Topic: John's Old Time Radio Show

[uncle bud]

Been listening to John's Old Time Radio Show and really enjoying it. John Heneghan of the East River String Band spins 78s from his collection. Blues, jazz, old time, Hawaiian, world music, all sorts. Plus lots of photos, label shots other stuff to ogle.

Fun! Keeps distracting me from work though....

The latest show has John Heneghan talking with Dom Flemons and breaks from the 78 rpm format to spin stuff from Dom's vinyl collection, focusing more on postwar field recordings and traditional music. Some interesting stuff and discussion from Dom. Fair amount of quills content. 

Other recent shows include a five-parter with Robert Crumb. Haven't listened to those yet (there seems to be congestion trouble at the moment getting them off iTunes).

Thanks for turning me on to this!

The latest episode of John's Old Time Radio Show features guest Don Kent, record collector, founder of the Mamlish label. Not a whole lot of records played but a lot of interesting talk from Kent about the music, early record collecting etc. He is definitely worth a listen, IMO.
