Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey sent legions of young stoners scrambling for records of music by Richard and Johann Strauss.
David Lynch's cult classic, Eraserhead, sent punk rockers and art students in the late 1970s and early 1980s trolling through used record stores for Fats Waller's organ music, which is still largely forgotten.
Fats Waller reminds me of ice skating rink music....
ReplyDeleteHe might have played in one. He played in movie theaters.
ReplyDeleteI listened to Fats Waller's records on the old wind-up Victrola as a child. My father liked his music. I do, too.
ReplyDeleteNice selection here, Doug.
The Victor Talking Machine. LOL!
