Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys: Music for a Vintage Lifestyle

If you love vintage fashion from the 1920's and 30's, then Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys should be the musical score for your life.

Janet has found a way to capture all of the fun and jive of that era's music, singing and playing her ukulele with a back-up band of marvelous musicians. But there's more! She's also a gifted graphic artist, as well as a spell binding performer. She has designed a vintage style web site that will make you want to put on a pot of tea and settle in for awhile, to cruise the many pages that relate to her work, musician friends and related topics. You can find that, HERE.

Living in Sin is especially fun, so maybe you should start with that CD from her collection, HERE.

Once you get to know Janet, you will notice the unmistakable ukulele that she plays. She demonstrates how to play that instrument in this charming video tutorial:


Then, if you would like to spread out your picnic blanket on the park grass, you can join Janet and her Parlor Boys for a tune or two:
