OLD TIME GREATEST STARS

OLD SCHOOL MUSIC LOVER

*****THE INTERVIEW*****

will you kindly share to us whats your blog all about?

***********************

SONDAN
I love oldies music and listen to it all the time. I have a minimal

 hour commute to and from work daily so

music soothes my soul during that "defensive driving" time. The music

 from the late fifties through the early seventies is what I grew up on

 and is, by far, my favorite.

ALLISON
My blog is about all old time stars that ever graced the silverscreen,some of these include stars like "Judy Garland" "Frank Sinatra" and many more.

i know how impressive your concept in your blog was .how this started anyway?

*******************************

My work life wasn't going as planned and frankly I was quite

 depressed about it. I guess I was having the proverbial mid-life career crisis

 when I got downsized.

Music was my source of solace: it makes me feel good and brings back

 memories of happier times. I put that together with my new blogging hobby

 that I was using to self-medicate my depression and "Old School Music

 Lover" was born.

This came about when I abit younger & started watching some of these old films,I then decided when I got my computer to do a blog on Doris Day, but then deciced this wasn't enough just concentrating on one star so I thought I would do this blog & have a wider choice on all the great old icons out there.



i know that all of your posts was great .do you consider one of them

 as your most favorite or the most classical?

************************

No I can't pick any single favorites. My love of the music is very

 eclectic in terms of genre as I think you can tell from the songs I have

selected over the course of the past eight months



Doris Day is most deffinetly my most favourite classic icon,although she is not on this blog I have another blog just on her.


what was your target reader?

*********************

Anyone and everyone. I particular thought that perhaps the "Boomers"

 would like to share their thoughts on this great music and perhaps

 turn me onto some music I wasn't familiar with of the era.  And more

 importantly, I felt that Generation X needed to hear what REAL MUSIC was all

 about since the majority of the new popular stuff sucks IMHO.


what was the word "classic" for you? is everything
old are considerable classic

*********************

I would consider classic as a perfect and/or early example of a particular style,or an artistic work of lasting worth.



we are now in the modern era¦.and its almost predominated by modern

 styles and fashion¦ and mostly all those classic things are

 forgotten by the modern generation¦ what can you say about this?

How interesting that you should ask that BlueD. I have a second blog in

 which I address this issue. I started a companion blog to OSML

 entitled "Everything Old Is New Again". That is where I specifically discuss

 some of the great classics/oldies from the 20th Century, that are being

 recorded again in the 21st Century. When music is good -  good artists

 will find it and realize it's greatness. Stop by and check it out at

Apart from the nostalgia of looking backwards So many movies these days are technically brilliant but ultimately quite hollow - I think its down to massively movie literate but life-ignorant film makers continually referencing old movies,consciously or unconsciously.Their interpretations of characters and situations are from their knowledge of movies (or other forms of art),not from life itself.One thing so many of the great old film makers had was experience of life.Many became film makers relatively late in life some came from the arts,others had very tough lives before starting to make films

************************************

Thank you so much sondan and allison for giving me a chance to interview you and permitting me to introduce your blogs in my INTERESTING BLOG OF THE MONTH APRIL 2008

its an honor to have both of you

"oldies are not bad afterall....they are fantastic....sometimes it is wonderful to turn back those times....and we must remember that those music and movies of the present time willl never be that good without its foundation...without its inspiration and without the pioneers from the past era or generation."

and as amatter of appreciation ...sondan and allison please do take this "excellent site award" from the bottom of my heart

because you sites are certified


this is me BLUEDREAMER...
