Music to my Ears

Music, of all kinds, has always been very very important to me. Classical, Indie Rock, 90’s pop (yeah Ace of Base!), you name it.

But, ever since my dad gave me an old Glenn Miller record in the 5th grade, I’ve had a love affair with Swing Era Jazz and 40’s and 50’s Standards – Think Rat Pack…or even Lawrence Welk. (I might be the only person under the age of 84 that likes Lawrence Welk)
