On March 14, I attended the 1940s Big Band musical revue of "In the Mood" at the Tower Theater with my friends. I grew up surrounded by that wonderful music and singing. Most of the seniors in the audience actually lived and danced to it.
The band performed music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and the Andrews Sisters. It also featured a drum solo of Gene Krupa which brought down the house. When "The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" was sung, the crowd went wild.
What a wonderful performance! The Tower Theater is our little gem in Fresno. Nothing compares to the elegance and beauty of a well-seasoned theater.
