[Dixielandjazz] Scratchy Grooves

[Stephen G Barbone]

About once a year I post the below site for new members and for those  
who forgot about it. It contains mp3s of radio shows broadcast from  
the University of Delaware's radio station from 1984 till about 2003.

These shows were once a week and the mp3s of them vary from 60 to 90  
minutes. The were hosted by the late Bill  Chambless who had an  
enormous collection of OKOM. These shows played his personal records.

The shows were themed, eg. "Love Songs", "World War One Songs", "Songs  
of the Depression"
"Radio Ladies of the Thirties", "Money Songs", "Early Bing Crosby",  
"Isham Jones", 2 shows devoted to Rodgers and Hart, etc., etc., etc.

Lots of material here (over 200 hours I think) for both fans and trad  
bands.

I guarantee that you won't be disappointed at this site, except that  
some of the records are scratchy, hence the name:

Bill was a good friend of mine and Pete Pepke. He would come and hear  
my band play at local clubs in the 1990s back when Pete Pepke was on  
trombone and Al Smith was on banjo.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
