Starting off with an oddball hit from 1934, with Borah Minnevitch and his Harmonica Rascals squealing out "Chinatown My Chinatown." One of the earliest Decca releases, it was no doubt inspiration for thousands of desperate harmonicists trying to get on Major Bowes' Amateur Hour.

I've got some Vitaphones with Borah Minnevich. They're pretty goofy.

Just got a 2 disc set in the mail today of Webb Pierce - The Complete 4-Star & Pacemaker Recordings. 30 tracks of late 40's, early 50's honky tonkin' goodness!

78s to wonder if there's a convenient way to transfuse caffeine directly into my veins by --

Starting off with Big Hearted Arthur Askey himself, in 1940, with the ultimate brace-up-it's-the-Blitz song, "Bomb! Bomb! Get In Your Shelter!" "Get yourselves right under ground, when those Nazis fly around!" Yes sir!

Next, we slide smoothly back to 1930 with Gene Austin, and a very persuasive rendition of "Lies." Never trust a crooner.

So Lizzie, what IS the second coolest small town in America? For that matter, what's the first?

Those Owego people only won because they stuffed the ballot box. Bums.

Miss Molly, I love you already.

Bernie Cummins and His Orchestra - "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight" (Rec. 1930)

*Foot-taps and nods along*

Hamilton_Honey · 11-20-2009, 05:32 PM

78 on RCA Victor label

A - "Friendship" by Tommy Dorsey Family (Mountain Branch)

B - "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by the Hollywood Hillbillies with singing

So is anyone familiar with these? I get the idea they might be sort of Tongue-in-cheek spoofs playing off the country/hillbilly fad, but am not having any luck yet with a google search.

thanks y'all

This time I'm listening to my favorite dance band from the 20s and 30s: Isham Jones , the song "What's the Use" 1930, with Frank Sylvano as vocalist.

Rockland, Maine... reminds me of the line "...from the rock-ribbed coasts of Maine..."

But I may have jumbled it up a bit.

Ringworld, by Larry Niven, on cassette, purchased from the local library for fifty cents. I'd heard so much about it growing up, this is probably the only way to get to "read" it.

LadyStardust · 11-20-2009, 10:06 PM

For only about the 100th time, but it never gets old.

Oh, and Tchaikovsky's "Seasons".

Shangas · 11-20-2009, 10:07 PM
