Today I've been listening to Raymond Scott, Helen Kane and a contemporary artist called The Caretaker, who does weird things to old 78rpms from the 1920's and makes them sound spooky and odd.
The Caretaker took his name from Kubrick's film The Shining because he liked the mood that Kubrick created with the eeriness of desolate ballrooms and distant popular ballads - in the case of the film Al Bowlly with the Ray Noble Orchestra, of whom I am a big fan!

A Salute to Radio: The Milton Berle Show September 16, 1947.
I am a slow learner so I just found all types of old time radio programs on iTunes :eusa_doh:

Now I see that the original "Galloping Gourmet" is on the Cooking Channel...I always got a good laugh from him when I was younger....still laughing now but I think because it reminds me of a poor imaitation of the "Dean Martin Show"!

What the blue foo am I doing listening to a record made in 1959?
Well, it's kinda funny...the record that is.

This, ladies and gents, was radio...after television got thru with it.

Wow! Good stuff; thanks, Fletch! I remember this showing up from time to time on local Los Angeles radio when I was younger.

Joe Venuti's Blue Five sides from 1933 are well known, but he had a fine working big band that year, too.
Several good vocalists feature, as well as fine guitar work by Frank Victor, who had just replaced the late Eddie Lang.

I Want to Ring Bells - Don Elton
Build a Little Home - My Dancing Lady - Howard Phillips
Isn't It Heavenly - Paul Small

Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald”

I have always liked that song. I remember listening to that in my grandmother's bedroom in Virginia Beach, Virginia on the transistor radio she gave me to go to sleep by.

The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, rehearsing for tonight's live performance of the original 1928 score to Buster Keaton's "Steamboat Bill Jr.," for which I'll be projectionist. They visit us every year, and it's the show I look forward to the most each summer.
