JackFavell Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I could listen to these guys all day long. It was nice to see them this morning with Dick Powell in *Broadway Gondolier*. Here is a continuous mix of *Mills Brothers* songs: Link to post Share on other sites
movieman1957 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 CA loves them. My daughter even wants their version of "Daddy's Little Girl" at her wedding, whenever that will be. Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Aww! That's so sweet! I was wrong about the youtube mix - it changes over after a few songs - not all Mills Brothers. Still, they are adorable in those first two clips! Here's more. Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Here's the best I found on youtube. It's amazing what you can do with a guitar and three voices. It makes me laugh that the replies to the first one are arguing about whether there is a trumpet or a kazoo playing. It's all done vocally. Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Nice stuff! I am a big fan of the Mills Brothers and have many of their early '30s Brunswick recordings in my collection. Here's another interesting group, it does features a kazoo (a comb with tissue paper in this case). Link to post Share on other sites
traceyk65 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Listening to Bobby Darin's version of Mack the Knife, followed by Hazy Shade of Winter by the Bangles, These Boots Were Made for Walking by Nancy Sinatra and several songs by Green Day. My playlist is a little eclectic today. Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Great choice, Scottman! I love the *Mound City Blue Blowers* - I had to look them up one day a year or two ago, after seeing them on TCM in between movies one day. They are fantastic. I think it's great that they play suitcase and whisk broom. I wish I could hear your collection - you have great taste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DlbWzawHV8&feature=related Edited by: JackFavell on Mar 26, 2011 4:54 PM Link to post Share on other sites

movieman1957 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Putting together a collection of adagios for a friend. Some traditional things but also some things I went to find just to mix it up. Barber's Adagio for Strings Copland's "Our Town." Mahler's Adagio from his 5th Symphony Beethoven - string arrangement of his String Quartet, Op 131 (1st movement.) Elgar - Elegy Dvorak - Serenade, Op. 22 Haydn - Adagio from Cello Concerto No. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I really love that theme from Our Town - so homespun and calm. I also love Dvorak. Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 JackFavell, I remember once your saying you liked XTC. One of their most unusual songs ( and these guys specialized in unusual) is Green Man, from their "Apple Venus" album. This is an amazing song, with very sophisticated arrangements and an almost eerie rhythmic sound. The lyrics are as strange and mysterious as the music- very pagan and strange.

JackFavell Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I love Green Man! It's a favorite... and very appropriate for this time of year too....everything is starting to grow and the trees are budding out, grass is turning back to green. Link to post Share on other sites

movieman1957 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks. I remember when it was a hit. I think I have someone else's arrangement on some sheet music but it was hard not to play it like this recording. Link to post Share on other sites
