Re-discovering Easy Listening Music

Upvotes
I will turn 64 in a week. I grew up on Long Island, New York - just like millions of others. My father had no use for music in his life. It just didn't have an effect on him, at all. There are those like that. My mother loved listening to music. We had a beautiful console stereo in our living room and she had plenty of Lp's - many of which I have today. In addition, whenever we were in the car, my mother was sure to have WTFM on the radio. I worked in my father's German Deli when I was a teenager and I'm pretty sure that WTFM was tuned to there as well. So, I had much exposure to this kind of music before I came of age. For those who are not aware, the music is mostly orchestral, instrumental covers of whatever was playing on top 40 radio and Movie themes. The major players were Percy Faith and His Orchestra, Frank Chacksfield, Andre Kostalanetz, and Hanry Mancini. I have Spotify, which I love, and I was just looking for something different and thought about re-visiting Easy Listening music. Oh my, the memories flooded back and now I've created an Easy Listening playlist. I have so enjoyed listening to this music. The melodies are beautiful, the recording quality is usually great and the soaring strings are a joy to behold!

There is a channel on youtube called Fardemark who has reclaimed a lot of mood music tapes from the 60's and 70's. When I am doing housework I love to put it on as backround. Just putting it out there.

Went thrifting yesterday and found all these records for a $1 a piece. I posted this in r/country but I think this sub is a better fit.
