Hello Everyone,

What a top site! Found it when checking out the blog.

To introduce myself, I am the singer and bandleader for Greg Poppleton & his Bakelite Dance Band

We play 1920s hot jazz and 1930s small group Swing.

Our CD, which was on the blog, is The Phantom Dancer: 14 Swing Era Songs of 1926 - 1939 in Radio Review.

Check out our music at [web]http://www.gregpoppleton.com[/web]

Enjoy!
Greg

It's fantastic to see some people really appreciating the swing genre, and not being concerned with money. Thanks eternally for your contribution!

Hi Luiz,

Because I'm especially into live swing, jazz & dance bands from 1920s-60s radio & TV & the art of radio broadcasting, that's what I listen to on the net.

Sites I visit from time to time, that have some music from old radio (but mostly spoken word) that can be downloaded includes:
