Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm in
the mood for some Big Band Sounds.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3K5uB-wMA - In the Mood - Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, 1946
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Mood:
"In the Mood" is a song popularized by the American bandleader Glenn Miller in 1939, and one of the best-known arrangements of the big band era. Miller's rendition topped the charts one year later and was featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade... The song was composed by Joe Garland and Andy Razaf, and arranged by Glenn Miller.[1] The main theme previously appeared under the title of "Tar Paper Stomp", credited to jazz trumpeter/bandleader Wingy Manone, who recorded it several times in 1929 and 1930. A story says that after "In the Mood" became a hit, Manone was paid by Miller and his record company not to contest the copyright.

As we've already established, identifying cars is not really my thing,
so I don't know the make and model of this car - but I know I like it!
![]() I "chanced" across it in the June 1947 Anchor, and thought it definitely belonged on Our Old Cars - so now it is! The below mentioned quiz is available there as well. (Keep looking; you'll find them both, even though they're not together.) |

FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 03/07/14: A man took his hamster to the vet, and after a short look at the creature the vet pronounced it dead. Not happy with the vet's diagnosis the man asked for a second opinion. The vet gave a whistle and in strolled a Labrador dog. The dog nudged the hamster around with its nose and sniffed it a couple of times before shaking his head. "There" said the vet, "Your hamster is dead". Still not happy the man asked for a third opinion. The vet opened the back door and in bounded a cat. The cat jumped onto the table and looked the hamster up and down for a few minutes before looking up and shaking it's head. "It's definitely dead, sir", says the vet. Convinced, the man enquireed how much he owed. "That will be £1000, please". "A £1000 just to tell me my hamster is dead?!?" fumed the man. "Well", said the vet, "There's my diagnosis, the lab report and the cat scan". |
