On this Tuesday's and Sunday's show you'll hear lots of live swing, jazz, dance, oddities, news reports and ads from the 30s, 40s & 50s -and a personal breakthrough in musical detective work - I'm now sure that Freddy Monroe on the famous 1939 WJSV radio transciption is really a pseudonym for Frankie Masters. Maybe everyone else knew before me. But check out todays recording of Scatterbrain by Frankie Masters to hear the similarities between the 'two' bands & hear if I'm right
