Red Kirk - Careless Mind ~1952
Red Kirk was born in May 24, 1925 in Knoxville, Tennessee. He started playing steel guitar at the age of seven and switched to normal guitar at 10. He served US Army during World War II and upon his return, started playing on WNOX Knoxville. Kirk spent three years with Archie Campbell's touring show but his talent and voice led him back to radio and TV. He performed on WLS National Barn Dance in Chicago, the Big “D” Jamboree in Dallas and the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport and made guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
His first recordings were for the Mercury label in 1949, some being accompanied by noted session musicians that included Jerry Byrd (steel guitar) and Tommy...

Просмотров 272 дня назад
Domenico Savino was born in Taranto, Italy on January 13, 1882. He received classical music education not only for piano and composition, but also for conducting which would prove handy for his future. He came to United States in 1905 (and he would bring famous silent motion picture star, Rudolph Valentino, with him). At different times, Savino would conduct the CBS Symphony which was orchestra...

Ruth "Ginger" Callahan was born January 3, 1923 in West Virginia. She became quite the talented woman with the ability to play the fiddle, guitar, bass, mandolin and banjo. She had a few recordings toward the beginning of her career, but she was much more known as a radio, and later, television personality in the Louisville, Kentucky area during the 1960's and 70's. She would regularly appear o...

The group would play events around town as well as make it on the air ...
Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders - Turkish Towel ~1926
Просмотров 415 дней назад
Johnny Hamp was born on July 8, 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The story goes that he became a bandleader by chance when "The Serenaders" were performing in Hershey. He happened to be at the right place at the right time when the band leader had an argument with the orchestra and stormed off stage and out of the room altogether. In a textbook "fake it 'til you make it" scenario, Hamp, who had...
Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - She's No Trouble ~1928 (1946 Repress)
Просмотров 306 дней назад
Benjamin Moten was born on November 13, 1893 in Kansas City, Missouri. He grew up learning the piano, as well as wrangling people to form a band. His first recordings didn't come until age 30 though, made for the Okeh label, and were little more than revamped versions of typical New Orleans and King Oliver fare. All the songs he chose however had ragtime influence and a stomping beat that Moten...
Hank Williams w/ His Drifting Cowboys - My Heart Would Know ~1951
Просмотров 647 дней назад
I don't think there's any hope of this one being short. Hiram "Hank" Williams was born September 17, 1923 in Mount Olive, Alabama. He took a liking to music early on, sitting beside his mother while she played the organ at church and received his first musical instrument, a harmonica, at age six. The family often relocated for work until 1930 when his dad began an eight-year on and off again tr...

William John Clifton Haley was born July 6, 1925 in Highland Park, Michigan to quite a musical family, with his father playing country banjo and mandolin, and his mother being a classically trained keyboardist. Due to the great depression, his father moved the family to Bethel, Pennsylvania. His first performance was in 1938 at the age of 13 for a Bethel Junior baseball game entertainment event...

Lillian Hardin was born on February 3, 1898 in Memphis, Tennessee. Raised by both her mother and grandmother, a former slave, she grew up learning hymns, spirituals and classical music on the piano, however she took a natural liking to pop music and blues of the day. She first learned piano from her third grade teacher, followed by Mrs. Hook's School of Music, but graduated to formal musical ed...
Caleb Coy & The Bush Mountain Boys - I Wish I Had Died At The Altar ~1947
Просмотров 4810 дней назад
Today we hear a song by a voice who's face has been lost to history. An obscure artist, and by obscure, I mean that unless Caleb Coy is a pseudonym for someone else, this is the only record he ever produced. The Bush Mountain boys (I believe) are a studio band for Diamond to back up their solo country vocalists. This record only came in a three-disc album, Diamond D-6, "Hillbilly Songs", with C...
Bruce "Patti" Patterson The Banjo Wizard - St. Louis Blues ~1932
Просмотров 4011 дней назад
Today we have an artist who seems very much a showman and less of a recording sensation. Bruce Patterson, aka Patti, aka "The Banjo Wizard", seemed to be actively touring the west coast of the United States between 1930 and the late 1940s. From everything I've been able to piece together, he played many venues of varying size and reputation, he appeared on both Duke Ellington's and Bing Crosby'...

Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe was either born on September 20, 1890 or around 1884 or 1885. He was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana to Creole parents. His father left when he was three years old and his mother married a William Mouton which they anglicized to "Morton", and started going by Ferd as his first name. His first job in music came when he was 14, playing piano in a brothel. Par fo...
Bing Crosby w/ Jimmie Grier & His Orch. - I've Got To Pass Your House To Get To My House ~1933

Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr., born the fourth of seven kids in 1903 in Tacoma, Washington, shortly thereafter moving to Spokane where he would grow up. He got his first taste of performing when he took a summer job as a property boy for Spokane's Auditorium where he got to witness some big name performers and particularly fell awestruck by Al Jolson and his ad-libbing. Crosby graduated high s...
Al Dexter and His Troopers - Pistol Packin' Mama ~1942
Просмотров 6814 дней назад
Clarence Albert Poindexter, aka Al Dexter, was born May 4, 1905 in Jacksonville, Texas. He owned a bar in town during the 1930's and helped spread country music around his town, then known as honky-tonk. He would make his recording debut for ARC records on November 28, 1936 and is regarded as likely the first to use the term honky-tonk in a country song. In 1943, he had a smash hit with today's...
Nice! Can you upload the flip? This is the only good quality post of this 78 so far in the entire internet.
@@loogieloogie I'll try to dig it back out, but let me tell you, the other side is... it's not great. There's a reason I only posted this side...
Can’t get much snappier than this. Absolutely wonderful!
I've not heard this song or the singer since the very early 1950's. A sad wartime song with really very good guitar picking. Only when beginning to listen did I realize how much this was missed in my memory. Thankee to the uploader. The 78 r.p.m. record was in my mother's collection which is why I got to hear it way back then.
@@CrampedGrampy I'm glad it brought back some memories! I have a few other earlier songs by him on the channel and will continue to post more in the future (I have 2 or 3 more of his records), so stay tuned! I usually post old Pre-war or wartime country on Mondays.
He sure sounds better than Minnesota fats!!
Any true musical ear will recognise Willard for what he was- a unique voice in American music. I was first captivated upon hearing Mildred Bailey's interpretations of his songs. An aching nostalgic melancholy, deeply cinematic. There are some of us who couldn't forget Willard Robison even if we tried. Other lucky ones are, thanks to RUclips, discovering him for the first time.
Great record.
Sounds as an early electric recording to me......
This is country music to me.
I love it. This will become a hip-hop beat
We need good, snappy music.
AKA The Quack Quack Woof Song!
A real classic!
Not in my Kemp collection. Not common a common disc. Love Ennis!
What a great song.
Nice!................................................
Песня очень понравилась! Спасибо за Вашу работу. Люблю Ваш канал. ❤️🎶❤️
@@ФилиппПетрушевский Thank you!
"Brown Gal"!
GOOD OLD COUNTRY
Isnt that nice! A complete piece.
"Chick Bullock - Today". The picture is 50 years old!
Reminds me of the Kinks oddly.
Fine.
Somewhat over-processed....
@@Gennettor-nc8kx Probably. I've learned a ton in the 7 or 8 months since this was posted.
love it
This sounds like Super Mario world. I love it.
WOW! Talk about mad skills!
@@misterjive273 Right? I hadn't played it before last night and was blown away. It just had to be today's song.
Beautiful masterpiece.
Very pretty .....!!!
Great jazz record and description too. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy Lou Gold's dance recordings. This vocal chorus is interesting. These dance band sides often have a jazzy obbligato behind the singer, but here Kaufman and the alto sax seem like they're duetting. It sounds like they're singing/playing in unison with these subtle but interesting rhythmic anticipations and delays between them as well as some slick sax fills. Is this considered heterophony? Another great side!
Definitely prince’s band
Nice 😊
“You can flirt with noodle soup, sniff-but don’t give in!”…
Great talkie hit from Eddie Cantor's film, "Palmy Days. " Nice trombone bit. Thanks for sharing. Chick was so well known across the land in the thirties, I'm surprised he didn't go into politics!
This is Great! And what a lovely, clean recording. Thanks for posting.
Interesting commentary and I love the music. I used to own a copy of this record many years ago.
going on my wantlist immediately. it sounds like all of the ARC orchestra's all have a very similar line up during this time. a trumpet, an occasional trombone, 2 violins, maybe a cello. tenor sax, alto sax, string bass, and a slightly out of tune piano. whether it's Gene Kardos or Henry King, it seems like they almost all have an extremely similar sounding line up. Is it just me?
@@78s_TheArtists_AndTheHistory there's an occasional standout but I think by the mid 30s, most orchestras had found a homogeneous sound, watered down from the high jazz/dixieland/swing era. I think that's why I like 30s country or hillbilly music so much cause it ISN'T like everything else at the time.
Nice tune…first time I’ve heard it
vocal is really good...
thank you for your wonderful introduction
One of the very best of all the great dance bands…Kemp’s untimely death robbed a generation of fine pop music.
So sweet
Well, I’m at a loss for words…
Who makes the turntable in the picture?
@@alfrede.neuman8898 Audio Technica
Thanks for uploading classic hits
Jug music from back when "powdering your nose" was normal..., AND legal 😁 !
Bet it's a TRAIN WRECK song... Nothing like the Back To The Future train, this one couldn't jump worth beans 😖...
Probably I'd be listening to this live if I was there back in 1921. But since it's 2024, July in the middle of summer 🥵, I'm home eating a TACO(fajita 🙄), Goose Island BEER HUG IPA and enjoying this 'ol composition 👍 . Thanks for the UPLOADS you take effort in doing, means a lot 🥰 to my ears 👍 !
Very good song ...
❤❤
