Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, a lot of music from the 30s - 60s.

Neon especially 30s - 50s. 50s - 60s architecture & decor from minty green with linoleum to Naugahyde & teak, leopard print, chrome & barware as well. Mmmmartini & the sophisticated air associated with it.

Sci-fi and B monster movies, weird indi films & old classics.

Vintage advertising & ephemera including off colour representations of cultures around the world

1964 1/2 mustangs & my Dad's 1965 Corvair in glacier gray.
Brewerania, specifically Whitbread's - I am a Whitbread after all.

All very cool stuff- I'm just now starting to collect some Louis Prima stuff- he's the greatest. Ella is also the greatest. I was fortunate enough to see her in the 80s with Oscar Peterson at an outdoor concert in Connecticut- a magical evening. I love old movies and cheesy sci-fi is one of my favorites.
