As we're going back in time ...
I was always slightly jealous of the number of dance bands and jazz musicians that my parents saw. Especially the ones like Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald

I would have loved to have seen Glenn Miller and his orchestra live. His music is timeless.

I was lucky enough to see Frankie in concert.
He was certainly class with a capital C.
He shared the bill with Sammy Davis Jnr. who was also a brilliant showman.
Dean Martin was also supposed to have shared the bill with them but dropped out at short notice due to illness. He was replaced on the bill by Liza Minnelli.
I still regret not having seen Deano perform that night along with his "Rat Pack" mates.
