I Sure Hope You're Stressed Out!
Okay. I don't, actually, but since I said I hoped you were hungry when I posted "Music for Dining" & "More Music for Dining", by The Melachrino Strings, back in April of last year I figured that would be an appropriate sentiment with which to introduce this post.
Continuing with his attempts at Lifestyle Modification Though Music, George Melachrino conducted these two records in 1958 and 1961, respectively. The first is called "Music for Relaxation"and relaxing is what it is, boy howdy! Of course, that's what George did best.

Taken from the rear sleeve of this amazing LP
Once upon a time there were no buildings or bridges or automobile, and life was paced so leisurely no one needed to relax. Life “was” relaxation, and the days passed languidly as summer heat hanging over a meadow.
but, as you well know, progress came and brought civilization with it (maybe it was the other way around), and before long people were getting behind the wheels of their cars and driving 75 miles “to work”! Or they were climbing into airplanes to fly to Europe “for a ten-day tour of the Continent”! Or, even worse, they developed hobbies and things to occupy their spare moments, when all along they should have been lying down in some comfortable place, contemplating clouds and tides and things that count.
At any rate, civilization and progress are definitely with us,and everyone will keep running, no matter what. So, the next best thing to having back those good old pretension days is having this record on the turntable while you sit or lie on something soft and feel all the cares and the worries and tenseness of everyday life unwind from around your neck, unknot from your shoulders, and slide voluptuously down your arms to the tips of your fingers where, by the time you are listening to the melody of “Among My Souvenirs” and the “Chopin Nocturne In E-Flat,” they will drop off and leave you wonderfully loose.
I hate to be insistent, but you really do need this kind of therapy. After all, Melachrino and his strings are a perfectly relaxed group, and this music added to “their” relaxation. Think what it will do for yours.
It’s time to stop reading and to start relaxing.

WOW!! I downloaded the Melachrino Strings music for relaxation... and fell in love. I grew up in the 101 Strings era and never heard of George Melachrino.
I loved this album so much, that I have gone back and downloaded all your others.
Now I'm a Melachrino Collector!!
THANKS for introducing me to them!!!
