    IT'S NEVER TOO LATE... after a lifetime of extreme poverty & hardships, this guy has only in the last year or two begun to have a "successful career", starting at age SIXTY-TWO... LOVE these kinds of stories... First, a trailer for the forthcoming documentary film on vintage-style singer...

    What are you listening to?

    Indeed! Wish I could get it on MP3 or CD on amazon.com... Fun stuff from 2010 (or is it 1945?): Gotta love the note-for-note repeat of the 1940's Charlie Parker be-bop jazz solo by the gal in center at 1:50 ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npA7t_RH614...

    "handsomely impressionist"... that'd be a good description for ALL of Duke's music. At least everything up until WWII, after which his previously impeccable sense of Good Taste seemed to come and go, at least to my ears...

    What are you listening to?

    Bought 2 copies of that vinyl album from thrift stores in the '90s in college, to hear both sides on the stacker turntable without having to flip over... Not many jazz "with strings" albums I like, but here's a great one, 1955, Clifford Brown, a year before his tragic death at age 25... Saxist...

    ...and the pre-1980's-version of the bands Cameo (when they were on Chocolate City records), Fatback, Brass Construction... man I was HOOKED on that stuff by the age of 3, mom told me I was a hit with the sales guys in the local K-mart store when they'd put on a K&G 1975 "Best Of" LP and I'd "go...

    Jukeboxes

    Nice jukes, Lee & Norman. Yup, dhermann1, you called it.... Lee, you've got a good ear: T.D.'s "Opus #1" is My alltime #1 favorite big band swing song. (After over 20 years of big band listening, since my granddad gave me his 78s in elementary school.) Luckily, not hard to find on 78...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Oh man, that's too bad. Went to see him live about 10 years ago, got his autograph on one of his old records from the 1950's, now in the juke... a very cool person.

    My Finest ART DECO Item

    TRULY AWESOME. Love classic American-made power tools (have & use a couple power hand tools from my granddad from the 50s which I replaced the crumbling power cords on), but never seen anything quite like some of these before. Thanks for posting.

    My beautiful new briefcase...STINKS!

    For really strong cases, if other suggestions don't work: Cat litter. (decent brand, no walmart generic)

    What are you listening to?

    That's been my favorite recording by any artist, in any genre, from the 1950's, for a while now... (and been listening off-and-on to '30s-'50s stuff since I was a kid in the '80s)... a "Perfect Song" if there ever was one. Previous '50s favorite (and still a close second): Jimmy Dorsey's "So...

    Wikipedia will be blacked out!

    I can't believe it took until the 3rd page of this thread for someone to post this blindingly obvious point... Disappointed... From what I've read of SOPA, The Fedora Lounge would quite likely be shut down... Take a look around at our "sticky" reference threads, and our most popular threads...

    Quite an Interesting Symphonola Jukebox Spotted at Antique Mall

    Nice. Made by Seeburg, circa 1935-38, just before the "light-up-plastics jukebox" era which started around '38. 20 selections on 20 discs (top-facing side only), on a mechanism with 20 sliding trays, similar to the famous Wurlitzer "Bubbler" arch-top juke's sliding tray mechanism, but the...

    Technical question, can't find answer in FAQ: I'm sure the answer MUST be in the FAQ, I just can't find it: I'm trying to find out how to search a loooong thread for replies by me. Specifically, can anyone tell me how to search This Thread: (Radio -> What Are You Listening To)...
