On Wednesday, January 17, 2001 PBS will air "Swing: Pure Pleasure", covering 1935-1937. This is the 5th of 10 episodes concentrating on the history of early Jazz in America. I was going to quote a Tom Petty song that I believe is called "Swingin'", (where he mentions Sonny Liston and Benny Goodman as "swingers") but the official Petty site was down and a second site didn't offer a lyric search engine. Of course, I was free to examine each of his albums *individually*, hoping that the song I was thinking of was even released on an album. I passed. Things are nicer here at home. :) Lama
