Tommy Dorsey

Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", due to his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technicality with the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was vastly admired by other musicians, however, for his technical skill on his instrument. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. more »

Yes, I'll go back home this summer Should have gone there long ago I wonder who I'll meet when I walk up Main Street Who'll yell the first hello

Guess I'll go back home this summer. Mom will cry when I walk in. She'll brush away a tear as Dad says, look who's here. We're glad you're home again.

After we've talked of everything, then I'll get a restless spell. I'll walk by the house where she used to live. I hope she married well.

Yes, I'll go back home this summer. Leave this daily grind behind. There's nothing wrong, I'm sure, that going home won't kill. I'll find my peace of mind.

Do they have the same old school house? Do they ring the same old bell? I wonder if old Gus still runs the jitney bus. Is there a new hotel?

Yes, I'll go back home this summer. Home sweet home's my favorite song. Those folks will always be the heart and soul of me. I've stayed away.
