Long time DJ (40 years) Dad was a DJ in the 50's. His friends were in radio and the record business who handed out 45's like candy. Neighbor had a lucrative juke box route. Surrounded by records as a kid. Started accumulating (collecting) in 1959. My main area of expertise is 78 rpms, I've hosted a radio program the last 40 years dealing with vintage jazz, swing, western swing and some pre-war blues thrown in for good measure. I play only shellac on the show, outside of a few air shots. Eventually plan on submitting 78 rpm entries. Gotta get through these 45's first

DeweyGill SUBS 3 hours ago		78 RPM Walter Wiggins Orchestra - Deep In The Arms Of Love / Somebody Mighty Like You	While Brian Rust in ADBD credits the addition of a Marimba or Xylophone on the Lanin session, there is none to be heard. However, the Wirges A side does feature one prominently, not listed in the session details in the same book. This is likely one of the Green Brothers.
DeweyGill SUBS 14 hours ago		78 RPM Checker Box Boys - You're The Cream Of My Coffee / I Never Knew How I Cared For You	Very nice arrangement of Cream Of My Coffee and a well balanced recording

DeweyGill SUBS 15 hours ago		78 RPM Irving Kaufman - There's A Trick In Pickin' A Chick	Some ok guitar pickin’ on side A. Ed Lang? The flip laments the over saturation of “Crazy Words, Crazy Tunes”. This song, and “The Stein Song” were no doubt an annoyance to some in this era of phono records.
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Jun 2024		78 RPM Gus Van - Mindin' My Bus'ness / Promise Me Everything Never Get Anything Blues	Budd’s Music Shop was located in what is now the historic Atrium Building. In 1924, it was, like many music shops, next to the primary tenant, the Strand Theatre. As the “talkies” made their introduction in the late 1920’s, music shops reaped the benefits of patrons wanting sheet music and records from the show or movie they just saw. In Milwaukee, my hometown, I’ve found many record shops were located next to theaters and stayed open late to catch the customers. Sometimes the music store and theater had the same owner
