My late father got his start in broadcasting as a radio DJ after WWII (he went on to TV by 1951). He had hundreds of 78s, and we grew up with an appreciation for the music of that era. My sister - an aspiring clarinetist - loved Benny Goodman, and had the chance to meet him when she was in high school. She was so starstruck she couldn't speak. Her friend had to say, "Mr. Goodman this is Mary and she's one of your biggest fans."
