I don’t, but I like it.
I like Hot Club.

Love it! I played tenor sax in high school band, and we played a lot of swing music. This was back in the early '60s, and the entire student body and faculty loved it. Nowadays I listen to more folk and bluegrass music than anything else, and play guitar and 5-string banjo, but I occasionally tune in to the Junction channel on Sirius. Without a doubt my favorite swing era band would have to be Glenn Miller’s.
A former boss was commander and conductor of the USAF band, and I have some of their hard-to-find CDs with some great swing-era arrangements. I also got to hear the band perform as Miller’s, complete with period USAAF uniforms.
Hmm;
The Andrews Sisters and who could forget Kate Smith, specially her heartfelt " God Bless America". That music was a standard in our German-Sicilian household. Along with Frank S.and others.
Because of them, “Family” I took Music lessons. Piano, Accordian and Trumpet. Settled on a Classical Acoustic Guitar though. Grandfather(Sicilian) had a rule though. At least one night we had to listen to Mario Lanza and Enrico Caruso!
that’s really cool.
Ever hear of the Air Force Band Good Timers?
Mom would play some of the big bands and singers from the era 55-60 years ago. The vinyl is long gone of course.
The mention of Spike Jones brought back the memory of a high school math teacher I had in about 68-69. He had a console stereo/turntable in the classroom. Once in awhile, after be gave us our work, he’d put on an album. Always will remember, Dinner music for people not very hungry. Was one of the favorites of the class, sure made the class go faster. Today that would get a teacher fired on the spot. Went looking and ordered a copy on CD.
In some ways the younger generations have missed out on some of the better things in life. Of course I’m almost 69, and can’t stand anything much past 1980, and rap/hip-hop drives me up a wall after about 5 seconds.
Yhat’s why I have my own collection of music on CDs. I even transferred my 8=tracks and tapes onto discs.
There’s only a couple music stations I would bother listeneng to.
Yeah, when I’m out in the Equinox, no CD player. I have a classic rock station on (60’s-70’s). In the Cherokee with a CD player either classic rock, same vintage, or select country. Tony Keith, Lynn Anderson, Joe Diffe and others in the same vein. Some folk from Peter, Paul and Mary, Mama’ s and Papa’s, some Irish folk… Unicorn is a favorite. Some classical lately as my lady listened to it…she was a musician.
Looking at the above, I seem to have an eclectic streak.
