1939: Pre-World War II but things were stirring, end of the Depression Era, Vancouver was already 52 years old… as is what was then called the Vancouver Fire Department… and the band was already 12… Fun to think about a snapshot in time like that, eh?

Place: Gastown, Vancouver, BC
Band: Full Swing Band

Recording Credit: Erin Anne Beirne, with iPhone 4 using iRecorder Pro. (Yes, we know, it wasn’t positioned in the best place to capture the whole band for the first few songs, including this one. We’ll work on getting better recordings when we reconvene next fall…)
