I asked all of my twittersheep: “What was the coolest link you’ve found today?” Within minutes, here’s who played along. I would have missed all but one of their picks:

A Lockergnome subscriber, George Spink, must have been reading my mind – because he had emailed me with his own set of links seconds after my original request went out over Twitter:
Hi, Chris,
I doubt if I’m the only person past 60 who is a big fan of yours, Chris. So I’m passing along a few links that might interest a few of your fans who might be close to my age (66):
The first two links pertain to the United States Air Force Band. This is a superb band that follows in the tradition of Major Glenn Miller’s great Army Air Force Band of World Wart Two.
The first link will take you to a web page where you can listen to streaming audio 24/7/365 featuring the United States Air Force Band and also its big band component, the Airmen of Note.
http://www.usafband.com/bandstand/chooser.html
The second link will take you to a web page where visitors can legally download (for free) MP3s of many of the songs from many of the albums that the United States Air Force Band and the Airmen of Note have released over the past five decades.
http://www.usafband.com/recording.cfm
My fondness for these two sites stems from my love of big bands, whose records I began collecting when I was only nine years old–in 1949.
The Palomar – http://milliondreamsago.net/
My site dedicated to big band radio broadcasts from the 1930s and 1940s, with a few soundtracks and live concerts thrown in for good measure, along with some CBS newscasts during World War Two.
Tuxedo Junction – http://www.tuxjunction.net/
My site that offers plenty of big band articles and photos and about 1,000 MP3s of big band songs. not MIDI files but MP3s of original big band recordings.
Both of my sites are configured to discourage visitors from saving music to their own computers.
Or, if rhythm n’blues and classic rock n’roll from the 1950s are to your liking, visit my third web site:
