The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

On New Year's eve day our shop is open for several hours and we'll entertain ourselves on what we expect to be a slow day. Between customers, my co-worker and I will start celebrating early with hors d'oeuvres and cider. I have selected the music, of both legal an illegal endeavors, to be enjoyed on my Colibri portable.

The Alcoholic Blues (rationing to prohibition)
What-cha Gonna Do When There Ain't No Jazz (prohibition and then what)
Just a little Drink (to hell with prohibition)
I Get A Kick Out Of You (what, no kick from champagne nor cocaine)
Willie The Chimney Sweeper (an opium kick)
Happy Days Are Here Again (hope is just head)
Singing In The Bathtub (clean-up time)
Sunset Cafe Stomp (get ready to party)
Hobo's Spring Song (quitting time)

Happy New Year!

Here in Somerset we make cider the traditional way.

Health and Safety fanatics should look away now........

Hmm, thank you very much, I'm sure it is quite tasty after that cider mash (mess) has been strained and triple filtered........... I think I'l stay with straight Bathtub Gin! The song progression and the content made listening interesting.
We were entertained.
