Just heard Diz play Jazz Pie by Joe Haymes - very probably transferred from my own 1932 Columbia by IAJRC. :D

Following is George Burns jawing with announcer John Conte, who reminds us that Grape-Nuts have all the nutrients of any hot cereal - even served cold! Well gosh-all hemlock, whodathunkit.

Delta Bound - Chick Bullock & his Levee Loungers, 1933, featuring an unusual amount of Jimmy Dorsey's alto sax.

That's What I Call Keen - Eddie South & his Alabamians (it's hard not to type "Abalamians"), 1928. Eddie fiddlin' up a mess and the band doubles as vocal quartet.

Sweet Jennie Lee - The National Cavaliers, 1930. Proper close quartet harmony à la The Revelers.

Negra Soy (rumba) - Nilo Menendez y su Orquesta, 1934. The classic Cuban style of muted trumpet, piano and a whole buncha percussion. Cantado en español.

A Harlem Symphony (Part 1) - Spike Hughes & his Orch., 1932. An interesting experiment in Ellingtonia that actually doesn't sound like imitation Duke.

Singing Between Kisses - Joe Haymes & his Orch., 1934. Bud Freeman features with the snappy proto-swing outfit then resident at New York's McAlpin Hotel.

Just some of the delights to be heard over streaming Radio Dismuke.

The National Cavaliers are so very good, but seem to be missing something possessed by the Revelers, I don't know just what, though.

The Four Aristocrats are a terribly under-estimated group of this sort, with excellent guitar accompaniments.

I love everything that I've ever heard Eddie South play, most particularly his jazz deconstruction of that old concert warhorse "Hjere Kati", which he recorded for Decca in the late 1930's. South's Paris waxing of "Doin' the Raccoon", on La Voix de son Maitre K-5628 is also outstanding.

Spent the day thrashing on the apt. Best housecleaning soundtrack I can think of... old-time punk. Played to about 98 decibels.

78s to put black tape over my "Check Engine" light by --
QUOTE]

The most common cause for the "check engine" light to come on is a faulty gas cap. The code will read "small evaporative emissions leak".

When I get that code, I remove the gas cap, clean it and the filler pipe, and replace the cap. The "check engine" light then usually goes off several starts later.

Hope that helps.

Recorded 80 years ago today...

one of the great performances that got me started in this whole mess at the age 15. I still treasure it.


Click to play Hoagy Carmichael's Barbaric, January 6, 1930.

Those of you truly beyond help may recognize the second theme as a melody called In the Still of the Night, which Cole Porter liked enough to rip off the title.

Wilfred Glenn maybe? He was really the linchpin of that group with his reedy bass.

Haven't heard that version, but catch the 1931 Victor. I used to wonder whether Eddie was singing off-color on that one - he scats, then sings something almost intelligible, but not quite.

Not period, but fun nonetheless. I need something to put me in a great mood today. Lack of sleep makes me grumpy.

78s to wait for my stuff to thaw so I can bring it in off the clothesline by --

Now playing, an ode to etiquette from Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, as the Lombardo Trio sings "I Raised My Hat." The tenor is just touching the brim of his and nodding, though -- what a cheat.

Next up, north of the border in 1938 with Canada's favorite dance band, Mart Kenney and his Western Gentlemen, and Georgia Day vocalizing a very agreeable version of "There's Honey On The Moon Tonight." Must be kind of sticky, but what can you do.

Yup. He also just went by the one name Cornell, his real name being Cornell Smelser (which sounds like the setup for a joke, which may be why he didn't use it much).

He was Hungarian by birth, and quite a virtuoso. As this 1950 article details, he was very popular indeed until contracting tuberculosis in 1931. That stopped his career cold - we don't even know when he died.

Hey, excellent! Thank you very much!
