Music That Swings category archive

From time to time, I have posted music that I first heard on KCEA-FM, always with a link to KCEA, the radio station of the Menlo-Atherton, California, school district.

KCEA is currently moving its studio. It’s still broadcasting, but the stream is not available.

If you want music that swings and miss KCEA, try the 1920s Radio Network, which happens to be affiliated with my local NPR stations.

I have more links to music that swings, but those two are the best. If you are interested in the others, just ask or go to Icecast or Shoutcast.

I hesitated to post this, for I find the title offensive, but the music is marvelous.

Just for grins and giggles, try playing “Count the Stereotypes” as you watch this.

I’ve always wondered, who the heck was Elmer?

I have vague memories of seeing Bob Crosby’s afternoon television show after my Granddaddy gave us our first television. It was a surprise; one afternoon, the local Zenith dealer pulled up in his truck and brought it in. With a rooftop antenna, we got two and a half stations.

Liza Pulman delivers a marvelous rendition of this tune in a style reminiscent of Helen Kane in an episode of Midsomer Murders. The song comes in the dance party scene at approximately the one-hour mark.
