It seems a lot of us listening to this, do it in memory of our fathers. This song sure takes me back to the happiest days of my childhood, when my parents were in their prime, and dad had this record playing all the time. He loved this album. How I miss those days, of childhood bliss, and the sweetness of our home filled with beautiful music...my dad alive and in love with his family and his music.
The first time I ever danced was 1963 in a classroom in elementary school with the best looking girl in school and it was to "Sail Along Silvery Moon" and to top it all off she asked me to dance. Wow! Hearing it now just took me back 50 some years.
I grew up around Billy Vaughn's music. At about two years of age, I danced to his "Swingin' Safari" As an alto saxist in high school, I used his recordings to pattern my vibrato after. My private teacher said, "Now Billy Vaughn-that's how a sax should sound!!" AT one time I had many of his Dot 45's. But was was great in backing up Pat Boone and others in late '50's early '60's.
Hi Richard, I'm from Nicaragua, I`ve heard your father's music since I was a child and I still enjoy it; it makes me dream on olders times and remember to My father and Brother who like me loved those beautiful melodies; Oh God, how much I long for them. I'm and will be up to die fan of Billy Vaughn's music. William Montalvan
I used this song for a theme on my radio show in the mid 1960s. It was my favorite recording. I had some letters from Billy in the mid 1970s. He was great. My friend Del Casher used to play guitar with Billy. Wonderful video.
I remember this song when i was young. 50 years later i can still appreciate this meaniful music, thankyou for posting and i wish we had more great musicians like your father.
When I was a kid, my parents used to listen to Billy Vaughn's music and dance to it too. I still have a lot of records, 45rpm, which I treasure. I have just listened to SAIL ALONG SILVERY MOON, LA PALOMA, WHEELS, EINE NACHT IN MONTE CARLO, and I started to cry. Too many memories. Mr. Richard Vaughn has nothing to worry about: his father's music will be forever with us, deep in our hearts. Thanks a lot for posting this. Greetings from Switzerland.
Geniale Melodie und ein Super-Orchester. Billy Vaughn ist eine Legende. Habe vor Jahren per Zufall die CD Instrumental Classics gefunden. Eine Schatztruhe mit Klassikern früherer Zeiten, die ich fast alle aus meiner Kindheit kenne. Höchst empfehlenswert!!
One of the favorite records of my youth and it still sounds as fresh as ever - never forgot it, thank you Billy Vaughn. It must have been on an old 78 when I played it, what we called a wax record, and it had to be treated with loving care because if you dropped it that was it, it broke and you lost it. I'm sure I danced to it too, we had some great music to rock to in those days. Will download it tonight to my list of old favourites.
I was 16 & living with my Aunt An 18 yr old cousin was also living there We had one record & a wind-up gramophone This was the record We taught ourselves to Rock-Roll to Sail Along Silvery Moon I am now 73 yrs old & I still get goose bumps when I hear this beautiful song I can play it over & over again & NEVER get sick of it THANK YOU BILLY VAUGHN with all my heart XXOO
My parents had this record as well - it was a 78 I believe - and I can remember them playing it on our gramophone and dancing to it in the living room ... good memories
My folks use to teach American Round Dancing and had a dance they taught to this tune to middle-class people in their rec room at their home and elsewhere in N.E. Ohio. Brings back lots of lovely memories of people having a good time.
This is not just music. It is an epic reality ! When I heard this song after a long time I remembered vividly the USIS Library in Madras, India (where I first heard this song) including the furniture arrangement ! This is music from heaven! Billy Vaughn is a great soul ! May his tribe increase !
I am 70 years old and this is a lovely tune I remember and love to hear this song when I am dancing the bit when it goes didydidya I swing my partner around love it yes she loves it to can't do that with bang bang music of today u young ones real romance is old
Thank you can listening this lovely music , my favorite music of my favorite orchestra since I was young , especially when I miss someone when the moonlight are
I was hooked on this Tune, the very first time I heard it at a Friend's house recently, and so went Home and downloaded it from You Tube, to listen to, over and over a bunch of times. It is sooo beautiful ! I will be 54 September 2nd - Madam George/Boffyflow(Canada's West Coast)
@richnerdy I have been a fan of your dad's ever since I was 3 years old... I am 26 now... he was my first favorite artist, and still my favorite non-country artist. I make the distinction "Non-Country" as old country music is what I specialize in these days... but I still have a box containing nearly all your Dad's Dot LPs, plus a dozen or so reel to reel tapes of his. My Hands-Down favorite is "Wheels and Orange Blossom Special".
Nice!! Brings back a lot of memories esp when the radio stn way back in the late 70's or early 80's wld open transmission with a half hr program featuring an instrumental selection of various artistes for the day -Acker Bilk, Chet Atkins etc & me dad made it a pt to record all these selections on tape. After i heard the Billy Vaughn selections, really got me hooked the 1st time i heard it.
@rich nerdy Your fathers music will live on for ever. He is a real pleasure to listen to. Billy Vaughn's music sets me in a great mood every time I hear it being played. What a talented musician.
TenStarsplus!!! Timeless!!! The only one who EVER came close to Billy Vaughn on sax, was Guy Lombardo!!! They both had that sweet mellow mesmerizing sound!!! Thank you for posting this song!! Stephen
In 1958 a bar across the road from where my parents had rented a small house on Lago Maggiore played this tune practically day and night! Wish I could turn the clock back :(
practiced my first dance-steps to this music, after coming home from dancing-school. it was my fathers favorite ... and only record ... he owned at that time. thanks for taking me back to times long gone :o)
Top of the New Zealand hit parade just before I hit my teenage years. Loved it then and love it now. Those were the best years I ever had. I miss them today and I miss the music too. Thanks for the upload. Much appreciated.
Some of it does @3GreeneBJ, but sound engineers seem to have lost the skill that they used to have when recording music. In their minds, the drum is now a lead instrument and vocalists (I can`t really call them singers), can`t be heard unless they eat the microphone and then their voices are not really worth listening to. The quality of recorded sound has now deteriorated to the point where it doesn`t have the qualities of old and when you think of all of the the modern technology that the engineers have available to them, it is the perfect testimony to the lack of expertise in the studios.
My uncle, a merchant marine 1st deck officer, came back from a 2+ year voyage with many 45 rpm records he had bought in the United States. This one and Hernando's Hideaway were my very favorite! Played them over and over!
@richnerdy Hi Richard, bumped into this by accident and just wanted to drop you a note. Your dad was not only popular in the west. He probably wouldn'thave known this, but his music was adored by fans as far away as in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon). Sail Along Silvery Moon was an all time hit on Radio Ceylon (the only entertainment media. We didn't have TV then) and I grew up with such superb music. Best Regards, Jude
I never heard this album, but I remember "Golden Saxophones" , and I would recognize that sound anywhere - a beautiful, mellow sound. Thanks for posting.

