AM650 WSM, coming to my receiver all the way from Nashville, Tennessee. When I'm DX-ing, I can get it every now and then.

There's just something special about hearing all those steel guitars crying, with the radio interference in the background, and knowing it's being transmitted from the Grand Ole Opry's station; legendary Country-Western's home.

Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra - "Nagasaki" from 1933...

For those who haven't heard it, it swings lightly, lightly and po-litely. Red Allen sings and trumpets.

More typical of the era is this Roger Wolfe Kahn side. For something from 80 summers past the fidelity of recording is almost unreal.

[V.C. Brunswick]

Irving Aaronson and his Commanders -- If I Had You (1929)
Victor 21867-A

 

[Fletch]

Common thread: both of the last 2 sides include Artie Shaw, tho he isn't featured.
This next one will remedy that. (He wasn't yet the King of the Clarinet, but he does good.)
