In the mid 1970's, Time Life records released an ambitious project called "The Swing Era". It was a ten volume set with three records included in each volume. It came with a very nice book detailing the musicians and events of that particular year. The songs were rerecorded by the bands of Billy May and Glen Gray. I have this set and thought instead of hearing the recreations that it would be interesting to hear the originals. So I'm borrowing the playlist and presenting the original recordings. There are about 30 songs so I'm going to break it up into two parts. I hope you enjoy the music. Please visit this podcast at http://www.fgmiller.com/bbb/
