Also Frank Sinatra, Sidney Bechet, Jack Teagarden, Louis Armstrong, and Bing Crosby. There was some insanely great music in my folks generation.

Back round 58, my folks moved into their our home. They bought a Magnavox entertainment center. All wood, with a built in record player...78's and 33's! And a radio tuner. Dad would tune into some major broadcast channels that we could hear live audio from places in NYC .
