Lots of black and white movies on the tube when I was a kid. Maybe one of the records my parents had.
I didn't get into older jazz till I bought some Dorsey Brothers cassettes as a present for the folks and dubbed copies for myself. One of the songs was Stardust with some skinny Italian kid doing the vocals.
