Program: Swing and Big Band with The Minister of Swing

Pretty easy week for me as I had 3 jazz greats birthdays to celebrate: Jack Teagarden (8/20/1905), Larry Clinton (8/17/1909) and Count Basie (8/21/1904). Thanks to everyone who listened and called and told me their own stories especially Leo with the last Teagarden story from the Prince Conti Hotel in New Orleans.
