An interesting OTR for you today....Gene Krupa...Hotel Astor, NYC August 15, 1945 V-J Day....the end

The Hotel Astor, NYC (1940s)

Another great view of the Astor in the '40s

OK........now...about today's OTR............August 15, 1945.....Japan's unconditional surrender....the real END to the big war....

So, this WOR Mutual remote of the Krupa Band begins with some BBC coverage over the Mutual network, of the live response coming in from London and Manchester.....the British public reacting to the news of the end of the war.....then, on to a rockin' band remote of Gene, Anita, and the rest of the band...coming to you live from the Hotel Astor, in the heart of New York City.

It's like being in this time machine....taking you back to the end of the war. Sit back.....dig this one....you won't regret it.

Trafalgar Square, London....the celebration...

From the balcony of Buckingham Palace........

Outside London's Rainbow Corner Club, American servicemen and women wave headlines declaring peace on August 15, 1945. Nazi Germany had already surrendered in May.

No more waiting.....here's the link....enjoy!
