Artie Shaw died today (December 30) at age 94. He is one of my all-time favorite recording artists. I have an extensive collection of his recordings.

In addition to Artie Shaw, I also have extensive collections of recordings from such artists as Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller, and many other selections from the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, and some 1950's of various artists. I have a small handful of pre-1920's stuff as well.

One of the last survivors of the swing era is gone. This has been one bad year.

Unbelievable. I had no idea that Artie Shaw was even still with us. We've lost a major part of pop culture history yesterday.
