What are you listening to?

More John Barry--his later Bond scores. Current track being the opener (not to be confused with the pre-titles teaser with the minijet*) from Octopussy...
*Trust me, those birds are tiny! I sat in one in a museum, and getting me out was like trying to pull a large Spam out of a small can and leave both in one piece...

I'm listening to a tune that should be very familiar to anyone who grew up watching Warner Brothers cartoons...

Eddy Duchin and His Orchestra - "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" (1937).

Life can be beautiful.

Those two scare me. I thought it would be neat to try to learn a song by them. About six bars of sheet music later I realized that wasn't a throne I would be ascending to in this lifetime, or next, or possibly the one after that either.


Now Playing:

Duke Ellington - Harlem Airshaft

Just downloaded 25 Beach music tunes to my Ipod. Anybody here know what I mean when I say "Beach Music"?
Yes, but only because I'm a self-taught musicologist.

What makes beach music, and why is it only in your part of the country? (Most beach regions don't have their own music, and if they do, it's not called "beach.") What are the characteristics of the style? How is the music enjoyed, and how are the beaches enjoyed?
