Kay Kyser: A Zoot Suit

Hi fellow swing music lovers!

I'll be trying a new type of posts here on the blog. I haven't had the time to write so much lately so I thought I'd do a "today's swing song" with a link to a tip without writing much else.

First out is Kay Kyser And His Orchestra with A Zoot Suit.
Listen at Spotify.
