Subject: Re: Sgt Pepper
You really up on all those Big Bands and Swing Orchestras?

Music, ocean, food... these are a few of my favorite things ;-)

Josephine Baker, Al Jolson (Sittin on top of the world)..not to be confused with the version by the Missisippi Sheiks..., Louie Armstrong, The Dorsey's, Dizzy Gillespie, Gene Krupa, Bix Biederbeak.... you bet. The names of others don't roll off my tongue like the musicians who play blues derivative of Robert Johnson (Crossroads, 1932!)

But then again, I grew up on the LA west side where music and musicians were alll around me...

A few weeks ago we listened to Chris Thiele play 2 hours of mando Bach... solo
