American Jukeboxes on Parade: A Video Love Affair with the Jukebox

This extraordinary video shows you jukeboxes as you have never seen them before. It is purely visual, with music but no dialogue. Yet,in its sensuality and passion, it will make you care as much about jukeboxes as the devotee who traveled all over America to visit and video them. Although very artistic, this is not a slick video-- It is made with a handheld camera and you can occasionally see the camera shake as it approaches a rare vintage jukebox, as if becoming excited as it nears the object of its desire.

Play this video with your own favorite music. It would work at a party, at a club or in an intimate setting.
