  1. Barberella,
    This has been (still going) a vast, authentic and really wonderful compilation of music, images and memories of a time that most of us never saw... Thanks very much for all those who came from the 40's, if only in from our Grandparents and Parents, even Great-Grandparents...
    You are a fine popular historian, and music-lover, and radio, and popular culture in the best way... all that... lover and sharer.
    Keep up the good work!
