The Coasters

@edgarblythe,

thanks for restoring our signal, edgar. Your comments are always appreciated.

Don't know Searchin' by The Coasters, but it did bring back some memories.

Here's another original, and the explanation is in the comment section. Love Sir Elton.

good afternoon all !

birthday greetings to Nick LaRocca :

Quote:

Dominic James "Nick" LaRocca (April 11, 1889 – February 22, 1961), was an early jazz cornetist and trumpeter and the leader of the Original Dixieland Jass Band. He is the composer of one of the most recorded jazz classics of all-time, "Tiger Rag". He was part of what is generally regarded as the first recorded jazz band, a band which recorded and released the first jazz recording, "Livery Stable Blues" in 1917

@edgarblythe,

Love that one by The Fab Four, edgar.

So long ago, we played this one for Rockhead's baby grapes, then we dedicated it to Tai Chi avatar.

Eric Coates was on our wireless (radio programmes) an awful lot during the post-war period.

Here's a song fondly remembered from my childhood, "Calling All Workers".

There used to be a programme on the BBC Home Service called "Music While You Work", and this was its theme tune.

I find it miraculous that very old radio shows have been so well preserved and that we find them on youtube.

@McTag,

i listened to " Music While You Work " almost daily - from the end to the war to about 1948 - on the BFN ( British Forces Network ) to enjoy the music and spruce up my English .

here is some more of Eric Coates music that i remember :

The air is a bit heavy here, folks.

hbg, John Hurt tells it like it was, and may be again.

edgar, Thanks for your comments and Woodie Guthrie explains why there were so many robbers. Times were hard. I checked out Pretty Boy Floyd, and now I recall him. Ah, Teresa Brewer. You're right. The oldies were goodies.

McTag, Thanks for that info on the workers. "Hard times come again no more". Let's hope none of us have to do through that again. Music while you work reminds me of "whistle while you work"

Two songs for our listeners here.

First, a birthday guy.

Now, another oldie.

today is the birthday of Franz Lanner - who might becalled the " Early Waltz King " :

Quote:

Joseph Lanner (12 April 1801 – 14 April 1843) was an Austrian dance music composer.[1] He is best remembered as one of the earliest Viennese composers to reform the waltz from a simple peasant dance to something that even the highest society could enjoy, either as an accompaniment to the dance, or for the music's own sake. He was just as famous as his friend and musical rival Johann Strauss I, who was better known outside of Austria in their day because of his concert tours abroad, in particular, to France and England.

here are his Court Ball Dances :

@hamburgboy,

Germans seem to have got into light music in a big way. I'm thinking of the music of Kurt Edelhagen and James Last, people like that.

This is swing, from 1956
