Music?

[Cherokee Rose]

I always have difficulty finding music for my numbers. Does anyone have some pointers of good places to search and possibly search criteria I should put in. I love big band music, the classic burlesque music, swing type stuff, Elvis and Old DoWap.

Have you gone to Pandora (www.pandora.com) yet? It's a website where you can start your own personal radio stations based on genre or band name. You can also adjust it to play what you like and not what you don't.

Also, if you've got iTunes, the latest download has a feature called "Genius" where when you pick a song it recommend other songs you don't have. I've found a few gems that way!

I'm a big fan of Amazon mp3s. There's tons of instantly downloadable music old and new, and for everything you look at there's that "people who bought this also bought this" thing that can direct you to other stuff. They also have quite a few karaoke tracks, which I love because I sing several of my numbers. And unlike most mp3 sites, you can burn the tracks to disc.

You can download burlesque compilations (I think thats the right word...?) I found one that was called Burlesque and Jazz. Its great, has a ton of artists on it, one I remember was on this Bettie Boop cartoon.

There is a wonderful station in Seattle called "The Music Of Your Life". I am pretty sure that I am the ONLY one under 75 years old who listens to it. I get burly inspired music all day long. Find your self a station like that and you will be sure to find some gems that inspire you that aren't on all the other mainstream Striptease CD's.

Have you looked into Java's Bachelor Pad Radio? They podcast, live stream, and post the playlist on their website. They have tons of great tunes and fantastic old time radio shorts. Go to: http://www.javasbachelorpad.com/radio.html

Oh and I second Amazon, Pandora (or Jango), iTunes Genius, and the music right here on PL - with all of that you should be set - Good Luck!
