One beautiful story after another......how nice it is to feel like you are sitting in someone's living room in St. John while they share stories of life in St.John from their perspective or from their friends'. Every page makes you want to go back to this incredible place in paradise. Gerald Singer has written many wonderful books on St.John but this compilation is by far his best......must reading for those of us who know St. John.....must reading for those of us who would like to know St. John......light and easy......just like their winds....

This book by John Sforza is an excellent introduction to the famous Andrews Sisters. However, there is very little detail on the personal lives of the sisters and the biography portion is treated more as a magazine chronology than a detailed biography. But, as Mr. Sforza points out, there is precious little written material on this fantastic trio. What the book lacks for in biography, it more than mkes up for in reference material. The appendices in the back of the book indclude detailed chronology on the Andrews Sisters' radio, film, recording and television careers.

I do recommend this book to anyone who is interested in music and strongly wish that some more detailed biographical material may be forthcoming in the near future.

I was so excited to finally find a book about the legendary Andrews Sisters--the songbirds I fell in love with ever since I saw them in some early Abbott and Costello films. Their music is timeless and this book is a fantastic companion for any fan. A must for your bookshelf. The compiled discography and film and TV appearance log is an invaluable reference, and the book is lovingly assembled as well. I wish there were more quotes from surviving Patty Andrews but I get the feeling the author was not allowed access to the aging crooner. Very few people have gotten the true story behind the Andrews Sisters and this book finally lays it all out in a very interesting and friendly manner. At last, a book on these gals. Some great photos, as well. It made me want more. Bravo, Mr. Sforza.

A factual, interesting, & entertaining read on the seldom written Andrews Sisters. As the first of its kind it offers a wealth of information on the very popular vocal group who surpassed Elvis & the Beatles on the billboard charts. Lots of great photos with Crosby, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Abbott & Costello, Joey Bishop, Red Skelton & "STOOGE" Shemp Howard. Not a tell all by any means but an insightful look into the personal relationship of the sisters by a dedicated fan. Says the Seattle Times in the December 12, 1999 issue, "in addition to thoroughly documenting the Andrews Sisters' musical contribution - and especially their importance during World War II - "Swing It" is also an invaluable record of the pop-music business before rock, before huge arena shows...a time when the musical talents of performers were more important than those of the electronic geniuses that record them. John Sforza has written a readable account of their careers...an impressive amount of detailed research went into this book." Customer reviews that have been posted thus far seem a bit off the mark especially if the reader lived during that exciting era. Lots of nostalgic memories & interesting analysis throughout. Recommended to put you "In the Mood."

The book is anything but teaching how to use matlab. Instead, the book is simply a collection of signals and systems problem set. And answers to questions are NOT given in the book. Nor is there any solved examples. Good job!

Each Section has a MatLab command it starts with. Explains the command, then puts it to use. A very good Sig and Sys MatLab book.
