(Week 301)
This RADIOLA! indulges in a bit of painless nostalgia, but with better transfers. Don't stop me if you've heard these!
RADIOLA! streams continuously through my Live365 ststion. I'm walking backward for podcast. RADIOLA! is sent each week to subscribers on my email list.
Note: Bryan Wright of Rivermont is looking for recordings by bandleader Julie Wintz for a CD project. Anyone with good copies of Wintz recordings on Perfect or Pathe Actuelle or any of the Columbia subsidiaries (Harmony, Diva, Velvet Tone) should contact him here. He particularly needs a copy of "Pretending" on Harmony 906-H, Velvet Tone 1906-V, or Diva 2906-G. (The flip side is "Deep Night" by the Golden Gate Orchestra.)

An excellent program, Andy!
I'm so pleased you continue to feature one of the greatest singers of the 1920's, Annette Hanshaw.
Not only lovely to look at, she was one of the purest singers around - except her bow to commercial interests with Hawaiian music and Betty Boop imitations. It was a pity that, as the Swing Era commenced, she dropped her career.
I keenly recall the late great Brian Rust annoucing on his British Capital Radio program "Mardi Gras", during the 1980's, how his English listeners had voted Miss Hanshaw their top favorite vocalist.
That you also feature many well-remastered & sonically imporoved discs of bands who are quite obscure makes Radiola! required listening to any serious devotee of 1920's pop/dance/jazz music.
All the best, Andy!
Nick,
Thank you! I think this show came out beautifully. I was lucky to have nice clean copies of some of these selections, now transferred decently.
I think the Annette Hanshaw disc I found was one of her best from the '20s. And no apologies for following Annette with Ruth Etting in one of her own better performances.
I just have to practice spelling "revisited."
Andy
