- Musicians Bob Warnaar and Doug Baker reminisce about the big bands that performed in and around Grand Haven during the war years. Their discussion includes Bob Warnaar's Big Band, Grand Haven's Jackie Band, Frank Lockage's band, the Eagle Ottawa tannery band, the Charlie Bird Band, the local Elks concert band and many others. Their performances took them to Central Park, the Hyland Gardens, the Armory, the waterfront, and most memorably, the Fruitport Pavilion, the area's premiere entertainment spot.
