Check ...

Thank you, Laura! I'm really glad to learn that Keep Punching is PD, especially since I released my CD today and haven't paid for the rights to that song. I really appreciate your help!

That's pretty cool. What are the title and composer's name that they use for the song? John the band leader, just transcribed it. He does it all the time. Yes, I understand that. That's where I got the music too: from the movie clip. With most old swing music that's the only source of authentic arr...
