Monday, December 14, 2009 Saving the planet, one Cole Porter tune at a time.....
Everybody loves glamorous modern vintage retro Old Hollywood music.
For weddings, parties and events there is nothing more engaging, romantic, fun and exciting that the music of the mid-Twentieth Century. Liike the furniture, clothing and movies that came out of those years, mid-century moderne music is a hot item!
No music has ever captured the heart, soul and imagination of the world like the standards, ballroom, novelties, Rat Pack, Jet Set, Old Hollywood and vintage swing music of the Roaring Twenties 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's and 1970's.
Mid-century is the "sweet spot" of all of tht music. Some of it was first recorded in the '20's and '30's, then re-visited in the 1950's and 1960's. It's fabulous music, and perfect music for weddings and events because it speaks to EVERYONE!
It's turning up everywhere: in re-mixes you hear at the mall -- and on the records of Rod Stewart, Sting, Michael Buble and others.
The records are great. But imagine the thrill of hearing -- and dancing to -- this kind of music performed live!
Live music for a wedding or event is pretty exciting when it captures the timeless, universal appeal... |
Monday, November 23, 2009 One of the nicest things about the magnificent styles of vintage Twentieth Century music -- including retro, deco, mid-century moderne, early swing, big band swing, Old Hollywood and the Great American Songbook is that it's perfect music for the most memorable wedding and events.

Saturday, November 7, 2009 "You and your band absolutely made our wedding!"
This is music to our ears! We love hearing it from our brides and grooms and their families.

Monday, October 19, 2009 Let's talk about the best wedding band in America.
Huh?
OK, let's talk about reality.
Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Dorothy Fields and Nelson Riddle would all be rolling over in their graves if they'd heard what I just heard....
Fields wrote some of the best live music for weddings,... |
Friday, October 16, 2009 2010 Wedding Trends - What's Hot and What's Not....A Style List for Modern Brides
My friend Sheryle Ulyate, who is one of the most elegant women I know, suggested that we compile a list of what the editors of Modern Bride might well be touting as... |
Thursday, October 8, 2009 Gourmet and Modern Bride are gone. This is not good.
I was one of the first "content providers" trained by the Los Angeles Times to write for the internet.
Years ago, ok?
Keep it short and sweet, they told us. Nobody wants to wade through more than a... |
Saturday, October 3, 2009 We never play anything the same way once.
Most of my musical colleagues started making music professionally when they were about thirteen years old.
I was a "band singer" at that age. Stand up, sit down...
We're a little more creative these days.
It's Benny... |
