This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I must have been born after my time. I love the older music. I'm listening to Robert Goulet at the moment. I love Mel Torme, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, and Johnny Mathis. Let's not forget Ella Fitzgerald; she does every song better than other performers. She makes her music sound effortless. I'm not a Sinatra fan. And Perry Como sings so slow, you want to fall asleep even in your favorite song. I think I like the older songs because they were romantic sounding, and you can sing along. The words were something you could understand. Apparently, others agree, because these songs reappear in the movies from time to time. Even in this modern age, some of the old songs just say it best. Big band sounds will stay around forever, but not so many big bands. It's expensive to pay that many musicians, I have my own repertoire that I sing fairly regularly, when no one is listening. "Fly Me To the Moon", "It's Wonderful, Wonderful", "The Way You Look Tonight", "Chances Are", "Hold Me", "Our Love Is Here To Stay", and "Misty" get me started. If I really want to tackle some tough intervals, I try "Ebb Tide". Then I mix in some newer ones. I guess someday, a person somewhere will marvel that he or she likes The Beatles of The Beach Boys and will mix it up with some old Madonna and Lady Gaga. |
