USO, no

I'm not sure that I would say that Shaw worked for the USO. Many bands volunteered to play USO shows during WWII (eg: Benny Goodman). Shaw actually served in the Navy (albeit in a band unit). They spent almost 18 months touring the south pacific playing for troops (sometimes as many as four shows a day). They apparently also saw some combat in Guadacanal (sp). Shaw was given a medical discharge (probably due to physical and emotional exhaustion).

Some good information is here: http://www.artieshaw.com/bio.html

Edited great hits

Removed "Temptation" from a list of Artie Shaw hits. It doesn't rise to the same level as Beguine, Frenesi, etc. Good song tho. (Listening to it now). --SeanO 03:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Band remotes?

The article says, "Shaw did many band remotes." I presume this means the band played in some location and was listened to by radio at some other particular venue, but I'm not sure. Can someone spell it out a bit more clearly for the uninitiated, or link appropriately? —Christian Campbell 11:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion. Okay, to respond to this, I created a page on Big band remote, inserted link on Artie Shaw page and will add to the new page in the future. Pepso2 (talk) 15:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Summit Ridge Drive

This was not, as stated here, a big band number but a Gramercy Five number from c. 1940.
