Dance Band on the “Titanic.”
Hartley and his brave band members wanted the passengers and crew to remain calm and upbeat while getting off the “Titanic” into lifeboats. They continued to play in the cold air even though they knew there was no hope for they themselves to get off.

The Gibson 335 Still Rocks
The Gibson ES 335 was the first in a series of semi-hollow, thin-line acoustic electric guitars. The original electric guitars were hollow bodied and great for the 1940′s and early ’50′s. But when amplification increased these guitars had a tendency to feedback. Fender’s slab guitar and Les Paul’s early version models solved this problem and added great sustain. However, the warm acoustic tones were sacrificed. The ES-335 model came about to find a balance between the warm tone and sustain without feedback.
