Thank you so much suanj ... a very comprehensive answer.I loved 'Wingy's style of playing but his singing was something else.

You've got it Biff ....... I just love that era ..... and surprising how many Italian muso's were there at the time ... at a later period a favourite was Louis Prima and his band ..... great stuff.
