"Original Sync" March 3, 2017

(Week 454)

This RADIOLA! reflects on a century of (mostly) innocent fun.

Recent RADIOLA! programs may be streamed here at your convenience. Raise the fig leaf-cast here. Each RADIOLA! program is sent to subscribers on my mailing list (email here).

RADIOLA! is brought to you sporadically by (and in spite of) The Syncopated Times. Please consider subscribing. My (not disinterested) opinion is that it's a delightful paper.

Discographical information for certain selections below (particularly those on the Victor and Columbia labels) may be found using this excellent site: Discography of American Historical Recordings.
