This is another one that satisfies! :D

The vocalist here is Bob Crosby who began singing in the early 1930s with several bands, here he is with Anson Weeks.

Bob and brother Bing.

Definitely a favorite of late. No better kind of music in God's big world than 40's - 60's country.

And this song, which I just discovered, so happens to be the darndest story of my life.

I am listening to...

"The White Star Line Songbook" - an album of music recorded by the chamber-music orchestra I Salonisti.

The album is comprised of four dozen tracks selected from original Edwardian-era songbooks that were provided to grand ocean-liners of the day...particularly, the RMS Titanic.

It's wonderfully relaxing music.

Current track is one that people who love "The Mills Brothers" might recognise, from 1902:

"The Glow-Worm".

mmmmm....I wish there were more funk bands out there.

LD

She's playing my town in NC on the 26th, gonna see if I can round up anyone to go with me... (most my local friends have young kids now though, & are hard to get out of the house) LD, I'm sure you're already well aware of the Black Dynamite Sound Orchestra; Adrian Younge is a multi-instrumentalist Genius of Funk, playing & arranging; even uses vintage vacuum tube recording equipment from as far back as the 1930's to record with, just like the original low-budget street-corner studios of the 1960s did - Great Stuff...

Now it's 1934

...and respectable people can enjoy hot music once again. Jazz Prohibition was never law and lasted only 2 years, but was just as draconian as the Federal kind.

In A Mist (Bixology) - Frank Trumbauer & Orch., February. Tasty and appropriately modern(e) treatment of the piano classic for a mini-Whiteman ensemble. Tram is not heard from, but Artie Shaw may be on clarinet.

Satan's Holiday - Joe Venuti Blue 4, September. Joe and Frank Victor (his guitar partner after Eddie Lang) with a group they worked with on a British tour.

Royal Garden Blues - Wingy Mannone & Orch. (yes they called it an orch.), October. Sophisticated Dixieland of the kind that would soon be known as "jam." Largely N'orlinian personnel, too.

Me To Tady Nebavi = I'm Tired Of This Place

That's my favorite of Havelka's Czech songs.

It All Depends On You (Czech)

To quote Monty Python, and now for something completely different...

Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville -- Au Clair De La Lune (1860)

Herman Kenin's "Persian Rug" 1928 vocalist Van Fleming .... all of them completely and utterly forgotten today, of course.

I like very much the arrangement in this musical composition.
