yeah I am 58 and remember quite a few of those things. I think that may have been writen a while back. Big bands were my grandparents music. I was born in 1952 my mother was 16 at the time .
I love these things though. Unfortunatly there was a lot of things going on behind closed doors that people didn't know about, things weren't quite the nirvana it was made out to be. But then I was a teenager in the late 60's sooo... some of the things I see touted about that time period was a wonderful as it seems now.
