Visuals of an indeterminate time at the Firestone Theater in perhaps Sparks, Nevada. Song is a bit more recent. Constant Craving...

As we get closer to Halloween, I like to introduce to you a 1923 RAG. In the 1960's and 70's ragtime became a popular phenomenon due in part to a movie called The Sting . I think this is what really introduced me to enjoying the old music machines. The old saying is that kids hate what their parents like but enjoy what their grandparents liked. :biggrin: Enjoy The Ghost of the Piano by Author Shutt ---- 23 Skidoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8ApP1yxOho

In the 1960's and 70's there was a ragtime revival of sorts. There were new ragtime compositions composed. One of these is called Poltergeist:eek:by William Bolcom --- so fitting for Halloween... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGov3KG1JCE

One of my ragtime favorites is called Graceful Ghost by William Bolcom. This tune has a eerie quality that just is rather haunting........... :eek:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YufmYPb2zZE

I imagine this as a recurring memory of a missed chance at true love which is revisited but can never to be requited... :cry:

This song was rocking the charts the year I graduated high school. I believe the song poignantly reveals the time period I grew up in. Yes, we sang along with the song in the day. :ugeek: And yes, I still sing along with it now ----- though not with as much gusto.... :sad: Don McLean- American Pie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAsV5-Hv-7U

And this is Don McLean's interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsZFiMo8TIc

OK! I know that Christmas is still a ways off; however, time seems to fly on by. Anyway, I have found some Christmas music that is rarely if ever played on the radio anymore. If anyone knows of some rare Christmas music please share it. I hope you enjoy this one. It was once a popular tune that has since slipped into obscurity. I wish someone would give it the airtime it rightly deserves. I fondly remember this song and everyone who has ever heard it is usually 50 or over. Enjoy ------ Here Comes Suzy Snowflake :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI0t_tadZJU

The first time I heard this song it was played on a windup Sonora Intermezzo upright Phonograph from 1916. The record was a red Vocalion acoustic recording from the period. I have never heard this sung or played anywhere again until I discovered YouTube. This is called THE VOICE of the CHIMES ---- another long forgotten holiday tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhY_YNU-zX8
