How old you want to go? How about circa 750 AD?

I just got speakers. where's that dancing banana smilie? Maybe I should clarify. I truly live in the middle of nowhere. I'm on dial up.

It's not that I'm cheap. It's we don't have it. To give you an example of how primitive. Trying to get a cell phone signal where I live involves something to do with Stone Henge and sacrificing something under the full moon.

So I am hearing what you are posting for the first time.

Just amazing.

Wow. Thank you.

No one has hit Louis. The man was awesome.

this good too... Bunny Berigan -I Can't Get Started With You-1937


Bunny Berigan - I Can't Get Started - YouTube

I love it Skye! He works the trumpet. I had never heard of him but found out he died young, age 33. This song has been used in several movies too.

Dreamy thank you! you know about good music! It's nice to find somebody here who knows about Bunny!! This is good stuff!

Berigan was a phenomenal musician...

terrific trumpeter... pretty darn good vocalist...

but, more'n that, many of his musical arrangements are as fresh today as they were more'n 70 years ago...

all that, plus the way he tragically died young due to substance abuse, would almost seem to make him my parents' generation's version of Hendrix...

another terrific trumpeter... and remarkable vocalist...

with a small back-up combo replacing the orchestra...
