Phantom Dancer Swing Radio Show

Cab Calloway Reefer Man

Hello Phantom Dancers,

I just realised that this year marks the 120th anniversary of broadcasting. Sending scheduled ‘radio’ programs including children’s shows, political talks, news, religious program, ads and live music over the telephone began in Budapest in 1891. The last such service closed in London in 1929

So, to celebrate, one set on this week’s Phantom Dancer goes pre-jazz and pre-radio as we know it with toons from the Music Hall

Another set goes all exotic with Yma Sumac, Martin Denny, Les Liebler and Enric Madriguera

And of course there’s lots of live 1920s – 60s radio swing & jazz

See times and play list on the Greg Poppleton Radio Blog: http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/cab-calloway-reefer-man-via-1932-television/

Enjoy!

Bobby Troup - My City Of Sydney

So much swing and jazz from live 1920s – 1960s radio and TV on the Phantom Dancer this Tuesday, 12noon and Saturday 6pm (+11GMT) on 107.3 2SER Sydney!

This week, Bobby Troup, connects the Phantom Dancer with this week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week. On the Phantom Dancer radio show, you’ll hear the singer, actor, composer and husband of Julie London MCing his late 1950s NBC TV and radio jazz show, ‘Stars in Jazz’ featuring some great music by the Condoli Brothers, Pete and Conte

Bobby Troup wrote ‘Get Your Kicks on Route 66′. He also penned the lyrics to local cult classic, with music composed and sung by Tony Leonetti, ‘My City of Sydney’. As you’ll see in this week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, ‘My City of Sydney’ was the closer for a Sydney TV station each night from the late 1960s until the channel began 24 hour telecasting in the 1980s. Enjoy!

Phantom Dancer Tues 1 Nov and Sat 5 Nov 2011

Hello Phantom Dancers,

Here’s the Phantom Dancer radio show play list for Tues 1 Nov at 12 noon and Sat 5 Nov from 6pm (+11 GMT)

You’ll note that The Phantom Dancer is a Melbourne Cup-free hour and a half. What a relief!

This week’s highlights include 2 Django Reinhardt broadcasts from Paris in the 1940s and a set of very early radio music from 1929 – 1931

And here’s the Phantom Dancer video of the week, road safety with the Don. Don Bradman, that is. He’s a cricketing legend. But the star of this film is 1948 Sydney. Most of the short is filmed at Bondi Beach. The kids running out from school across the road are from Bondi Beach Primary. The 409 bus was one I used to catch. It ran from Ashfield Station to Rookwood Cemetery. Enjoy!

Phantom Dancer Tues 15 Nov Sat 19 Nov

The Phantom Dancer has been on 107.3 2SER-FM since 1985. I’m happy to say I can still find fresh 1920s-60s radio & TV swing and jazz for your listening delectation and dancing pleasure twice every week. For example, the 1945 hit Sentimental Journey on this week’s show is a doozey sung by Metropolitan Opera Star, Lawrence Tibbett, and Hot Lips Page really swings in the modern way on Good For Stompin’

And of course, there’s always the Phantom Dancer Video of the Week for your viewing enjoyment. This week – two very short ‘Food Flashes’ from WWII. Be patient for the punch line. It’s ‘cute’

You can see the full Phantom Dancer play list for Tuesday 15 November and Saturday 19 November on the Radio Lounge link below, with times, station and links to live-streaming

Sammy Kaye 1942 and Photos Of Newly Revealed 1911 Signage

This Tuesday’s and Saturday’s Phantom Dancer features Spotlight Bands’ ‘Band of the Week’ for 31 January 1942, Sammy Kaye, over the Blue Network. And his best selling record that got him the ‘Band of the Week’ gig? A tune called ‘Remember Pearl Harbour’. Turns out NBC interrupted a Sammy Kaye program to break the news of Pearl Harbour being bombed, 7 December 1941. Hence the message song. And like all message songs, well, ahem, you be the judge

See the full play list for this week’s Phantom Dancer after these exciting pics

That’s right, photos. Instead of a Video of the Week, I’m posting some exciting archeological photos I took just a few hours ago.

There was a fire near me recently. A dry cleaners burnt to the ground. The building has been demolished. And behind a demolished doubled wall a well-preserved painted advertisement has been revealed

I guessed by the artwork and fonts that the ad was from 1911. A quick look at the Sands Directory tells me I’m about right

Read more. See the photos. See the Phantom Dancer play list for 29 Nov and 3 Dec 2011 at http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/840/
