    Glenn Miller

    I'm a BIG Miller fan. I saw the modern "Miller Band" in New Jersey about 30 years ago, I found it more or less passable. But I had seen the Ray McKinley version in the 60s as a kid. I would imagine the current band has come a long way in terms of musicianship. It's a great thing that the...

    Carss Mackinaw

    Oh, those are such HANDSOME coats. I saw a girl in Manhattan today wearing a classic Hudson Bay coat, and had such an urge to start telling her of the vast history involved with such coats, but stopped before I opened my mouth.

    Ross Sisters

    Ah, yes. This clip is definitely in the Fedora Lounge Hall of Fame. The girls pop up here on a regular basis. One of things you can't unsee.

    Our own vintage town

    The main sticking point always winds up being snow. There are snow lovers and snow haters, and never the twain shall meet. But we could have a warm town and a cold town and connect them by twain.

    Rockabilly subculture

    Great article, and a NICE article. I'd put the center of gravity a lot closer to 1957, tho.

    Battle of Britain : Fighter Control

    All devised by Air Marshall Dowding, who was basically canned after the crisis. He was rightfully bitter afterwards.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Just found out that the alleged death of Chumlee on Pawn Stars was a HOAX. Doi. Thought I'd share. (Am I a credulous knucklehead? Yes I am!).

    Who Doesn't Like The Dorsey Brothers?

    That's almost certainly a modern band doing the original Dorsey Brothers chart. I don't think hi fidelity recordings of the original band exist where it would have been played it in that style.

    Toppers Unite

    Astounding condition!!! Looks like something Isambard Brunell would have worn. Garrett!!! Long time no talk, bro. Just FYI, I finally took that great topper you sold me 4 years ago to Worth and Worth to have it refurbished. The owner there told me it dates to the 1880s. Anyhow, they did a...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Well, growing up in Western New York State, we had PLENTY of cold weather. Several times it got 30 below F, over night, but I was warmly tucked into bed at the time. But I do remember one stretch around 1962 or 63, where it was minus 18F every morning when I went to school. That lasted about 5...

    Who Doesn't Like The Dorsey Brothers?

    Anyone what doesn't like the Dorseys is MY EMENY!!! But seriously, the Dorseys definitely could swing. Was it Toscanini that said Tommy was the finest trombonist in the world? And Jimmy was respected as a jazz musician by just about everybody. Supposedly Charlie Parker was listening to a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Third Man, again, on TCM. Finally sort of understood what was going on. One of the greatest movies ever made.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Harold Camping, crackpot preacher, who predicted the end of the world. I used to catch him from time to time. He really knew his Bible, and had a lot of interesting things to say. Then he would veer off into complete lala land...

    1920s Tweed Shooting Day

    It was indeed wonderful. Menu was salad, chicken something something, broccoli with pasta bow ties and pesto, string beans, and . . . uhhh . . . I can't remember. Followed by GOOD apple pie, and later smores by the fire. And every kind of libation known to man (or woman), including Ugandan...
