I was a merchant marine officer commuting to vietnam for three years during the war. i at least did not have a radio that i could listen to the armed forces radio, so i listened to tapes brought from the us. i heard these songs later and appreciated their tone and timelessness. thank you .
i tend to think of these musicals as dated and fixed in some time when i was only 65. the good thing is that i can, reluctantly change. and now i am 73 years younger. this is very confusing, messing with the space time continuum. back to the future again.
the playlist is out of order. for those of us too stupid, it would help. otherwise i would have to think. replay, learn. cannot have that! how did you find out where ms kenney sang ? damn, you are good. and yet, as my daddy said, not rich. UNFAIR.
this is one of your best. loved it and came close to tears several time. then i reached back to our donald and regained my strength. when i regained consciousness.....
you are the first, and only broadcaster that i have heard that actually connects jan 6 and our history. thank you very much, sincerely. but then, we all know these people were special and good people. right. ? no?
thanks for the irving berlin song. especially for this.
