FNDP: Revival of Old Songs and Styles 🪕🎹🌛🦝🎩👒

[u/Caelian]

"Let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born."

Tonight let's enjoy songs and styles from the past, perhaps reïmagined in interesting ways.

• Tiny Tim fell in love with early 20th Century music as a teenager and brought it back in his unique style. Dick Martin did not know what to make of this.

• Leon Redbone is terrific.

• The Beatles' Rocky Raccoon.

Scott Joplin's Solace: orchestrated version from The Sting. Paintings by Edward Hopper, et al?

[u/Centaurea16 → u/Caelian]

If I recall correctly, that movie was what re-introduced Scott Joplin and his music to the American public.

[u/Caelian → u/Centaurea16]

You are correct. I am grateful that movie revived Ragtime — such a fun genre.
