[@waynecolburn8849]

My grandfather could play so nice. I wish I knew him. My Mother travel with his band occasionally.

Bunny 's trumpet-playing is out of this world! Wish I was there!

[@stevecarlson6462]

Bunny was an improvisational genius. He played a real cute horn.

[@stevecarlson6462]

Bunny also did much of the arranging. RIP Bunny! Thank you Barry! !And THANK YOU BARRY!

[@timeandnourishment1961]

I've always loved this orchestra; a tight and powerful sound to complement Bunny's own trumpet style. Sad that such a wonderful musician had so pitiful an end in 1942. Thanks again, Barry. Stay well, you and your listeners everywhere!

I love that name and the big band music reminds of people that I love

[@dianneluecking2872]

Nobody blows that horn like Bunny Berigan his son was my band teacher and it was WAY to cool for school daddio

[@waynecolburn8849]

I am his grandson. Great you knew Bunny's son.

​@Wayne Colburn That's amazing! Did you catch the jazz bug too? I've been a devotee of Bunny's playing since before I can remember. He inspired me to take up the horn.

[@wesm65]

That's wonderful! Also, Bunny's nephew Kaye Berigan is an accomplished professional trumpeter. It's great to see the Berigan musical tradition live on.

Thank you Barry, Bunny at his best

[@tooter1able]

Such a fresh swingin' sound; Thanks for posting; makes you want to be there. Does anybody have a list of the musicians?

[@wstewic]

MAGIC!!!

[@phaasch]

This is priceless- a whole life program of the band at it's apogee in both personnel and fortunes. To have been there. Were those turn-rounds really that impossibly quick, or has there been some editing? Thank you for this, Barry. This really was the hottest band on the stand in 38, it's leader a technical and creative genius of giant stature.

[@jimcoleman2369]

Who was the girl vocalist ?

[@jimcoleman2369]

I just did some research - It was Jane Dover , who later sang with Claude Thornhill under the name Jane Essex ..

[@jack5787]

The vocalist during this broadcast was Gail Reese.

[@jimcoleman2369]
