My New Hero

You have been such an inspiration to me. The deep disappointment was shared by us all. It was pure joy to see you reconstruct the Rollermatic and slay the devil of bad luck. I chuckle when I see you on the go cart and the songs of the 50's and 60's seem to go along with the memories of salvaging parts of lawn mowers and washing machines to make a traveling heap. Thank you for the link, the happy song and another glimpse of who you are.
 
when you figure out who i am

please let me know! half the time i don't have a clue!

but i do love anything associated with the 60's, especially the early to mid sixties. this song reminds me of debbie reynolds, elizabeth taylor, doris day, marilyn ofcourse, the ronnettes, judy, eydie who sang it, and all those marvelous pink and turquoise washers and dishwashers that we all love to collect!

it was a magical period of our history and my life that i am so grateful that i was able to experience, even if i was a kid! i think it was better that i was a kid! it means more to me now!

being a sober member of AA for 12 years i am constantly reminded that i have to "live for today" and "only have today" but i'm sorry i cannot or will not give up my childhood memories of washers and movie stars and the beatles and dishwashers and amusement parks and songs that inspre me even today!

thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!
 
Great Song!

Eydie always was a splendid singer. Here's a link to a fine duet with Steve Lawrence (who else?) . . . in this case it's a great cover version of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, a grunge-rock anthem of the '90s. While the original is very nice, it's truly amazing to hear what two real lounge professionals can do to make it ever so much more beautiful. And when Eydie sings the line "no one sings like you anymore" to Steve, you know she really means it!

Too cool! Makes me forget it's February and want to break out the patio lanterns and Tiki torches!!
 
Uh-Oh

Bossa Novas and Sambas, with a strong jazz influence, is by far my favorite type of music. I may go a little crazy with the youtube clips : D

 
Volcano! Six stars!

Other things to look for, and I can't find on YouTube yet.
Patrica-David Carrol and his Orchestra
Tequila-Stan Kenton
Caravan-The Three Suns

100 Club

Dan, fantastic videos, love it!

Also reminded me of something I miss and you just don't see nowadays (in the 100 club video): the fast-motion camera blur between cuts.

terrific! -Cory
 
Somebody knows Korla Pandit!

Hey Gary, I guess you can't play it on your computer either?
I was able to watch DVDs on mine, but one day, the program was eliminated but I can still play my CDs.
And once again, Korla Pandit is considered the Godfather Of Exotica, and I would think some organ fans would find him interesting.
 
Those are some great vids and music!

I love the lounge sound! I have never heard Volcano, but that is now a new favorite. So here's a bit of Samba, animation and Ethel Smith. Heaven knows what they were smoking or drinking when they did the animation for this one!

 
My sister would be mesmerized by Korla Pandit's show back in the golden age of TV.

Wow Dan, you are really into the "classics" from the cocktail era. That's the stuff that was wafting out of our hi-fi when I was growing up, from long play records or just about anywhere on the FM dial.
 
"That's the stuff that was wafting out of our hi-fi when I was growing up, from long play records or just about anywhere on the FM dial."

Yeah......rub in a little harder, won't ya? LOL ;>) I have spent two and half decades trying to acquire a mediocre amount of those great, (now) hard to find tunes. It wasn't until 2004 when blogs started getting popular, that I was able to really build up the collection. I was born in the wrong !@#$%^& era!!! Been sayin that since I was 7 years old.....minus the profanity at the younger ages, lol.
 
I don't like watching movies on my computer since I would have to sit at my desk so I didn't even think to see if it will play. I'll try to remember to give it a go this weekend. The only reason I have the DVD is that I ordered an organ DVD from a Lowrey artist and the Korla DVD was sent as a free bonus.
