I am surprised no one posted a comment on this old fashion style "bumper" very unique. Suppose I am just sentimental. Very well done piece, too short though.

@geo386  --- From what I understand, there was a series of these done in Edward Hopper's style. This is the only one I ever managed to tape, but I'm guessing you could find the others on YouTube somewhere. ;)

What's the big deal of this clip; it's a lot of elitists talking, probably the same kind of morons that think "Waiting For Godot" is the epitome of theater and art.

I recently and happily discovered I had this recorded on a tape I made several years back from tcm. The song and feeling of the bumper are very evocative of a long-gone time. Glad to know it's Chet Baker singing, always sounded like a young Mel Torme to me.

Love this bump. It really takes me to the sunny side.

Did any one else come here from Linn's Stamp News?

This was always one of my favorite TCM intros. Chet Baker had a really beautiful voice. The great art work was by Edward Hopper. And yes, the edgier one they replaced it with is not as nice....

Long live TCM.

@jaquen1977 My thanks for your kind words I grew up in a world sans internet without all the trappings of modern technology. I suppose it is only natural that I should evoke these feelings of when life was embraced and cherished and not taken for granted.

[jaquen1977]

@geo386 Yes, I searched for "bumpers" as well. Are you an author? I find you have an uncanny ability to evoke a bit of nostalgia yourself, using the simpliest of words. Hearing you allude to simplier times really strikes a cord with me. Thank you.

@jaquen1977 Thank you for responding. I recently looked on You Tube under "bumpers" and found this gem. I am glad I was able to touch a warm fuzzy place for you. I am slightly *ahem* older although your comment was very appreciated. The term is a bit antiquated but many of the ones I find evoke a simpler time when life was a bit less hectic.

@geo386 Lord, I love this bumper. It fills me with all kinds of warmth and nostalgia, despite the fact that I'm only 30!
