Publisher Description

Just what is nostalgia? Here are provocative and exciting stories about a great period of popular music. It was a time when the nation was facing desperate days of the Great Depression as well on-going fears of a World War. The still young radio industry was a major force in helping provide a worried nation with a source of entertainment and comfort. 

The author/narrator had conversation/interviews with many of the major stars and he tells you about their talent and their wonderful music. It’s as though you’re sitting there listening as to one of the most memorable eras in the nation’s history.

This turns back the pages of time to when the whole world was invited to dance and sing along. A dictionary tells you nostalgia is a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past. This is history about “The Golden Days of Big Band Music.”
