Hey Lon; That is an interesting POV. If this is your premise; that there was some sort of lingering Big Band fan base that would have morphed into a merge between rockabilly and swing if it wasn't for guys like Bobby Rydell or say Paul Anka. Am I getting this right?
And are you saying the consumers of music were manipulated into the supporting of 50's schlock music?
How did the returning vets from WW 2 and Korea who drove the recorded music scene of that era play into this scenario?
And why swing? Why not say they would have created a genre' comprised of the combination of Country and pop?
