The Navy Swings

I have to say, personally speaking, the gratitude is all my own for what you provide. As a born and bred Aussie I had no idea American radio was so fabulous during its heyday. The closest I knew about these radio days and shows was a very funny episode of Frasier where they tried to recreate an old time radio play. You probably know the episode. I've since realized OTR is a veritable Aladdin's cave of unrivalled entertainment treasures. What is especially valuable is the insights you get into the actual personalities of the performers. They become multi-dimensional people that you are able to relate to, and the self-deprecation and humor is astonishing, very funny and highly entertaining. And you don't have to have lived in the era to appreciate it. So hopefully, your great business endeavor will continue to thrive and bring great joy to the listeners of these programs.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your web site. You do a superb job providing historical information regarding these wonderful broadcasts. My particular area of interest is the popular music of the 1930's and 1940's (the "swing era"). I also like advertisements from this period. Thank you for making these great broadcasts available to all!
