I've been listening to the Michael Farneti record on Spotify all morning. So good.

Oh man I love Good Morning Kisses!! Finding it at a flea market in Tennessee was one of the most exciting moments ever. He's why I became obsessed with lounge records, though there's nothing like him that I've found so far.

This is really cool. "In the Jungle" is my favorite track so far.

So I've been slowly writing reviews of private press lounge records and writing a historical background of the various circuits many of these groups played. I'm hoping to put together a book eventually similar to Ken Scott's The Archivist or Patrick Lundborg's The Acid Archives but for lounge. I have over a thousand lounge records but I still need at least a few hundred more to make the book definitive, possibly even more if I include a UK lounge section. I started this project last year and have really enjoyed writing again, especially between the hours of 4am to 6am while listening to records on headphones. I doubt if this book will have an audience at large but I love these records and want to build a guide for people interested.

Is lounge music interchangeable with "the cabaret circuit" for yr purposes? Read a lot about that in an Eartha Kitt biography and was struck by how this category seems not to have survived, perhaps because it was more about spaces than recordings.

If the cabaret circuit didn't produce any lounge records, I'm sure it was an influence. I'm glad you brought up that book, I've been meaning to read it! So far the main circuits I'm researching are the bands who played at the Poconos, the Fort. Lauderdale scene, cruise ship bands, Atlantic City, South Texas, the Ozarks, the Catskills and Ohio had a thriving bar band/lounge scene. Then there's the long list of one off performers who self financed their record and played at various bars and clubs across the states that have since closed.

I'm turning this thread into my favorite vanity/private press songs.

Yeah, that "just to say goodbye" is a heartbreaker, and what happened with it doubly so.
