What can I say? Andre Rieu was one of my Mom's favorites. ;)

AM650 WSM, coming to my receiver all the way from Nashville, Tennessee. When I'm DX-ing, I can get it every now and then.

There's just something special about hearing all those steel guitars crying, with the radio interference in the background, and knowing it's being transmitted from the Grand Ole Opry's station; legendary Country-Western's home.

More typical of the era is this Roger Wolfe Kahn side. For something from 80 summers past the fidelity of recording is almost unreal.

Common thread: both of the last 2 sides include Artie Shaw, tho he isn't featured.
This next one will remedy that. (He wasn't yet the King of the Clarinet, but he does good.)

The Fred Rich arrangement was also used years later by the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra
