Hey Annie, I like the pioneer era stuff, too. Wish more people had such a diverse interest in music. I mostly keep it to myself as I don't like that odd look from people. Thanks for posting. I can get into this !
Excellent. You're one of the rare folks! There's a few here of similar diverse tastes who comment regularly, so join in! :?D If you dig through the nearly 6,000 videos here you'll find lots of hornies (pre-mic. 78s), and there's hundreds more to do.
@ Some just can't see how I could like jazz-age music at the same token the pioneer rock and R & B of the 50s and the psychedelic '60s. It just depends on what mood in into at any given moment.
This is some virtuoso performance, both by Charles & his accompanist. His instrument sounds remarkably violin like, certainly not the 'stroh' that you mention. Think these would be used more in studio bands that backed vocalists. Had I lived in the 'hornie' era my solution to the lack of directional soundwaves would be a violin with no 'f' holes, but the area where they would be thinned out to give the sounding board flexibility. The front of the instrument would be open, so as to project the sound toward the recording horn. I may even consider making the instrument slightly cone shaped. I'd call it the 'projectolin' Wish I knew an instrument maker so I could try this idea out.
Have you ever seen the Laurel & Hardy short, "Unaccustomed As We Are"? It's their second or third sound film, a hilarious domestic comedy where Oliie's wife, who's hostile to Stan can't take it when they put on a 78 and start prancing. She grabs the record, busts it on Hardy's head and shouts, "Ya big fruit!" It's classic. Subject change. Yesterday I processed two 1928 German label 78. These records were never touched by a needle.Also did a 1923 single-faced VICTROLA of Caruso in English. This is gonna be a great year but I fear losing the audience. These things to have survived decades and finally maybe entering a space where they'll speak, sing and play for years to come, what a possibility.
@@AnnieVanAuken Remember it, and others well! Despite my mother's great sense of humour, she NEVER found them funny & went into nagging overdrive when a series of their films appeared on the small screen one Christmas. My father would laugh & kick his feet in the air until his slippers flew off! Funny, men don't do that any more when they laugh.
@ What's truly odd is how young men wear things on their feet, like slip-ons with no heel and flip-flops, that my dad wouldn't be caught going out in public with.
Time Travel With Annie.
Has a ring to it.
@nnie's TIME WARP Again
More accurate. ;?D

@@muffs55mercury61 My tastes are even more diverse, as this channel indicates.
@@AnnieVanAuken Awesome.
