Today, you can no longer buy a Hit of the Week at your local newsstand - but you can visit Dismuke's Virtual Talking Machine each Thursday and listen to a great original recording from the 1920s or 1930s.  And unlike the folks in the 1930s, you won't even have to pay the 15 cents!

The Radio Dismuke blog is back and will once again be regularly updated.  In addition to the latest news about this website and Radio Dismuke, the blog will provide commentary and analysis about Internet radio and technology, the Internet radio crisis and the rebirth of interest in the popular music and popular culture of the early 1900s decades.

Leven Thirty Saturday Night
Earl Burtnett And His Los Angeles Biltmore Orchestra            1930
(Brunswick 4754)

Courtin Time
Earl Burtnett And His Los Angeles Biltmore Orchestra            1930
(Brunswick 4754)
 
 

Earl Burtnett is remembered as a West Coast band as a result of its affiliation with the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.  But the band also had lengthy engagements at the Rice Hotel in Houston and at some of the top nightspots in Chicago.  It was in late 1935 in Chicago when Burtnett came down with appendicitis.   Surgery was delayed because Burtnett's appendix had supposedly been removed by another doctor years earlier.  Unfortunately, as a result of the delay he died as a result of complications at the age of 37.

Both of these recordings come courtesy of regular guest contributor Matt From College Station.   Both songs were also composed by Earl Burtnett.  I think this is a great version of "Levin Thirty Saturday Night" and enjoy the radio broadcast style time signal at the beginning.

EXTRA

This section will  present 78 rpm recordings that do not fall within the range of the vintage pop and jazz  fare that I usually  present.  Here I will feature recordings from a wide variety of eras, musical genres and nationalities as well as occasional spoken word recordings.
 
 

 

Creole Belles
Sousa's Band                      1902
(Victor 1182)

St. Louis Rag
Pryor's Orchestra                1904
(Victor 2783)
 

Tomorrow is Independence Day here in the USA.  The Forth of July holiday always makes me think of outdoor concerts of peppy music played by military bands followed by fireworks.  So I thought it would be appropriate to feature recordings by two of the most famous military bands from the early years of recorded sound.  The old military bands played more than just marches and patriotic music - they also played ragtime, as evidenced by this week's selections. 

Both of these recordings, courtesy of regular guest contributor Matt From College Station, are from early 7 inch single sided discs.   During the very early years of disc records, 7 inches was the typical record size as opposed to the 10 inch size which quickly gained popularity and became the standard size of popular music records for over 40 years.   It wasn't until 1908 that Victor and Columbia introduced double sided records.  Matt inherited these records from a Fort Worth record collector named Rob Robinett and they are fairly hard to find. 

"Creole Belles" composed by J. Bodewalt Lampe was regularly featured in concert by John Philip Sousa's band.   Ten years after this recording was made, the Sousa band made another recording of "Creole Bells" for Victor. 

John Philip Sousa did not like the phonograph and considered records to be "canned music."  Therefore, most recording sessions by the Sousa band were, in fact, conducted by Arthur Pryor who performed with the Sousa band from 1892 to 1903 and was Sousa's Assistant Conductor.  It was Pryor who also introduced ragtime music into the Sousa band's repertoire.  Sousa was not especially fond of the new style of music and some of the band's musicians thought it was beneath them.  But, because of its increasing popularity, ragtime became a standard part of performances by Sousa's and other military bands of the era. 

After Arthur Pryor left the Sousa band in 1903, he became a Music Director for the Victor Talking Machine Company and conducted over two thousands sides for the company over the next two decades. 

"St. Louis Rag" was composed by Thomas Turpin.  Turpin operated the Rosebud Bar in St. Louis which became a gathering place for black ragtime musicians and composers, including Scott Joplin.   Turpin wrote "St. Louis Rag" in 1903 for the St. Louis World's Fair, also known as Louisiana Purchase Exposition, which was supposed to open that year on the one hundredth anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase.  Instead, the fair was delayed until 1904.
