Beautiful. I just love the old sound.  Cannot get enough of it.

Not quite the romantic sound of the Rudy Vallee version but still marvelous.

@bsgs98 you're right of course, age wise. But these old standards would be familiar to them I would think, and certainly the recordings of Miller, Lombardo Artie Shaw, the Dorseys and all the others would be pleasant for them- better than listening to commercial radio or a flickering T.V. , or some poor soul talking to themselves or crying. Believe me, I've spent time in them.  The staff are hard working, and kind, and it must be a difficult job at the best of times. This music would help.

Hard to believe this was recorded over 80 years ago. A classic 20's disc, and a lot of memories for many people.

I think if they played this kind of music-and all the others you have- in nursing homes across the land, we'd have a lot of happier seniors.

makes me happy just listening, and I'm not there yet!

Thanks- nice video and a fine old dance band- when people did that sort of thing.

From the movie of the same name. Rudy's first talkie...........I think the admission price was $l.00 a head when it open in New York. Loretta Young's sister Sally Blain(sp) was the girl...........Not a bad film for it's day...
