aw heck, I can't help it...

...more of that early 30s stuff that has me so hung up.

Here's the Anson Weeks Orchestra, purveyors of what I call Live-Action Animation Music - elegant, high class stuff, but with that ten-ton tuba and plonk-a-chonk banjo beat that's guaranteed to send you googly-eyed, rubber-legged, and careening thru the streets on the back of a runaway milk-wagon horse.

You Little So-and-So, 1932 - Me Minus You, 1932 - You've Got Everything, 1933.

A century of MI6 - documentary on the World service. Very interesting.

Im listening to A Day in Radio WJSV September 21, 1939. 19 hours of broadcast from that day.

You shouldn't even be hearing this

The RCA Victor Electradisks are not your ordinary el cheapo 78 issues. Sure, this sounds like a straight ahead dance tune with a good beat. But just knowing about these platters puts you in a very weird little world indeed...a world of drab, squirrely men where the light of the outside world never shines and things like clothes and booze and, well, women, don't even exist.
Welcome to the Ghost World they don't make movies about.

78s to eat leftover cornbread by --

Now playing, Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra in 1931 with one of the definitive early versions of "Body And Soul." Satchmo of course on the vocal and trumpet solo, backed up by his mooing Lombardo-like sax section.

Next up, down we go to the Grill Room of the Hotel Taft for George Hall and his Orchestra, and his smooth 1934 recording of one of the great wish-the-Depression-was-over-already tunes, "When My Ship Comes In." In the vocal, the mention of "Paul Whiteman" is replaced by "George Hall," as the maestro himself gives out with a languid fiddle solo.

Cowboy Tunes and Canned Tamales

Nobody gets me quite like Gene Autry. Now playing: "Call of the Canyon" and up next is "An Empty Saddle"

[/IMG]

This plus Hormel canned tamales makes for a pleasant (and economical) break from housework.
