Big Band Music

I will never willingly give up my Contemporary Christian Music, but since my mother-in-law moved in with us, I starting to appreciate big band music.
The music from the 30’s and 40’s is a lot different than the music we listen to today. Instead of a band behind the singer, it’s a full orchestra. It’s upbeat and easy to dance to. I find myself dancing along as I’m dusting or straightening up the living room.
It’s rather enjoyable, but the minute I’m alone I switch it back to MY music.
We all have our preferences.

@BettyB I usually listen in my car whenever I go anywhere. I keep forgetting I live alone and can listen to it in the house whenever I want. I could before too, but I was always courteous to my son. I love KLOVE, but it doesn't come in very well in the house. It comes in great in the car. There is another okay Christian station I listen to in the house.

I myself wonder what I will do with those vinyls when I move to a smaller house.

@JolietJake I know you would. I would give them all to you. Free. But shipping is the problem. I don´t know if there still is a cheaper shipping that takes longer time.

Unfortunately none of us have a means of playing the old albums. My brother is going to see about selling the lot. I when my mother in law wants to listen to music, I turn on the Big Band Chanel on Direct TV.

@sueznewz2 It's different. It's fun to listen to in small doses.

I love big band music, swing, and "western swing" that migrated to country music from swing. I love having my iPod on shuffle, because it'll go from "Where No One Stands Alone" to "London Calling" to "Minor Swing" to "Dancing Queen" without me doing a thing!
