[@gerrynightingale9045]

Take a closer look...the uniforms Patty/Maxine/Lavern wore were 'military-style' but NOT actually military.None of them were ever actually 'enlisted-in-service' ...despite that, they were just as 'serving' as any other women during WW2 and personally recognized by FDR as 'vital to the morale of the armed-forces and civilians as well" and received commendations from the President himself! (the hours they put in performing on every 'Front' during the war was incredible...Maxine said in the '60's that "We didn't have a day-off for over two years...but we didn't mind so much when we saw what those boys went through and how happy they were to see a live-show from us and everyone else...I never heard of any performer ever complaining of 'working' then...we saw it as a privilege to help them forget the War for awhile". (not well-known was the fact that "Andrews Sisters" were enormously popular in Germany itself...even during the War! Their records were 'officially banned' of course...but they were highly prized, even being traded for 'black-market' items like real cigarettes and liquor)

[@webleypug]

The Andrews Sisters boarded a train one evening in 1944 after having performed in Ottawa, Canada. My future mother, who had lived & worked in the city, was boarding the same train, headed for Saskatoon in order to marry my future father. She was accompanied by three of her friends who wished to wave her good-bye. When the party of four got to the train station, where many Andrews Sisters' fans had congregated, my mom quipped "Oh, my goodness! I didn't think this many people would be here to see me leave". All involved in this story are now gone, but the husband of one of the gals who'd accompanied Mom to the station is still alive. He clarified some of the points of this story. He was a Canadian heavy bomber pilot stationed out of England, eventually earning the monicker "Crash", due to several (four) hair-raising combat mission escapades with the various craft he was piloting. I've carried this insignificant little story with me for decades, & feel I've finally found a forum in which to share it.

One of many videos I am drawn to again and again. You can literally see the light of being's DNA, on temporary loan from God, reflected from the parents and refracted through the three ladies. It's as amazing as experiencing Ravi Shankar's little girls playing together. There are only a small number of keys on a piano or strings on a guitar or sitar, yet the combos of excellence are endless. This exquisite performance etches out one of the endless facets of the eternal diamond of existence. The cosmic eye of consciousness cannot be contained, it can "only" be manifested, savored before perpetually yielding to the next heartbeat, or, as we see now, generation or three. Or Thirty three thousand...

If you close your eyes you can hear how the big-band era laid some of the ground roots to rock n roll. This was really the first music that really got people off their seat and dancing all night. It wasn't called swing for nothing, it really got people swingin and music had never done that before.

[@rickstenquist8831]

The roots of rock and roll came more from the blues. The Big Band jazz just kind of died once rock became a big deal in the mid 1950's. The record companies stopped signing jazz- type artists, which was a true tragedy.

The Andrews Sisters were magnificent because they had style, rhythm, and pure talent. But what makes them stand out even 70 years later is what may not be apparent with the first few viewings. Literally everyone in this clip was in uniform, which was not surprising since the movie Buck Privates, from which this clip came, was filmed during the Second World War. The United States was a very different country from the way it is now. America was truly a united collection of states, and the Andrews Sisters were in the right time in the right place with the right style and talent to give America the opportunity to band together in a life and death struggle.

So, this is an interesting time for America. In 1936, Germany invaded Poland. France and Great Britain got involved and Europe became a battleground. America did not join the war until 1942/43 after the December 1942 bombing of Pearl Harbor. This marked the beginning of a huge change in America regarding role models. Men, whenever possible went to the war in Europe and the Pacific. Women were left at home to basically run the country. This forced women to take on roles that they were capable of doing but historically never did. Women became factory workers, farmers, butchers, baseball players, sales people, office workers outside of the secretarial pool. They ran the country's day to day business. This was reflected in the arts of the time including the music. The Andrews Sisters were on the forefront of this change and spent a lot of time performing and entertaining the troops as you see in this video. They brought a sass that was mostly missing in female role models of the time. It was a glorious age and we could use something similar today to wake people up from the "woke" BS.
