Title: Collinwood Radio Music
Post by: Barnabas on May 30, 2002, 06:18:41 PM

I loved when on today's episode Carolyn turned on the radio and this blast from the past music comes out! I recognized it as the Theme from a Man and Woman...

There were other times the radio was turned on in the drawing room.  Did they use the same music? I think they may have used another '60's instrumental whose name I can't remember.  Does anyone here know this bit of DS trivia?

OMG that had me laughing soo hard! Is that really what the music was like in the 60s? Didn't they have like.....the Beatles and stuff? Or is everyone in Collinsport just addicted 2 classical music?  ?!?

I think Elizabeth was strictly classical and easy listening, but Carolyn probably listened to the Rolling Stones on the local rock and roll station in her car.

Same here!  I'm also partial to the Four Seasons, but I like practically everything from that decade.

I've always liked the theme to "A Man and a Woman"; I remember hearing it on DS way back then and thinking, hey, that's the stuff my dad listens to! It sorta helped bring DS into the real world for me. Nowadays, I love old lounge lizard music. ;)  I do enjoy the Charles Randolph Grean Sounde recordings of the DS music because of that distinctive 60s easy listening style, mainly for its nostalgic value.

Is that the Dark Shadows CD? I heard a few tracks from it and really like the Blue Whale theme music for exactly the reasons you just  gave.

We had great music.  I agree the Grass Roots, Carol King, my first album ever bought, Tapestry, James Taylor, still love him.  David should have been listening to the Monkees.  Beetles goes without saying.  I am catching up.  When I heard the radio I thought I was in an elevator.  

Birdie--we listened to 60's music all the way to Florida in the car.   I was dancing to Palisades Park in Animal Kingdom.  My children were somewhat embarassed.
