Good job resurrecting the US Army Air Forces uniforms to match the big band swing.

I saw these guys about 10 years ago, by chance in Galesburg, IL. There was a very small park space in downtown right next to the building my apartment was in, an it had a bandstand and small amphitheater. It was mindblowing 40’s Big Band, Jazz, Soul. I had recorded some of it on my PDA... this was before smartphones were the norm.
