The middle of the show is dedicated to the Nicholas Brothers, travelling steadily back in time, starting with a 1989 charity performance and concluding with a clip from the 1943 Musical/Romance, Orchestra Wives linked here: I've got a Gal in Kalamzoo (from Orchestra Wives): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFv_PoZ2iP0 We finish the show with some brand new experimental electro swing from DJ Betty Boom.

As you know, Paul, I am a huge fan of the Nicholas Brothers. I could be wrong but I think I have seen video of that performance of the young Nicholas Bros. doing that number. I am going to do some deep searches later tonight to see if I can find it. Maybe it was a TV special or something since I was first blown away by their talent when I was maybe 12 or so and never forgot them. What one of a kind talent!!!!!!

it is so wonderful to hear someone else rave about these guys like I have all my life. And thanks for telling it like it was for them back at that time. They deserved so much more recognition that they received. Bless you for bringing them to a whole new generation, Paul

There will always be something tying it all together, swing is a broad-ranging genre. I'm so thankful to all of you lovely listeners, it is my pleasure to share this passion with all of you.
