Guys,
Just sitting here on the veranda at the Grand Floridian Hotel and reflecting on my stay. While this was a Disney family vacation, I got a chance to sit back and enjoy some live Jazz music from the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra. These guys have been around well over 20 years, and I must say that they are truly a class act.
I just purchased their 1995 CD “As Time Goes By”....as well as another female resident Harpist Player’s CD.
The true magic of this hotel is that it transcends back to a time that is rarely seen these days. True gentleman tipping their hats to the ladies and elegance at its finest! The sound of a steam whistle that echoes every so often from the paddle steam boats in the lagoon.
Also....the hotel background music that is slowly faded in at like 7:30 AM, consists of music from the 1920’s, ‘30s, and the Ragtime Era. This is what truly puts the icing on the cake.
Needless to say I have started to compile a Qobuz songlist from the aforementioned, and have really begun to appreciate the music. This was music that I can remember listening to as kid at my Grandparents house.
Below is a live stream YouTube video of the Grand Floridian Orchestra from last year. I hope you enjoy...
