I've been listening to later Johnny Dollar shows for a while, just for company while cleaning and [trying to] study auditing. Now I've got the 1959 Pepsi jingle in my head. "Stay young and fair and debonair, Be sociable - have a Pepsi!"
Trying to wake up with my second cup of tea, and listening to Annette Hanshaw singing "We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye." One of those tunes where the lyricist was probably drinking something stronger than tea -- "The chair and the sofa, they broke right down and cried," indeed.
Next up -- a singing commercial for Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Remember the name of Lydia Pinkham -- whose ...
Cole Porter, Anything Goes.... 1934 recording with VBince Giordano and The Nighthawks. For some reason Cole Porter is the penultimate representative of the glamourous times for me.

Well, truthfully the last thing I've been listening to is rather non-vintage, being the Fellowship of the Rings soundtrack. But one can never go wrong with Howard Shore, can they?
The last vintage track I listened to was Dick Haymes performing Skylark, and generally being a dreamboat.
By the way, I am always tickled when others voice such an appreciation for the perfection that is Stardust...

That is a great track. He has such a distinctive way with a song.

A distinctive way is certainly one way of putting it. I've always though he transcends simply singing a song. Forgive the flowery descriptives, but each time I listen to him it is a true experience. His voice has an ...

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You . Not the Tommy Dorsey theme everyone knows, but the same tune by Benny Goodman's 1934 band. With lyrics, and just slow instead of ultra-slow - Tommy always played it half-time.

78s to wait for the Xmas Eve Headache Pills to kick in by -- Now playing, Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra in 1937, snapping things up "Quicker Than You Can Say Jack Robinson." No reference intended to a certain future Dodger infielder, who was still in high school at the time. And who probably really hated this song. Next up, following a commercial for Colgate Dental Cream, which cleans your breath while it cleans your teeth,...

I am currently listening to a cd I put together of the Mills Brothers and filled in the rest with Dean Martin. One of the things that few people know is that Dean patterns his regular singing style after one of the Mills brothers. (I don't recall their names but it's the one guy that is the largest in the group.) Christmas Greetings one and all! A-tu four-ay, a-tu door-ay, Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day!
Whenever people say "What are you listening... Whenever people say "What are you listening to?" while I've got headphones on, I'm never listening to anything I want to admit to. 9:20 PM Sep 8th from web
