I went to the record store, so my loss of money is your gain in music!
Les Brown, Harry James, and Sammy Kaye all graced our airwaves today on sweet, glorious vinyl long-playing records.
Possibly the best ensemble name in existence. Also includes a token female-vocalists set for all you Jo Stafford lovers out there

Today I featured a few tracks from the heyday of Okeh (o-kay) Records, later purchased by Columbia but originally started in 1918 by a German immigrant by the name of Otto K. E. Heinzelmann (Hmmm…wonder where the name comes from?), as well as some even earlier vaudeville sketches, then a return to our usual Jitters fare for loyal fans. The sound quality isn’t too bad, especially in comparison to some of the other early 1900’s stuff I’ve found.
