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.

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.

I should be eating corn pone with this...

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.
