I love my family, motorbiking, Cuban cigars, cooking, my beautiful back yard and of course American history.
My special focus is on
THE RAGGED IRREGULARS
The 91st BG of the 8th AF. Operating from Station 121 in Bassingbourn, Cambs, UK.
A special thank to Mike Banta, who gave me the permission to use the following photos!
Here you can see Mike Banta and Ray Darling in front of the squadron sign -

The Andrews Sisters -
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
I like everything but Classic, like Mozart, Chopin etc..
So I own and listen to lots of Schellacks from the early 20th century like Enrico Caruso, Alma Gluck and Sophie Tucker,
some of the early Country era like Jimmie Rodgers and Carl T. Sprague and some of the awesome Swing and Big Band era, as there are Glenn Miller,
Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and the great Andrews Sisters and many, many more!!! I also like R&R, Pop, Punk and Metall:
Boppin..B, Cherry Poppin Daddies, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy, Carlos Santana, Joe Satriani, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Slipknot, System Of A Down and so on
