(Week 161)
For this RADIOLA! I've used mainly selections in which the "shellac sizzle" has been greatly reduced. Because I tend to be skeptical about the miracles of modern technology (and modern everything else), I've endeavored to exercise a light touch in my restorations.
Tune in Friday at 8 PM Eastern to WHCL (with direct stream here) and you'll wonder where the noise went. This show will be uploaded to my Live365 station shortly thereafter.
(Many thanks to George, Luigi, Rich, Randy, Chris, and The Codger for technical advice, suggestions, moral support, and contributions of recordings for this program.)

The Bonzo Dog Band is one of my favorites, I can't wait to hear the songs that inspired them. Zaniness is in the air....
Not only that, but there's much joyous Bonzo material (both the rare album used on this program and their own recordings) HERE.
The internet is a treasure trove, that's for sure. The moment I learned about the album here I started looking for it and found that site.
Another fine show. I wish I could get up to the record swap and look for goodies. But I know that I would come home with far more than I can afford. Maybe my lotto numbers will come in....
