Right now, Amber Digby Live at Swiss Alp Hall. If you like Loretta Lynn style country music, Amber's definitely worth checking out. One of the few modern country singers who gets it right, IMHO.

Love those c. 1933-34 "almost-swing" bands... (although there were some which were already in full swing by then, before Goodman rose to fame)

Yeah, there were swinging bands - think Isham Jones, Glen Gray, Ray Noble, who played both sides of the hot/sweet spectrum - and swing bands, which were still, perforce, all Black, and were called hot bands.

Been on a big Jan Garber kick lately, both his hotter earlier stuff, and his later c. 1939-40 sweeter Brunswick stuff (one of the first 78s I ever got as a kid was a '39 Garber brunswick from Granddad)

Garber was actually selling platters in 1933-'34 (hard to do then), after taking over a Canadian Lombardo-styled band and pretty much doing "Lombardo with a beat," right down to the single note guitar fills. Good example:

Prior to that of course, Jan had a straight-ahead collegiate outfit. But he made the mistake of getting too far ahead of public taste by hiring the very hep Spud Murphy as arranger and went bust.
