"Life Is a Song" March 26, 2010

(Week 201)

UPDATE: This program is now available as a 128k mp3 download here: HOUR 1 and HOUR 2.

This RADIOLA! agrees that Life is a Song, though sometimes it's more like the blues. Seriously, this RADIOLA! is as typically a miscellaneous assortment of shellac as you've come to expect here.

Tune in 8 PM Eastern Friday to WHCL (with direct streaming HERE and HERE). The show will be available on my Live365 station soon after the broadcast.

Wingy Manone meets Ochi Chornya? That should be good. Every time I hear the name, I think of Shop Around the Corner. (Wanna buy a music box that plays Ochi Chornya?) Looks like another good set.

Thank you! Wingy takes it over the top, as is necessary. I have him following a rather odd home recording I found last year to leaven the mood.

The Shop Around the Corner--I love that movie. We could use another Ernst Lubitsch about now.

Hello

Thanks for again a lot of fine music each week.
I will be listing every part.

Thanks, Ron!

Yes, Wingy did not disappoint on a single note. What a fun record. Gracie opening up the night's set is a kicker, too, and I never get tired of Red McKenzie's bands (btw, I finally scored a Candy Kids! - as The Dancing Stevedores). I like this week's show so much, I'm listening to it again right now.

Thanks again--I'm glad you're enjoying this program!

Finally I discovered a good radio of music '20 and '30. The perfect thing is that there are also the name and number of the vinyls so that I can find them on internet.
