Title: dance music 40's & 50's
Post by anniegetyourgun on 12/05/07 at 22:47:50

Hi - I work with over-65s and am trying to get hold of the music they would have danced to in the ballrooms in the 40's and 50's - I think this period is on the cusp of the changeover from oldtime to modern. Can anyone help with suggestions? Thankyou!
