I've been listening this morning to an old cassette tape of Dave Grusin and a band of all stars including Russell Ferante, Dave Weckle, Ernie Watts and many others.

This is about the best big band on the circuit today.

They are amassing.  I think I might have heard them before.

I've always liked Brian Setzer

I've always liked Brian Setzer

Really, how can you not?  He's funny, good and got that rockin' beat down pat.

Saw the Stray Cats when the first came out in a 250 person club.  You knew they were going to be big because they played that way right from the start.

Yes Brian is good. I saw them last year with the Pretenders and ZZTop but they didn't have the other musicians-it was just the 3 of them.

I have a ww2 flight sim that has alot of that period music in it. Glenn Miller is on of my favs too.

Yeah, I caught the Stray Cats down in Hollywierd years ago...and yeah they lit the place up

Not only could Setzer shred the guitar...but sing too? Everyone was in awe

Yeah, I have some great guitar porn from last month when he did his Xmas show at our place.  And I also got the real true story about what happened to the original Stray Cats Gretsch (that was as much a part of the Stray Cats as he was) he used.  Seems that at the end of the show a couple of years back, when he was doing that standard rock god deal of throwing the guitar offstage to the tech he was standing on the cord.  It went up, made it about halfway to the tech, when the cord ran out and it came instantly crashing to the ground and the neck snapped.  He's never tossed a guitar since.
