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....

<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'm a hard core rocker from the cradle but I've been exposed to so many types of music--I didn't care for swing as a kid but later got into it quite a bit. This music is so perfect for that moment. Mom just loved Glenn Miller. I got exposed from the beginning to jazz, swing, Big Band, Opera and broadway musicals. On my own I discovered Celtic, World Beat, Folk, Filk--which I play--rock,swing revival, rockabilly and DA BLUES!!
