Happy 90th, Art! Go Swing Machine!

 

   Art Abrams formed his Swing Machine Big Band in 1986,

the year after he started his Jazz Summit program on KMHD.

 

  Listen Wednesday, and find out what he's all about - Big Bands!

 

   Since we met in 1985,

Art has not changed at all.

He takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin',

better than the best Timex -

still looks good, sounds good, thinks and talks good.

May we all be so fortunate!

 

   Happy birthday, Arthur!
