Vintage Music

I love music.  My most preferred music is from the early 1900's to 1940's.  However, I also love music from the 1950's to 1970's.  Yes, I love disco, I admit it.  LOL!  I like instrumental, vocal and nature music.  I enjoy good acapella music as well.  


I remember the old vinyl records.  You had the 78's, the 45's and the 33 rpm records.  Most of them were black;  however, some, as I recall, were red, yellow and green.  These vinyl records are making a comeback, as many people still love the sound that comes from them.  One person likened the sound to the crackle of a fireplace...warmth, nostalgic.  I agree with him.  As for the 45's, you needed a plastic piece that fit in the middle so that it would stay still on the record player or stereo and play properly.  


We also had the tapes...however, I always preferred the records.

  1. Some say the quality of vinyl is better than the MP3 recordings of today.

    1. Hi Andrew, I heard about that! Sometimes technology is not necessarily better at all.

  3. We seem to have very similar tastes - in music, at least. Back in the 70s, I wrote a weekly column discussing the latest record releases. The record companies sent me "demo" albums and I ended up with thousands. I've given away most of them. That was great fun, though.

    Now, my biggest collection of CDs included Sinatra and Willie Nelson!

  4. I forgot to mention that I used to write music. I had an album of old-timey country stuff released in Europe in 1998. The lead song, "Too Good to be Blue," made it to #1 on the Independent Radio charts and #10 on the Top 50 (right up there with Reba, Garth, etc.) That was fun but I never made any money from it. A good friend, producer from Nashville who worked with all the big names, told me to move to Nashville if I wanted to be successful. That really wasn't an option.

  7. I still have all my vinyl! There's nothing like the cosy sound of that crackling.... Thank you for the reminder.

  8. I still have a few vinyl albums, although I don't currently even own a record player! LOL.. I've thought of getting one of those USB record players, but I might just sell the albums instead, we'll see..

  9. Lubię też słuchać dobrej muzyki, takiej "wpadającej w ucho". Mam też płyty winylowe, tylko nie ma na czym ich przesłuchiwać. Moje dzieci słuchały nawet bajek z takich płyt. Pozdrawiam i dziękuję za komentarz u mnie. *** I like listening to good music, such a "catchy". I also have vinyl, but not on what they hear. My kids even heard tales of such records. I greet and thank you for your comments with me :-).

  10. On ne peut pas se séparer de nos vieux vinyles... ils sont devenus précieux et représentent également un epartie de notre vie et de notre jeunesse aussi bien sûr !
    Une très jolie publication...
    Je vous remercie pour votre gentil commentaire laissé sur mon blog.
    Gros bisous à vous.
