The first Spaniels release on Chicago's Vee-Jay Records "Baby, It's You" w/"Bounce" on the flip, and second ever release on the label, VJ-101 was a huge hit. A great 2-sider. July 1953 #78rpm #chicago78s #musicsky #art

"Sunset 1919" at Lookingglass the other night was beautiful and utterly moving and emotional. Left speechless. RIP Eugene Williams and all victims of senseless, wretched, sickening racist violence.

Just wild all the discussion about the Odyssey when literally 99.999% of these people never read it. Same with the "mah Bible" folks - never read it but know a few scraps of sermon fodder so they are ready to fully run their mouth about, like, 10 passages max that they have heard

Bessie Smith "T'aint Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do" 1923, recorded in NYC Classic shit. Not too many ppl have a copy of this immortal 78. One of the earliest blues standards. #78rpm #musicsky #bessiesmith #art

I DJed a shuffleboard competition event today on a rooftop which was also a cannabis consumption event - this really needs to be more of a thing, so much fun!!

Gladys Palmer - "Song Man" Recorded in Chicago in 1947. Palmer had a massive hit with "Fool That I Am" a couple years later, but this is her forgotten, dark and bluesy gem that to my ears sounds like it was more than a little inspired by Holiday's "Strange Fruit." #78rpm #chicago78s #art #musicsky

Great article at the Campbell/Clemson archive & running history of Chicago's 78rpm scene and labels like Chance that made some great records in the 50s et al. Also a very cool Schoolboy Porter I recently found campber.people.clemson.edu/chance.html #78rpm #chicago78s #musicsky #art #chicago

And like first of all, why did they decide to build a highway into the danger zone?

Recorded in Chicago in 1942 at the old RCA Victor studios which used to be in the Merchandise Mart. #chicago78s #78rpm #doctorclayton
