Thanks for the great introduction to Artie Shaw. His band's version of Begin the Beguine sounds like a perfect song. However, Mysterioso blew me away. Was it light years ahead of it's time? I wonder what the critics thought of it? On second thought, who cares what they thought. 🤘😎🤘

Thanks for walking with us Karloff. I think Dodo had a lot to do with that song. I love that he left the band because he couldn't take it anymore.

Thanks for walking with us C.L. I suspect the clarinet is much harder to play than the harmonica.

That Goodman vs Shaw competition has always been interesting to me, as people take sides. It's like you're either a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan or a Yankee fan or a Mets fan, but I understand the New York dynamic less than the Chicago one...
