Nostalgia: (noun) A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

Nostalgia can happen at any moment. The scent of pine in the air, the taste of apples and cinnamon, the chill in the air, can all transport us back to a happy Thanksgiving, your first dance or a merry Christmas.

But there’s nothing quite like hearing the music of your childhood. Whether it’s the songs you danced to in your living room as a little girl, or the music you rocked out to while driving to your first summer job, the memories are almost palpable.

We’ve compiled two playlists of songs from the 1930’s-1970’s. Hopefully these will help bring a little of that wonderful nostalgia to you and your loved ones. Listen to both the Nostalgia Playlist and the Christmas Playlist!
