      The music & your character (going by your replies) shows real grace & you call the tunes beautifully!
      I hope to put some good content on Facebook myself but don’t have the emotional strength @ the moment.

    I worked in McDonald's from 1980-1981 in Whitestone, Queens, NYC when I turned 20 years old. What we are hearing is the music played in the dining lobby while I prepared the lobby...... setting the ash trays on all the tables, washing the windows, sweeping and mopping the floors, and yes....cleaning the toilets in the MEN'S and WOMEN's bathrooms...without gloves. Oh yes, one more thing...attaching and raising the American flag on the flagpole in front of the building.

      @sgnmath1234, everything sounded really nice in your comment, except I don't think they should have made you clean the toilets without gloves😬😲😦! And I remember going to McDonald's as a Kid from 1980 to 1981, but I'm not from New York. As a child from the 1970s and the 1980s I always liked that calming music they had in stores and restaurants! However, I remember the McDonald's playgrounds, delicious milkshakes especially around 🍀🍀 St Patrick's Day 🍀🍀the shamrock shake🍀🍀, and the Happy meals with toys🍔🍟🦄🐻🧸!!!

    I love this channel! I never thought waiting room, elevator, and mall music would be something I would associate good memories of the past with. A lot of time was waiting in lines for the dentist, grocery store, the gas lines. I remember those long gas lines. It makes me think back to fond times as a kid and reflect on my parents trying to do their best even if this music wasn't playing. It's sad how times have taken simplistic relaxing music out of the equation. I think society can benefit from background music of Muzak, really helps calm the mind.

    One of my best memories of being a child is going to Big Boys in a driving snow storm. It was 11:30 at night and some relatives were visiting us. My uncle said he was hungry and wanted a burger. Everyone else said yes so we went and got them! The world outside was all white with snow! I do not know why the burger sticks in my mind. 1976 seems so far away now.

    I recognise so much of this lovey music, most, perhaps all of it originates from the UK, Particularly good is the magical harp playing and composition of David Snell 8:07 and other tracks later on. Most of this music comes from the "KPM music Library" often bought and used in the USA.

    The first advertise, the slinky is the 1 my parents offered me in 1978. It was the beginning of the fashion for rollerskate + disco at that time in Geneva. They opened the fair of the leisur, something like that in a huge exhibition hall. They put 1 dancefloor &1 guy with his huge cobra around his neck. Weird things...

    There is something about the 2nd slower part of the muzak featuring the family in front of the blank t.v. screen I return to over and over again. There is such a flood of memories when that second part plays. It's almost like looking at the sunset and wondering...where did life go? I think Stuffer is a master of sequencing these pieces.

    I'm rather fascinated by these light sounds. While still rather bland and generic, there are some points of interest in the music, things that you would rarely hear in the pop music of the 60s and 70s. Muzak is sort of like smooth jazz before smooth jazz existed.
