Drum Battle!



Im a big fan of Big Band music if you dont already know. At the bottom of this site, there are many choices to choose from to beat with during your day.

One of my favorites is Gene Krupa. He was a great drummer in his time, and amazing good. He played alot of years with another favorite of mine, Benny Goodman.

Check it out and Rock on!

To Live and Drive in the 20's

Ah, to live in the 20's. Here is a great video of the Twenties. There are some great filmshots of some probably extinct 'buses'. A long roadster with a fold back top. Heh, its even snowing outside and there people are just happy to get a ride. Simply Amazing. Could you imagine if it happened this way today? Also featured is a small section "The Motor Car Designed for the Women". A neat little car with a 'boattail' rear section! I wonder if this was influenced by the racers of the time? There's more amazing shots in this video. Let me know what you like about it?



How's about a drive in New York in 1928? Talk about different. Its amazing, without all the strict rules we have to follow, that these folks even got around.

This is great. Check out Babe Ruth! Importantly, check out the cars in the video. There are so many different types.

Artie Shaw Presentation!

Artie Shaw is one of the best Clarinetists of the time. Its unfortunate that he has passed on. I would have loved to watch him play. The Irony is, he quit playing in 1955, layed down his instrument and never again picked it up. A real hero in music and a standard 'setter' of its time. God bless!

A Little Jive is Good for You! circa 1941

Lately, I have been outside of the cars a bit and have been surfing the web for Big Band Orchestra's and some of the History that goes with it.


I found another great video with Martha Tilton. Wasn't she beautiful!


Just watch and enjoy.
