5th Anniversary of Swing City Radio


Hey there Hepcats!  Can you believe Swing City Radio has been streaming for 5 years now?  We've been through a worldwide pandemic together, as well as a host of natural disasters, wars across the globe, two U.S. Presidential Elections and so much more.  Personally, I love the fact when the world goes crazy I'm able to sit down, take a deep breath, relax and listen to this great music.  I hope you feel the same.

I'm not planning to make a big deal about the Anniversary on the air, just a couple of promo announcements here and there.  Frankly, I've been so busy behind the scenes with personal stuff, it all kind of snuck up on me. 

But, the main reason for this post, is to thank ALL of you.  Thank you so much for tuning in day after day, year after year.  Thank you for being so passionate about this music.  And thank you for all of the support and valuable feedback.

One of the great byproducts of creating this station has been the fact that I've gotten to know many of you out there.  I'm not the biggest fan of technology and always try to simplify my life as much as possible, but in this case I find it so cool that the online world has provided a way for all of us to enjoy this music from years past together.

Thank you and I'm looking forward to another 5 years with all of you.

Soundie: My Lost Horizon

Picture of Doris Day

Today's Soundie features Les Brown and His Band Renown along with a 16 year old Doris Day handling the vocals.  "My Lost Horizon" was filmed in April of 1941.  Les Brown also filmed two other Soundies that month: "Once Over Lightly" and "Is It Love or Conscription?".

As far as I know, this was Doris Day's first film appearance of any kind.  About a decade later she would go to have a successful movie career.

Enjoy!

Watch: "My Lost Horizon" by Les Brown featuring Doris Day.
