I fell in love with that music. and I always related more to it than to my own 'swingin' sixties' sounds.<br /><br />I loved johnny mathis... nat king cole... bing crosby... perry como... frank and dean of course. and I knew all the words.<br /><br />I was always out of step with my own generation. although I absolutely ADORED ricky nelson!!! I think it was the eyes! LOLOL.<br />as I got older I discovered the paris bistro music of the 20's and 30's and I love those too. back when paris was THE place for all artists and writers. thank you for these WONDERFUL posts!!!! xoxo♥tammy jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568939993585811311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-88541064599364743802015-07-30T20:21:43.219-07:002015-07-30T20:21:43.219-07:00I grew up with The Glenn Miller Band blaring out o...I grew up with The Glenn Miller Band blaring out of my granny's big stereo, 'member those, they were as big as a dresser....... such sweet memories!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904951944531580443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-58803001974056066802015-07-30T19:40:13.570-07:002015-07-30T19:40:13.570-07:00I've so enjoyed this vintage series..and in so...I've so enjoyed this vintage series..and in so many ways I feel the same way...I am an old soul and love all vintage things as sacred.

I love Big Band music too-- probably because I grew up watching old movies from Hollywood's Golden Age, where everyone wore fabulous clothes with background music by Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey et al-- and, if it was a musical, they danced to wonderful music composed by George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and other greats wearing fabulous clothes. My mom was a big fan of Frank Sinatra, so I grew up listening to a lot of ol' blue eyes, and actually have a couple compilations of his songs, as well as my favorite album of his, Come Fly With Me, that I listen to constantly in my car. Thanks for sharing.

Big Band, 50's & 60's with the 40's mixed in and then I love some old gospel too. Show tunes and solo piano are among my favorites too. Of course the Beatles are right at the top as well. Love Buddy Holly and when we lived in Lubbock, Tx there is a large statue of him in town with a museum. Loved the movie about his life.<br />Thanks for sharing. Have a nice evening and weekend ahead. cm<br /><br />Celestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-44542027870184081112015-07-30T14:06:25.887-07:002015-07-30T14:06:25.887-07:00I agree with all of you, the music of today has no...I agree with all of you, the music of today has nothing compared to the old music.

'Chances are...if I wear a silly grin, the moment you come into viewwwwwwww...chances are you'll think that I'm in love with youuuuuu'. Smooth as silk. Of course, those lyrics pale in comparison to today's music. Especially Nicki Minaj. 'You a hoe, you da hoe, yeah you a hoe, you a hoe'. Now THAT'S music.

I also love the oldies - my parents would put albums on the stereo after dinner and many times our dad would dance with us girls. My love of 40's music came from them. Then when my dad lived with us when my mother died back in the 80's...he would listen to music all the time - the one that he would listen to so much and I got so tired of was Englebert Humperdink. Still can't listen to it to this day. But I loved Willy Nelson which he was play a lot.sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-63504894293831622012015-07-30T10:35:32.343-07:002015-07-30T10:35:32.343-07:00Rue, Jess just bought me 'Volare' by Dean...Rue, Jess just bought me 'Volare' by Dean Martin, and I love it.

It is funny about music getting stuck in our heads at an early age!

My parents liked Perry Como, Nat King Cole, and Tennessee Ernie Ford, among others, so I have a fondness for them as well.. Oddly enough, because they didn't like Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and Dean Martin, I don't enjoy listening to them either. Weird.

I got to attend Sir Paul's concert and I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. One of my greatest loves, Ray Charles...and so so so sorry I never had the chance to see him in person.<br />Buddy Holly was from our town and his museum here is really great. <br />xoxo<br /><br />Yes, music from the 50's thru the 80's ...love it.bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-82131375259070102882015-07-29T22:23:17.787-07:002015-07-29T22:23:17.787-07:00Couldn't sleep, got up to check emails and the...Couldn't sleep, got up to check emails and then saw you had another vintage post.
