Tomorrow is my father-in-law's 82nd birthday and I was thinking about a time about 17 years ago when he came with us to Disneyland (actually he paid, so I guess we went with him). One of my fondest memories, and the start of my love for Disneyland, was walking with him all the way down Main Street towards the exit, lagging behind our family on our last day, singing along with Marty Robbins' El Paso. Today the thought struck me. Why were they playing that on Main Street? All they ever play now (I guess appropriately) are those turn-of-the-century type songs. Does anyone have any information about how Disneyland used to choose or provide the music on Main Street so that my fond memory can make sense again?

Re: Main Street Music
All I know is that I absolutely LOVE the Main Street music loop. It's the one I hear when I KNOW I've made it to Disneyland! -
Re: Main Street Music
But since when have you been visiting? Do you remember anything different than the current loop?Comment

Re: Main Street Music
If you want to research the music, the place to start is at the Disney Music Loops page - the official URL is http://www.disneymusicloops.com/ which will forward you to the real pages at whaleweb.comOriginally posted by nemopoppins View Post
17 years ago would be about 1989, so you would want the 1971-1992 loop info.
But Marty Robbins' "El Paso" isn't on there - are you sure you weren't humming the Frontierland Background Loop? That's the only place that song would fit the theming properly, it would be way wrong on Main Street USA.

Re: Main Street Music
I know, Bruce, that's why I am stumped. I am sure it was on while we were walking out of the park down Main Street. But how and why? Aargh! I've happily thought of that moment many times before but it wasn't until last night that I realized something was amiss. I've just got to find an explanation. Thank you for the link. I'll check it out. Who knows what I'll stumble upon in my search. This is a mystery and I can use all the help I can get.Comment

Re: Main Street Music
Hi guys - without looking at any other link, I can tell you that much of the background music on Main Street is from the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra. I have the same CDs!
I have always thought the 14-piece PRO would be perfect at Disneyland. I would love, love, love to see them play a concert there. Imagine how delighted I was when I was at the park a couple of years ago and heard their music on the background loop!
The PRO plays period music as closely as possible to the style used in the late-19th and early 20th centuries. If you love classical ragtime, you will love them.

Re: Main Street Music

Second, the Disney World loop, similar to the one at Disneyland are avalible at Mousegeeks.com.Friend walks into line of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh-"Come on, Let's go see Country Bear- .......Oh."-August 1st 2010

Re: Main Street Music
Actually, the Main Street Loops for Disneyland and Disney World are exactly the same, as are the christmas loops.Originally posted by Walt Jr. View Post
As for why they would play that on Main Street; I haven't a clue.

Re: Main Street Music
right but most of the loops are user submitted from people like you and me, they can be wrong heh. and in this case it is. a lot of people got the main street area music audio file and were either told it was the same in both parks or that there were a couple extra songs in wdw's, but there are a few songs missing as well.
just so we don't lose sight on the original topic though, the DL loops pre1992 and current appear to be correct for the info you're looking for.Comment
