520    "At 101 years of age, Louise Tobin is one of the last 
       surviving musicians of the Swing Era in American music. 
       She performed with such notables as Benny Goodman, Harry 
       James (who was her first husband), Louis Armstrong, Johnny
       Mercer, Lionel Hampton, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and 
       Fletcher Henderson. In this absorbing biography, historian
       Kevin Mooney offers readers a view of a remarkable life in
       music, told from the vantage point of the woman who lived 
       it. Born in Aubrey, Texas, in 1918, Mary Louise Tobin says
       of herself, "I fell out of my cradle singing. I never did 
       proper things; I just sang." She was singing in her Denton
       County church by age seven, and before she was ten, her 
       voice graced the radio advertisements for Metzger's Milk, 
       airing on WDAG in the Texas Panhandle. By age sixteen, she
       was singing professionally at the Palace Theatre in 
       Dallas. Based on extensive oral history interviews and 
       archival research, "Texas Jazz Singer: Louise Tobin in the
       Golden Age of Swing and Beyond" recaptures both the 
       glamour and the challenges of life on the road and onstage
       during the golden age of swing and beyond. With a 
       trajectory that took her from Denton, Texas, to New York, 
       to Hollywood and back again, Louise Tobin's story traces 
       the major outlines of American music during the twentieth 
       century"--|cProvided by publisher.
