The last track was the inspiration for this mix. I was just home for my parent's 61st Wedding anniversary and whistled an old tune that stuck in my head. My father asked me what it was and I told him I had forgotten the name of it. He figured it out and this mix is the result. The song was an instrumental from 1953. The mix starts off with a tune from 1933 and then features a string of songs from 1928 to 1930 in the middle. Songs from many other decades are included (the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s) and although there is no song directly from the '40s, there is a 2003 cover (track 15) of a Cole Porter song from 1948.
Tracklist
Playing tracks by Ethel Waters, Linda Ronstadt, Bubble Puppy, Commander Cody, Jerry Reed and more.

Congratulations to your parents! Cool thematic mix, or better: a 'hot' thematic mix! ;-)
Thanks Professor Eddy, glad you enjoyed my mix.. I'll be checking out some of your mixes soon.. I'm thinking that you might like to hear at least a few more of my mixes that are mostly R&B oriented for the pre '80s. For example I have an all early '60s girl group mix which you might want to take a break from somewhere in the middle and listen to my "Soulful Summer" mix.. best regards, Joe
