A rather diverse sampling of a few of the audio restorations that have recently been added to Radio Dismuke's playlist.

Over the past few months, I've added a lot of recordings from the 1920s decade. So, for the past couple of weeks, I have been mostly focused on adding recordings from the 1930s so that both decades continue to be well-represented in the station's format. The recordings posted at the link are some that particularly impressed me for one reason or another.

  Here's a sampling of some of the recent audio restorations that have been added to Radio Dismuke's playlist. Brief information about the selections can be found following the recordings.   "Old Fashioned Love" Clyde McCoy And His Orchestra (Decca 509-A mx C 9960) ...

From 1925 - A fun record issued at the height of the mid-1920s Charleston craze. If you are looking for recordings that capture the decade's famous "Roaring '20s" spirit, this recording of "You Told Me To Go" should be on your list.

From England - Two 1923 recordings, one a jazzy cat song, the other a revival in dance tempo of a Victor Herbert composition that, in 1901, was the theme song of the 1901 Pan American Exposition World's Fair in Buffalo, N.Y., sadly best remembered as the site of President William McKinley's assassination.

From 1928 - A hard-to-find record with two nice performances by an ensemble of Chicago-based musicians - though, sadly, the fidelity of the label's home-grown electrical recording system was below that of other companies during the period. One of the recordings features some really nice, peppy Harry Reser/Clicquot Club Eskimos banjo passages by Bill Haid, who was also the banjo player for the Coon-Sanders Nighthawks.
