The Sweet Sound Of 1930s & 1940s Big Band Orchestra Music @KPAX41

[@eddtwohig6663]

i am 92 years and when I listen this music , I dance. And sometimes with another senior.. i feel great symphony for the youngsters who do not experience the passion of close bodies and love for all. The loss pf music and feeling for another close body is heart breaking. Dance and feel.

Hello Sir. My age is only 69. I enjoy music of your era, as well as other times. A few decades ago, I heard a recording of Fred Astaire singing Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek." Such a good song that reflects your sentiment as well. "Yes, heaven, I'm in heaven; And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak; And I seem to find the happiness I seek, When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek." Here's to you, music, and happy memories.

When I do watch its usually dvds of Mash or older TV shows. I feel that I was born in the wrong era.

[@billdyke9745]

But had you been born in the 30s or 40s you wouldn't be watching Mash... Revel in the recordings that are available to you. It's a privilege that has not been there for all that long.

I too play my "electrically recorded" 1925 and later 78's on my acoustic record player but mine is mid 20's Victor "Orthophonic" Credenza model made to play early electrical records with amazing fidelity! Get hold of one to play your late 20's and all 30's record on. You will get so much more enjoyment out of your records than simply playing them on a pre- 1925 wind up phonograph.

[@michaelschabow2911]

Handy secret from an old disc jockey: As you play them, drizzle rubbing alcohol very lightly right on the record. It fills in the scratches and makes the sound better. The alcohol dries and does not harm the record.

Oh to be able to turn back time to a time of modesty, morals, and manners. When the simple sight of a young ladies ankles would cause a young mans heart to flutter. When men had great self esteem and self worth and dignity. Even in old photos of the breadlines of the 20s, men still wore a suit, tie, derby, and overcoat. When was last time someone under the age of 30 passing you on the street simply said hello. Don Rickles said it best in the 80s when referring to Don Johnson and the show Miami Vice. "Today people think that wearing a suite jacket with a tee shirt is fashionable, when i was growing up we had another word for it...A BUM! 🙂 Totally enjoyed every selection

I'm a Russian woman of 65. I adore this kind of music of 1930-1940. I feel I lived in New York at those times in my previous life

[@bessonbach]

"Last of the Summer Wind" are a ten piece dance band average age 80. We meet once a week to play for our own pleasure with a music library of several hundred dance tunes like this from "back in the day" and love to keep this live music alive.

I normally music ended around 1950. I loved the Disco, New Wave and Punk movements because it was dance music for me, but this is the music I love. .

The music of the great dance band era of 1925-60 remains (for me) the time that produced the best pop music ever.

[@bradkennett7504]

Funny, think about this, I'd rather listen to 30s and 40's all the time,, course growing up listing to music on the farm coming out of that big radio made of beautiful American craftsmanship ship. Well, I still have both The farm burned down in the earlier 80s 8:33 . As I was told by my favorite uncle, remember the fire can't erase memories. Thank you.

I remember when I took my dad in 1993 for a ride in my new ford explorer and I had glen miller tape in he said wow what's this his generation music !!!

[@mlester3001]

Love this! This is the music my parents and grandparents listened to but that I have never heard. They are gone and I am now older. A real blessing to hear. Thank you!

[@Kinseydsp]

YES INDEED..

[@pamelagirhr2920]

Love this old stuff I'm 61 and this music takes me back to watching my grandfather playing in his band....in the war my grandfather entertained the troops

[@frankcantafio3638]

This is my Moms era of music. She has passed so THANK YOU for bringing back the memories!

[@владимирмочалов-я1р]

[@elzekyehi8899]

My Grandfather used to listen to music like this , brings back Great memories 👍🤠😸

[@thatguy1060]

New Year's Eve 2022. I wish the American culture represented by this music was where we are headed for 2023.

[@winnerscreed6767]

Agree, we wouldn't be in this mess we've allowed ourselves to get into.

[@williamdemourajose5163]

Who happens saw "Midnight in Paris" will understand my case. All those songs were in the mood about 15/20 years before I was born. And I simply love it all as if I lived those years. It feels like life was much easier in terms of social values, although there were other sort of difficulties. And I strongly feel that spirit in my soul. Greetings from Brasil.

This era of music ALWAYS makes me think of Laurel and Hardy because it was the first time i ever heard this style of music.

[@thomaspaulfrazier4959]

I love the music of this period‼️👍🏼‼️ It reflects the optimism that everyone really needed after the Great Depression at the end of the 1920’s‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ It has the ability to lift one’s spirits and reminds us that love, romance, and the successful search for companionship and real relationships‼️🙏🏼👍🏼🥲💖🤣👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ As a history educator I try to use the optimism and hope to inspire my students after the last four years of uninspired political leadership where the civilian job opportunities were almost at depression levels‼️🙏🏼🙄😱😵‍💫🥴😖🙏🏼‼️ Some students were looking at the military, as the only full employment opportunity⁉️🙏🏼🥲🙄😲🥴😖🙏🏼⁉️ With new inspiration, a greater sense of hope that positive music brings, an improved attitude very much like the 1930’s had, pumps a new level of sparkle in their eyes that is truly noticeable‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖😃😊🤗🤣💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️ One comment that I’ve heard is, “You can even understand the words they’re singing‼️” I that you for producing such powerful and inspiring collections of real music that still has everything that it did several generations ago‼️🙏🏼👍🏼💖👍🏼🙏🏼‼️

[@petertaylor3600]

Don't forget that on the heels of the Depression came WW2. Which was the reason the Depression ended. One followed another. So, they listened to this and felt cheered.

[@Весна-ъ9й]

I was born in 1971,but sometimes listened to this kind of music, tried to play in piano at school, read about how it was founded, so I feel like i live now in America of 40,50s

[@rodgeng3375]

18 years old and I can see the huge difference how the music today writes lyrics, play the instruments and how people sing compared to before and I proud to say I'm favoring the older music rather than present. These may be old and many people forget these masterpieces, but I have this saying, "Old is nothing, but Gold".🎺🎹🎷📻🎙🍷🎖

[@russellross1523]

OMG! I can actually understand what they are singing about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, easy listening. Thank you for posting. Housework goes faster when listening. BTW, tried the kissing game with wife. Fun ensued. Thx KPAX41!

[@davidparker2173]

I was born in 51, so this all came before me, but I tuned into this to understand the era. It's all relative you know, primarily sold to younguns with their hopeless romantic ideals, and fixations, with an occasional great mind who enters into it's vacuous void, but that too is to be expected, when you realize that nature abhors a vacuum. Benny Goodman appears something of a phenom when you see what he did with a clarinet, at least it showed up in the movie I saw of him in where he played his instrument on top of a building deep in a summer night. Tonight I'm just a kid living in the 30s, and 40s, and man, I'm digging the wild sounds here. 23 skidoo!

[@yupedin5548]

hearing this music is so calming and I enjoy this era very much. even though i'm only 16, i truly wish i could be born in this amazing era of music.

[@jetpilot3714]

There’s something very grounding about music from this era.

[@lilfoxymama2013]

the loss pf music and feeling for another close body is heart breaking

[@sparkiev.9827]

I myself am 50 years old and grew up in the 80's and at that time I only heard music like this when I would watch movies with my grandparents in which was too far and few memories of visiting once a year and now I have such a great appreciation of this music remembering the movies of such simpler times and of love, actual true love portrayed in those movies. Great thanks and love to my grandparents to whom made these memories and love of this music possible.
