Okeh...I specifically collect Ellington 1926-36 (I can't afford the earliest
issues). I have most Ellingtons from this period...usually bought them for
$3 to $5. I also collect Guy Lombardo Columbias and early Deccas.

Beyond that, I enjoy almost all dance-band music (and a lot of vocal
stuff as well) from 1916-36; I also own (and enjoy) MANY "swing-
era" sides; mostly bought on LARGE lots over the last several years.

My favourite dance band side is Irving Aaronson's "Let's Misbehave!"
