"Summer Shellac" June 27, 2008

(Week 128)

This felt like a good week to transfer some 78s for an all-shellac RADIOLA! I've programmed selections from a couple of seemingly random piles that nonetheless managed to configure themselves thematically in my playlist. Most of this material has not been on CD, with a few notable exceptions.

Tune in tonight at 8 PM Eastern to WHCL 88.7 FM (with streaming HERE). The program will be uploaded to Live365 soon.
