(31,514 posts)1. I grew up listening to music like this.
My dad was a big band fan. It was, after all, the music of his youth. He listened on a big cabinet model Silvertone radio/phonograph that sat next to his chair. It was an impressive piece of furniture.

This was one of my father's favorites. He would have been 95 today.
May his memory be a blessing.

Yes, may his memory be a blessing. So glad you got to hear his song on his day.
