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"!

1959??!!!?!

What the blue foo am I doing listening to a record made in 1959?
Well, it's kinda funny...the record that is.
Dig Stanley Ralph Ross and Bob Arbogast in Chaos - spelled K-O-S.
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.

Tonight has been a rather eclectic collection of works.
Genesis’s “Mama”
Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald”
And Hans Zimmer’s “Fighting 17th” from the movie Backdraft.

Next on queue are:
John Williams Superman Theme, and Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 11 'Turkish March' in A major as played by Albert Casper.

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.
