anybody here / seen my old friend john?

So. I am, unfortunately enough, NOT chained to someone else in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure everyone wishes they were handcuffed to me, but ALAS. It was not to be. Don't cry for me Argentina.

Anyway.

I was watching this series the other day maybepossibly because I was actually INTERESTED in someone else's fandom! and there was a 1940s episode in there somewhere that made me really nostalgic for big band music (among other things). And... I may have gotten a little carried away in my downloading. Hahahahahaaaaa? OLDIES ARE GOOD, OKAY.

And of course now I've gotta share. Partially because all you young things (coughcough) don't know how bad you've got it. (Musically, anyway.) (...Today is a very strikeouts-and-parentheses day night. :|)
