Roy and Ed's Dance Music??

[binaryalchemist]

For the final scene in Chapter 14 I had to find a piece of music that would suit the mood just right. Granted, this was roughly in the late teens, early 1920's in Amestris---Jazz at that time was a bit more syncopated. I decided to take the liberty and use something from a later era--"Moonlight Serenade"

My parents were both jazz and swing lovers--my mom's favorites were Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. "Moonlight Serenade" is one of Miller's most famous songs--a slow, dreamy instrumental perfect for a slow dance.

For the curious--here it is...and imagine a dark juke joint lit up only by the glow of a vintage jukebox....

Beautiful choice of music for a wonderful chapter!
This song was the first and last I danced with my dad, so it is really dear to me!

<3333333333 This music is perfect for Roy and Ed to dance to!!! :D I went back and reread the last part of chapter 14 while this played. Loved it!!! I've played this like 20 times already! Who knew a rock and roll girl like me would like jazz! ^_^ I've heard this piece of music many many times before and never knew who played it. Thanks for posting this!! :D

I LOVE this piece. And now, part of me will always call those two to mind when I hear it.

Thanks for posting this. I've heard the song befor, but not had a chance to listen to the whole thing in a long time. Makes me want to listen to my jazz CDs again.
