============================
Whilst in Spain recently, I was watching a programme about the FBI and 
John Dillinger in 1933/4. What music do we hear accompanying the story? 
"The Dipsy Doodle", "The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy From Company 'B'", Lena 
Horne's "Stormy Weather" and "My Little Girl" (possibly Jimmy Revard), 
all from about three or more years later!
