Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with scratches, crackles and pops.
Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. I’ll tell stories about the family listening to these albums and I’ll give other info about the album and the time it was released.

Ray Conniff Improvisations
My father must have really loved the music of Ray Conniff. This is the sixth of eight albums from this arranger and orchestra leader in my dad’s collection. This one has a bit of a twist to it. No. Not the dance.
While the title of the album makes it seem like it will be a live album, that is not the nature of the concert here. Several of the songs you hear will be improvisations or interpretations of some pretty popular melodies from throughout time.
So, get ready to hear those lush strings paired with those lyric-less vocals in Volume 247: A Conniff Concert.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
