My favorite vocalists reflect the fact that I was brought up in Yonkers, N.Y., in the 1940's, but the music of the '20's and '30's rang in my ears as a boy.

72We're Doing Great, But We Can Do Better
There's a lot to be said about the benefits of being alive at this juncture in history, especially here in the good old U.S.A. While most of us are far from wealthy, we tend to focus more than we should on "things" and less on family, friends and neighbors.
