Bob Davis1 20th Oct 2020		78 RPM Jimmie Adams And Bud Jamison (The Rolling Stones) - Down By The Old Rio Grande / Mountain Angel	Even older than Keith Richards.
Bob Davis1 23rd Aug 2020		CD Album Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road	Track 7 (Can't Let Go) with Dobro and two slide guitars! Wow!
Bob Davis1 13th Jun 2020		Vinyl Album Bangles - All Over The Place	I bought the album mostly because of the "Live" track. And the cover photo with Ms. Steele listening to a 45 playing on a repurposed vacuum cleaner caught my attention.
Bob Davis1 16th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album Shel Silverstein - Songs And Stories	Many tracks that received airplay on the Dr. Demento Show.
Bob Davis1 22nd Mar 2020		78 RPM Jimmy Wilson - Tin Pan Alley / Big Town Jump	I picked up a copy of this back in 1958, when the music store where I worked was clearing out the 78s. Some really deep blues, sounds like it could have been recorded in some dive bar in West Oakland. Robert Geddins was the owner of Big Town Records--he supported himself and his record business as a radio and TV repair tech.
Bob Davis1 14th Mar 2020		78 RPM Herb Jeffries - Twilight / Pagan Love Song	This may answer the questions about old record labels that had "Not licensed for radio broadcast" printed on them. I remember hearing recordings by Herb Jeffries on the radio back about 70 years ago. Many years later I would learn that he starred in a number of low-budget Western movies as "The Bronze Buckaroo", becoming a screen hero that the "colored" kids could relate to.
Bob Davis1 6th Mar 2020		Vinyl Album Cass Elliot - The Road Is No Place For A Lady	Cover photos taken a the Travel Town railroad exhibit in Griffith Park (Los Angeles)
Bob Davis1 27th Dec 2019		78 RPM Phil Harris - That's What I Like About The South / Brazen Little Raisin	I have a copy of this that my parents bought back in the 1940s. They had seen the Phil Harris orchestra "live" back in the 1930s. I was rather amused to find (many years later) that Mr. Harris was really from Indiana. We could do a segue from "That's What I Like About the South" to "I Wanna Go Back to Dixie" by Tom Lehrer, which dates back to the early 1950s.
Bob Davis1 19th Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Various Artists - I Dig Rock And Roll	I bought a copy of this back around 1958, and considered the title rather misleading because the tracks are more in the Rhythm & Blues genre. I probably bought it to get a recording of "My Saddest Hour" by the Five Keys.
Bob Davis1 2nd Oct 2019		Vinyl Album Fanny Brice - Fanny Brice Sings The Songs She Made Famous	Crank up the gramophone, time to transport back to the 1920s. The first song from this collection that I remember is "Second Hand Rose", which I heard back in the 1950s one night when a Sacramento radio station showed up on my radio in the Pasadena area. It was a show sponsored by the original Shakey's Pizza Parlor, and they had a section called "Shakey's Old Curiosity Shop" where they played old 78 RPM records from long ago. Moving into this century, in 2010 I started a column in the e-zine "DaBelly.com" which I dubbed "Bobby Boy's Old Curiosity Shop", where music, travel, technology and anything else I wanted to discuss was fair game.
Bob Davis1 9th Aug 2019		CD Album The Derailers - Reverb Deluxe	Track 07, *No One to Talk to (but the Blues)* was originally recorded by Jack and Jill on the Caddy label in Los Angeles back around 1957.
Bob Davis1 27th Feb 2019		Vinyl Album The Coasters - The Coasters	First LP I ever bought (I was 17 at the time). Note that some of the songs were recorded by The Robins, two of whom became the first iteration of the Coasters. And yes, I still have it.
