Dual 1229

Wherever this music is played, that is where I would go without any hesitation; If I were in the hospital, I would get right up and start dancing; if I were laying in a casket, I would jump right out of it when I heard this music played; I do not think that I could ever be that dead that I would not respond.

I'm a rocker, but I love Les and Larry's work. All things in their place and time are great int the moment.

Great to hear Les Elgart, one of the most elegant of all big band arrangers. Unfortunately underrated. But a band of connoisseurs do appreciate him. Thanks for putting him on.

This is the real Les Elgart sound, with call-and-answer as no one did. It's nice, I liked. It's a peat that there is no more orchestras like that nowadays... Greetings from Brazil!
