Thanks for adding the videos. The first one should have still been popular when mother and daddy were young, for they married in 1921. But, they probably couldn't afford a radio, so don't know how much music they heard. I'm sure they heard the Hymnal in church. I loved the jazz music.

I could live without T.V. but music would be hard. I listen to contemporary Christian music and find it both inspiring and uplifting.Music has a history for me. I can hear a song and it will remind me of a time or place from my childhood, school years or when I was dating my now husband. Lets not forget seasonal music it also lifts my spirits. ~ Blessings to you and best wishes on your new book. ~ lisastifler(at)yahoo.comLisa Stiflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487625961456843043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671536239032927337.post-21135105558428098502014-09-18T10:01:31.099-05:002014-09-18T10:01:31.099-05:00I really want to read this book!
