Something to remember about jukeboxes:
When Homer Capehart invented and sold his record changer mechanism to the Wurlitzer Company, in 1933, it was a great revolution in music listening habits. The mechanism was adapted by Wurlitzer to produce what would be known as  jukeboxes.
When jukeboxes entered the scene, big bands and swing jazz music were in the top hits. Jukeboxes became common in bars, ballrooms, ice cream parlors, barbershops, restaurants, and drugstores.
At first, the great record companies worried that jukeboxes would provoke a decline in record sales, but just the opposite happened.
The intention of this jukebox is to show some kind of music that many people simply don't know.
Once big bands, jazz orchestras and jazz vocalists were everywhere.
Here they ride again.
Thank you for listening.
