To the memory of Gramps...I'll always remember you!

I wish Bob Dylan would record these songs from the 40's and the big band era and WWII. His parents listened and he listened and a huge number of people are still alive and they are listening, and their children and their grandchildren and their greatgrandchildren. It's not impossible for a rock and roll idol to record these songs. It's a sort of folk music for a massive audience.

I would love to see Bob Dylan tackle some of Spike Jones's hits.

I wish Bob Dylan had stopped singing after his creative period ended, about 1965. If you think he could sing these 40's songs, you must be nuts.

I had the satisfaction of walking out of his concert at the San Francisco Masonic Auditorium in that year.

Dylan - a classic sell-out. But so are most of us, those who are still here.

Jo Stafford, on the other hand, was a REAL talented singer, not a sell-out. Columbia and Capitol records.  Took the bus to work every morning.

Wanda, I love this video, makes me cry every time I watch for all the brave men who gave us our freedom so long ago. Not many of them left now. Your grandpa must have been very special.
