1 October 1942...

One of the most outstanding live bands...



(If you're interested, the Lisbon Maru was a freighter used by the Japanese during WWII as a troopship and to transport prisoners-of-war between China and Japan. It sank in 1942 when it was targeted by USS Grouper (SS-214). On board, there was almost 2,000 British prisoners of war who had been captured after the fall of Hong Kong in December 1941 but unfortunately the ship did not have the appropriate signs to indicate to allied forces who was onboard. When the boat sank, many died and those who tried to swim away from the wreckage were shot by the Japanese, resulting in about 800 to 850 deaths. So there you go. Nice little story.)
