CM has always been popular in this country.<br /><br />"Everything old is new again" - it has been said; so perhaps the big bands and the musicals will have their time again. (I wonder if that saying applies to me, as well)!<br /><br />Krupa was unique...he was the Master! He was special.<br /><br />Take good care. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-88356481672946326702013-09-26T12:55:33.073-07:002013-09-26T12:55:33.073-07:00Hello Dexter...I too have more past than future. ...Hello Dexter...I too have more past than future.

Unfortunately, I did not discover those until later as "country music" was all over rural TN. In high school I strayed from CM to a grand crush on Dean Martin and when I first heard Gene Krupa I fell in love. I was very very fond of Musicals. Too bad really good Musicals have gone the same trail as Big Band.

And so did I, under the direction of Larry O'Brien. They came to Spivey Hall in Atlanta a few years ago and I got tickets and took my parents. They were thrilled and I was, too. The next morning I put on a Glenn Miller CD and my mom taught me how to dance the jitterbug.<br /><br />Thanks for this post - I am having a not great morning and you have made it better.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-76036719897810380912013-09-24T13:27:31.986-07:002013-09-24T13:27:31.986-07:00Hi Pat...they are good memories.

Our farm home was centered around music but almost always out of a church hymnal but there must have been strong, other influences that I can't pin point.<br />I will say that having 3 kids and now grand kids all who did or will play in the band, every concert I've attended starting back a lot of years, has contained a segment on the big band era. My kids are all familiar with a lot of the songs you speak of. The high school band instructors, even today, are deeply influenced by those earlier years.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676389902079486865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-50908679159206779122013-09-23T23:17:43.449-07:002013-09-23T23:17:43.449-07:00More similarities between us, Robyn!! ;)

My mother was also a musician in her own right and my brothers and I all play instruments of some kind. Like you, Lee, I adore drums and Gene Krupa was a huge favourite of mine. I love big band music and my youngest daughter loves that era as well. She has brought her three up to appreciate the era, something which I am really pleased about.<br /><br />Great post, Lee, and it sure brings back some memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503915059334064289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-18830934173622063872013-09-23T20:36:20.861-07:002013-09-23T20:36:20.861-07:00Wow!

He played with Stan Kenton in his early days.<br /><br />Music always held a big place in my life, one way or the other; in one form or many other forms! <br /><br />When I was a teenager a couple of nights a week my friends and I spent sitting around in someone's home listening to music...we had a vast range to choose from - we were into all genres, not just pop and rock. A lot of our group were renting flats/units in town. They were newcomers to the town because of their work...transferred as school teachers, public servants/government workers or bank employees; and in some cases, radio announcers.<br /><br />There was always a gathering going on somewhere or other. <br /><br />Back in those halcyon days our nights were filled with music, interesting conversations and great fun.

I appreciate music the most when the drums are utilized as part of the melody and not just as a means of keeping time.<br /><br />Where you (and maybe still are) a fan of Maynard Ferguson? He came on the scene 20-30 years after Harry James, but the boy could flat out blow his horn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-2607104298801552892013-09-22T20:50:53.685-07:002013-09-22T20:50:53.685-07:00Yes, they are, EC.
