Totally agree. What's funny is one of my best friends from high school and still a close friend today is named Glenn Miller. Moonlight Serenade is about as perfect as it gets. I also like Begin the Beguin by Artie Shaw. Unbelievable, but I own all of these songs. And, I don't recall ever hearing my parents listening to this music; however, my mother often talked about seeing in-person Kay Kyser and his orchestra. His music was not among my favorites.

That's a funny co-incidence with your friend. :)

It is also a weird co-incidence that I own all this music too, but my parents never played, nor mentioned it, ever, until the last couple years. So weird, because I've loved this music forever and praise the internet came along so I could research and find the original versions and the songs I love best. Kay Kaiser, oddly enough, is not in my collection either. :)

Terrific era of music.

Bobby Short sings Cole Porter

Click to expand...


I love Cole Porter Music and the entire genre known as the American Songbook. This one was not a song that I was overly familiar with and I am not sure that I care for Bobby Short that much, but I loved the accompanying video. And, what makes that strange is that I am not a Woody Allen fan. But I love this type of music with scenes of people in love. I am a bit on the sappy side as I love movies like Sleepless in Seattle and Forget Paris. And I love the music that comes from those movies. As the main character in Sleepless says about love.... "It's magic." And that it is. Thanks Dan.

ZZ Top ~ Master of Sparks. Its from the 1973 album Tres Hombres. The song tells a true story. Back in the day in Texas the fellas from ZZ Top had some friends who built a round metal cage that they would strap themselfs into and roll it out of the back of a pickup at high speeds down the highway. Hench the name master of sparks. Freakin crazy ain't it. Anyway listen to the lyrics. ZZ Top is cooler en hell :rock



High-Class Slim came floatin' in,
down from the county line.
Just gettin' right on Saturday night,
ridin' with some friends of mine.
They invited me to come and see
just what was on their minds --
And then I took my first long look
at the Master of Sparks on high.

In the back of Jimmy's Mack
stood a round steel cage
welded into shape by Slim,
made out of seven-gauge.
"How fine," they cried, "now with you inside,
strapped in there safe and sound."
I thought, "My oh my, how the sparks would fly
if that thing ever hit the ground."

Slim was so pleased when I had eased
into his trap of death.
He had slammed the door, but he said no more
and I thought I'd breathed my last breath.
We was out in the sticks down Highway Six
and the crowd was just about right.
The speed was too, so out I flew,
like a stick of rollin' dynamite.

When I hit the ground you could hear the sound
and see the sparks a country mile.
End over end I began to spin
but the ball started runnin' wild.
But it was too late as I met my fate
and the ball started gettin' hot.
But through the sparks and the flame I knew how the claim
of the Master of Sparks was got.

~ Billy Gibbons

Actually I am not sure if they pushed it out of the truck or chained it to the truck. Anyway Billy Gibbons claimed the story was true in a 1976 interview in sound magazine.
