Good to see him diggin' your vinyl! I'm guessing that at 93, he'd have been most influenced by popular music in the radio around 1940 -- Rosemary Clooney, Count Basie, Artie Shaw- the big band swingin' stuff.I've been spinning music from my own wasted youth - Cream "Goodbye" (1969) last night- stunning bass playing in that album! Everything about it is beautiful. It's just unf*ingbelievble that was almost 50 years ago...

Funny, his short-term memory is totally shot, but he can readily recall seeing Jimmy Dorsey and Lionel Hampton on two separate occasions at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. This was in 1941, before Bill enlisted and served in the Navy during WW II.
He really loves the WW II era music and we have a lot of fun spinning records and hanging out in my studio.
I'll bet this 4 LP set would be right up his ally with a ton of great music.
