Or maybe, BWM, you were messing with the tired old brains of us old folks reading this. LOL

I'm glad you clarified that because I was having trouble trying to work out which song you meant.

I remember sitting in the back seat of the car with my older sister on Sunday evenings, listening to the swing music on the radio as we went back home from visiting our cousins. That was in the early to mid '60's. A few years later our parents bought a radiogram - a cabinet radio with an LP record player, along with a large number of 78 rpm records from the swing era. So many happy memories of that music. I still love a lot of those old songs, e.g. Destiny sung by Johnny Ray, Sixteen Tons - Merle Travis, Bob Crosby and the Bobcats, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, and the weird record by Nervous Norvus with Transfusion and I think the B side was called Dig. I fell in love with those songs at a very young age and never forgot them.
