Music Monday: Sing, Sing, Sing!

Good morning!

Today we are going to keep it short and sweet, because there isn't much I can say that will better this bad boy video.

The best comment I've heard about this song (you can still see it on the YouTube site) is simply:
"This [song] makes music nowadays sound pathetic."

Get ready for the best five minutes of your day (and I'm not kidding). Boys and girls, it's Benny Goodman, a bandleader otherwise known as "The King Swing" and his tune "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)":


I don't know about you, but when I hear good music I start to tingle. Let's just say this piece gets my toes full out tickled. When I was young, my Dad used to pop the old Benny Goodman cassette tape into the tape deck in the car and my sibling, my Father and I would all bop along to our destination.

Only now do I realize how invaluable that bopping was.

Thanks Dad, we had a blast with Benny.

Oh, and pop music, better luck next time!

Have you started cursing the ways of the new and modern? Do you want all that noise turned down?

I hate to admit it, but noise makes me crabby. Oh well (better luck next time)!

Moving and grooving like I'm five (all over again),

    there is too much noise, i agree. and often lament. as i type from my future-machine, fully aware of the contradictions of loving the old way while fully submersed in the new...
