Big Band & Swing Music

Tomorrow, my wife, kids, and I will be going to a family reunion for my Grandma Hill's side of the family, the Browns. My grandma was not only the Best Grandma Ever (sorry if you think YOUR Grandma is/was – she's not), she was also my best friend when I was younger. She passed away in January of 1992, and a part of me has been lost ever since. The last time we had a Brown Family Reunion was only a year or two after my grandma passed. In her younger and even older years, she had been a huge fan of Big Band music. She loved to dance to it as long as she was able to. In memory of my Grandma Hill, here's a collection of some of the finest Big Band and Swing music ever produced. Enjoy!  ~  JH
