Andy.....

Looks like a winner!

Any program that opens with a mix of Freddie Martin {doing "Big Bad Wolf" much less}, Maurice Chevalier & then Jelly Roll Morton from Chicago has to be great!

Also sprinkling in Annette Hanshaw & my all-time favs The Bozzies...this could get you a genius rating....
