To all,

Rat Patrol Radio- Wartime Tunes! is a webcasting radio station hosted on 
the <http://www.live365.com>Live 365 network. They specialize in Big Band 
and Swing music, and authentic WWII radio shows and news excerpts.

This station brings you the hits the men and women that fought history's 
greatest war listened to, whether they were in the service or on the homefront.

Groove to the beat of little-known but hard-swinging service bands like the 
Squadronaires and the Blue Rockets, in addition to famous favorites such as 
Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and the Dorseys. Listen as FDR proclaims a 
"Day of Infamy" and Churchill lauds the RAF in "their Finest Hour." We have 
bond drives by Tommy Dorsey and Bing crooning in the ol' Kraft Music Hall. 
They even have message boards where you can discuss swing music, old time 
radio, and your favorite WWII tunes.

So tune in, sit back, and be transported back to those times when "The 
Greatest Generation" fought to save the world in the greatest conflict ever 
known.

I've been listening while I put this message together.  Wow, what great 
songs.  The Andrew Sisters just finished with Bei Mir Bist Du Schon.  Then 
the news broken in and reported the Allies just entered Berlin and have 
taken over 70,000 prisoners. (actual vintage recording)

enjoy & 73, John Dilks, K2TQN
tnx to AH7I for the tip.
