I Sing the Body Eclectic... Part One

When it comes to old-timey stuff, I tend to be eclectic. There are so many fantastic styles of clothing, decor, music, cars, housewares, etc. that I've never been able to settle on one particular era as my favorite... and I don't think that's such a bad thing. After all, didn't someone say that "variety is the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor?"

I thought that, every so often, I'd highlight my eclecticism in a particular area of vintage. This "Part One" post is about music. While I actually enjoy songs and artists from just about every era/genre, here are some of my favorites, and this is just a drop in my musical bucket....

The Boswell Sisters



Astrid Gilberto & Stan Getz



Benny Goodman Orchestra



The Ventures



Les Baxter



Al Bowlly



Collins Kids



Booker T and the MGs



Bert Kaempfert



Three Dog Night



Jimmie Lunceford



France Gall



Arlo Guthrie



John Lee Hooker



Eddie Cochran



Well, you get the idea...

Now, what about you?
Do you prefer a particular era or genre of music or do you sing the body eclectic?
