BB Hillbilly Chart Apr 1939 - Jan 1, 1944

BB printed a monthly chart from 1939-1942, then published a weekly column1942-mid 1944 with nationwide survey information. I have 1939-1943 in spreadsheet, with extensive information including chart position for every week. All info references to BB issues. You are welcome to it, much of it is on Wikipedia

Songs to set the mood!

I was going to use one of these versions for a chapter title of my fictional swing dance book, but after hearing both of which were wonderful, I'm going to go with Roy Rogers I'm an Old Cowhand! My characters just got job in Las Vegas in 1943 at the newly opened Last Frontier. I think this sets the tone, unless you can think of a better one?
