It’s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary – Stanley Kirkby, 6.1 MB mp3 file.
A little something in pre-celebration of St. Patrick’s day. Originally recorded in 1913.
And according to Google Earth, it’s approximately 3440 miles from here to Tipperary.
This week’s comic is another mixed movie poster. A heartwarming tale of a boy, a girl, a horse, and a psychotic lunatic…
Am I Blue? – Nat Shilkret and the Victor Orchestra, 5.7 MB mp3 file
Let Me Have My Dreams – Nat Shilkret and the Victor Orchestra, 6.1 MB mp3 file
A couple of sad love songs today. No particular reason, except that I love the bandleader’s name.
This week’s comic is a little bit overprotective.
This isn’t exactly new, but it’s new to me.
I’ve Something in the Bottle for the Morning (Fu’ th’ Noo’) – Harry Lauder. 4.2 MB mp3 file.
A litlte song of drink and debauchery from 1909. This is the original 1-sided Victor purple label release. It was re-released in early 1921 as the “A” side of Victor 45205.
I think that my great grandfather must have been a Harry Lauder fan. There’s at least half a dozen of his records in the collection that I digitized.
I spent far too long working on the logo for this week’s comic…
Someday You’ll Say “O. K.” – Johnny Hamp’s Kentucky Serenaders, 5.6 MB mp3 file
It All Belongs To Me – Johnny Hamp’s Kentucky Serenaders, 5.8 MB mp3 file
Two highly danceable tunes from 1927. They’re both kind of stalker-like, but in an upbeat way. Sort of like a fast, foxtrot version of “Every Breath You Take.”
When he gets all steamed up, hear him shout: “Tip me over and pour me out!”

Clap Yo’ Hands – Roger Wolfe Kahn and his Hotel Biltmore Orchestra, 6.1 MB mp3 file
Victor 20327, sides A & B, 1926
A little bit of George and Ira Gershwin for you all. These are from the musical comedy “Oh, Kay!” There’s some static and record noise still in these files – I didn’t want to do too much noise reduction since that can introduce a bit of distortion.
