For really vintage music fans

[Eyeball]

This looks like possible fun-

The Radio Dismuke "mobile studio" recently traveled
from Fort Worth to Waco, Texas to record a special
"Texas Record Collectors Party" broadcast. Joining
me were fellow Texas record collectors and regular
Radio Dismuke and Dismuke.org contributors Eddie The
Collector from Waco, Matt From College Station (from
College Station, of course!) and Christian Kohlhaas
who traveled in from Austin. The purpose of the
broadcast was to have fun sharing great vintage
recordings from our respective 78 rpm record
collections.

The program mostly features jazz and dance band
recordings from the 1920s and 1930s - but we also
included a few records from the 1910s, the 1940s and
even some vintage records from Britain, Germany and
Soviet Russia. Some of the recordings we feature
are quite rare and many have never been subsequently
reissued on LP or CD.

And what's a party without refreshments? We actually
had some: a 1904 vintage patent medicine that is still
being made along with a couple of unusual soda pops
which originated from 19th century medicinal remedies.
For fun we actually sampled them - some for the very
first time - while we recorded the broadcast. I think
it is safe to speculate that no other vintage music
radio program has ever done anything quite like this
before - and probably with good reason! Not to worry
though - most of the program is devoted to playing
really outstanding 78 rpm recordings. And thanks to
Radio Dismuke's Souvenir VSP real time audio
restoration equipment, the sound quality on most of
the 78 rpms is excellent.

The broadcast lasts 2 hours and 52 minutes* and will
be aired on Radio Dismuke at the following times:

technical issues which might impact the broadcast will

We had a lot of fun putting this broadcast together
and I hope you get a chance to join us for one of the
airings and enjoy some of the great recordings that
we played.

* NOTE: The broadcast runs 2 hours and 52 minutes.
Our original intention was to record a 4 hour
broadcast but, unfortunately, the power supply in my
control board began to fail and we had to cut the
broadcast short. However, because it was our
original plan, there are several references during
the broadcast of it being 4 hours in length.
