Morning coffee

Same here, blue grass, jazz, blues and big band. So I bought a big band CD on Ebay for my last road trip and it came with three CDs. My friend was headed to Santa Fe last week so I offered to let him take them. He looked at me like I was crazy and laughed and told be his new Escape didn't have a CD player and most new cars don't

he must have bought a cheap standard version of that car, so he doesn't even have CD...poor guy 
I have a sweet and crazy band here for you. ties it all together. A hint of RhythmnBlues, C&W, Swing, Jazz, a bit of Rockabilly. Don't know what to call it but they are great !

Yea, a lot of cars sold nowadays don't have CD players anymore. They are all wired for bliuetooth or for internet radio.
I still like to take my CD's with me. I have everything from Johann Strauss Jr. (I LOVE Blue Danube) to my 50's and 60's rock, to Dave Brubeck, to Taj Mahal and much more.
What Big Band CD set did you buy on E-Bay?

[hiball3985]

I love acoustic music, I still listen to Jorma Kaukonen ( HOT TUNA ) remember them?

I still have 500+ 60-70s vinyl and a turn table 

[djfordmanjack]

You guys know how to ROCK !
brilliant music !
I gotta go for some sleep now, or we would entertain the night away. let's talk about vinyl tomorrow Jim !
Next time you see your friend with the new car, you hand him a 7" record, and when he puts on some weird look, you tell thim that if his car hasn't even a cd player, it at least should have a record player. No ? 

[mustang6984]

As do I. Over 3200 records...1800+ of country from the late 50's through the early 80's. Then there is show tunes, swing, (country and jazz) Big Band and 50's/60's Rock and Roll! Plus old style Christmas and Broadway tunes.

This one was shot at the Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-In located in Issaquah WA on I-90 east of Seattle by about 45 miles or so at the base of Mt. Rainier. Been there several times. During the summer it is a car show haven...nearly every weekend is a car show.

They get airplay on a community radio station KNKX or the stations web station www.Jazz24.org & you can also pick up www.KNKX.org as well (formerly KPLU) I generally listen all across the country when I am Branson bound or heading the opposite way. Gotta love smartphones and Bluetooth boxes! LOL!!!

Don't get me started Have a good night

Hugh, don't know what music you're into, but as soon as you moved in you should check your own Branson , MO 'The Petersens'.
They are just terrific and I think they go to show that even today there at least can be some good music around.

Just now listened to the links you sent out, along with some of their other stuff. Great family...excellent entertainers. Typical of the sort of things you find in Branson.
When the day comes you get to come out...you can stay with us and we'll tour the town! 

[djfordmanjack]

who knows, one of these days
It would be dream for me to one day make an East - West road trip in a 57 Ford wagon on country roads ( ie small roads, not necessarily Country Music roads ). At this point I am a long way from that due to business and family obligations and financial reasons, but who knows. We can dream, can't we ?
They Day I'll leave New England, heading West, I'll most probably have this song on the play list, starting early morning, have some donuts and hot coffee and listen to the Y block purring and watching those sweet pine trees go bye from the wraparound windshield of my 57 Ford...lets get rolling !

My records are only half of what I use to have, the ex wife got the other half 

[mustang6984]

The guy knew how to bend the strings didn't he? Too bad he didn't have more recording success. But according to his bio he did well as a writer.
