This July, I've added some interesting music into the Swing City Radio rotation. I covered the music from The Abbott and Costello Show in a previous post. There's more than sixty new tracks from that show now on the platform.
Also added this month so far:
Music from "The Tommy Dorsey Show":
Some select tracks from this show include "Snooty Little Cutie", "Backstage At The Bali" and a fantastic version of "Not So Quiet Please"
Music from "The Woody Herman Show":
Songs from the show include "A Kiss Goodnight", "Put a Ring on That Finger" and a very interesting rendition of "On the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe". I'd like to add more from this series but I'm currently running into a quality issue. I'll keep you posted if I stumble upon some more music from that show that has audio that I can work with. Unfortunately, some of the material found in the dusty archives of old time radio were originally poorly recorded.
Music from "Fibber McGee and Molly":
I've added some very good Billy Mills tracks from this show including: "Ive Got A Feeling I'm Falling" and "Holy Smoke, Can't You Take a Joke".
Music from "The Dennis Day Show":
Some of the track highlights include Johnny Mercer performing "Lonesome Polecat" and an excellent performance of "Minnie the Moocher" by Cab Calloway.
I've also added a boatload of old commercial spots, PSA's and clips from those infamous, tacky education films to the "After Dark" playlist. Keep an ear out for select clips from a film called "Eat For Health". I think you'll get a kick out of those. In fact, some of those made it onto the podcast.
And, believe it or not, I working on Christmas music but you won't get to hear them until after Thanksgiving. 😀
Enjoy!
