🎶 The song reveal from yesterday’s record playing post is called Village Swallows Waltz by Josef Strauss from this 1956 Boston Pops Picnic record. 🧺 In the 1950s, it was recommended not only to tote along good food and drink on your outdoor eating adventures but also a portable record player so that you could really set a scene! I love that! 🎶 Also the cover art on this record is just gorgeous. 📸 The photograph was taken by Mitchell Bliss (great name!) who I hoped would be a well documented photographer of midcentury life, but sadly there’s not much info on him. Another candidate for the vintage sleuthing pile! One day we’ll find out just exactly who this mysterious Mr. Bliss was:) 📸 In the meantime, autumn picnics with the symphony await! . . . . . #bostonpops #vintagevinyl #picnicseason #picnictime #arthurfieldler #1950sphotography #vintagevibes #josefstrauss #waltz #picnic https://www.instagram.com/p/CVdWhRSAYEr/?utm_medium=tumblr
