Like you guys, I was surprised to hear that Artie was not already deceased.
I loved his music! Grew up on alot of that older stuff and it gave me a great (if not obscure) sence of musical appreciation.

Shaw, Goodman, the Dorseys...so many of those older big band / swing artists were (and are) my favorites.

I was sorry to hear of his pasing, but...yeah, I thought he was already gone.

Salute!
