Les Browns' "I've Got My Love To Keep Me warm" was one of his greatest/ I'm old enough to remember dancing to les Browns music (I'm 90 now) Still get out dancing, on occasion

One of the best! I also liked Billy Eckstein's & Sarah Vaughn's and Eddie Gorme's & Steve Lawrence's cuts.

I am a member of a "big band" in Morris County, NJ., The Swingtones. We play from original sheets from the Miller, Basie, Ellington bands, and others.

So cool. What instrument? I played trumpet for many years, small groups.
Do you know Jon Plante or Mike Kaplan?

I play trombone. We practice in Morris Plains, the first and third Tuesday of the month if you are willing to schlep and sit in. Do not know those names.

Thanks for the invite. Stopped playing years ago. Gave my Bach Strad to my grandson.

Enjoy,
Mark.

A bit before my time but growing up I enjoyed jazz, swing, big band and other music from the 20's through the 50's more than I did my own generation 60's and 70's. Thanks for the link.
