5.0 out of 5 stars Great Records of the Decade: 40's Hits, January 17, 2000

I originally bought this cd to use in a history unit I teach on the war years. The students enjoyed the music so much they ask to have it on during writing time. My parents, in their 70's, have told some fun stories after listening to this music. It will take you back to big band days and swing music. The beat is toe-tapping and if you are not too young you will recognize all the songs. A great addition to your library.

This is music that even my high school class loves. It is fun and the kids identify with the well done music from years gone past. Fun!!! One of my kids stole my first one! LOL!!!
