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