Não tem como esquecer essas músicas de um tempo que passou tão rápido , só resta saudades .
This was a favorite dance song for my Mom and Dad. I have two copies of the single. I'll always remember it fondly and see my folks dancing to it
Fantastic Music....."REAL TALENT !!!!" Oct. 19, 2022.

A very popular perennial favorite in Sri Lanka even today. Great legendary music of a brilliant saxophonist of yesteryear !
Thanks for the posting.
this is still one my favorite big band songs I remember it since Iwas ten years old now I'm 65
지금은 하늘에 계신 아버지가 좋아하시던 빌리본 악단...이젠 내가 들어도 그리워할 그 나이가 되어 버렸네요.
Dear Billy Vaughn was certainly one of a kind...so much talent and oh, what he could do with a melody! Thanks for posting this. God bless!!
등교길에 레코드판가게스피커에서 언제나 빵빵하게 들려 오던 곡, 발걸음도 가벼워졌지요.. 감사^^
Wirklich sehr schön....erinnert mich an meine Lieblingsgruppe OK-Dreamband und ihre CD "Clarinet-Dreams" (iTunes, amazon).
WEZI radio about 30 years ago. WONDERFUL!
i shared this song w/my parents who enjoy his music...thnx for uploading this song for us to hear
I've always loved this guy since I was a little kid... so happy to hear the old 33RPM LPs on Dad's stereo :) RIP Daddy... And Billy too!
Timeless...sweet in sound.
Dedicada a mi papa Miguel Arnoldo González Rodriguez, de niño aprendia a disfrutar esta musica con el, que Dios lo bendiga " papi nondo".
i still love this tune . . . jst fabulous !!!!
practiced my first dance-steps to this music, after coming home from dancing-school. it was my fathers favorite ... and only record ... he owned at that time.

Top of the New Zealand hit parade just before I hit my teenage years. Loved it then and love it now. Those were the best years I ever had. I miss them today and I miss the music too. Thanks for the upload. Much appreciated.
BILLY VAUGHN FOREVER !
Well-Well-Well.... what a happy song.... Just love this and all the memories...
Isn't it wonderful how music can evoke a memory. So real, so many details. Some of this modern stuff doesn't have these some qualities does it?
Some of it does @3GreeneBJ, but sound engineers seem to have lost the skill that they used to have when recording music. In their minds, the drum is now a lead instrument and vocalists (I can`t really call them singers), can`t be heard unless they eat the microphone and then their voices are not really worth listening to.
The quality of recorded sound has now deteriorated to the point where it doesn`t have the qualities of old and when you think of all of the the modern technology that the engineers have available to them, it is the perfect testimony to the lack of expertise in the studios.
That‘s so Great!!!
My Mom's favourite song; my Aunt Muriel loved "Blue Skirt Waltz" Sail and waltz forever my darlings.
My uncle, a merchant marine 1st deck officer, came back from a 2+ year voyage with many 45 rpm records he had bought in the United States. This one and Hernando's Hideaway were my very favorite! Played them over and over!
I just love this man and his music. It never gets old!
A wonderful song! Remember my mom and dad danced to this melody
Some melodies never will be out of stile , and this one is the one thru the years!!!
Ein unvergessenen Hit. Habe ich so gerne gehört
❤😊
FANTASTIC...................................................................................
I was a DJ in the early 80s and specified in country music but did a lot of Billy.
Love listening to them. Such great music.
Bei dieser Musik habe ich meinen Mann kennengelernt es war alles viel romantische
One classic instrumental that will inspire generations to come. Pozdrowienia.
This music is so wonderful and you really want to move or dance to it. Thanks for sharing.
