Rodger Pettichord Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Great musicians and great music--the Big Bands had it all, plus some of the best arrangers ever. Sophisticated stuff. Thanks, Adam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm going to combine my response to this post, Adam, with Rodger's TWMT. Until it closed several years ago we had here a really fun restaurant called the "56th Fighter Squadron." The food was very good, basic fare. But the theme, ambiance, and location was perfect for a military veteran/retiree, history geeg, and aviation nut. It was located at the edge of KFRG, Farmingdale Republic Airport. The view out the windows overlooked the ramp.and Runway 14/32. But in the foreground there were a couple Republic P47s which had been built at this field. The restaurant was decorated as a WW2 Officers' Club in Europe during the War. And of course this was the music played over the sound system: Andrews Sister, Argue Shaw, Glenn Miller, and all the others. Wife and Mother indulged me, but it was a great favorite of mine while it lasted. Thanks for.sharing these. Great memories. Though I must say, my Mom could never understand why I liked this music. She pointed out that it was the music of her generation. Actually I never cared for most of the music from "my" generation. But then mom insisted that I was fifteen years older than she was. She was 25 when I was born, but she figured I was 40. Ken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
