"The phonograph† is not of any commercial value."

What a riot! :lol:
The Static Strut makes this great fun!

It's a little less wild when the actual song is heard... :?

But how they cut loose with Hawaiian fever! So foreign and exotic.

What a tragic end :lol: :lol:

I do know one thing, if I come home with one more machine the number of ruined relationships will rise by 1.

I'm curious what movie that clip came from. The Hawaiian records brought back memories when I was stationed in Hawaii for 2 years. Great duty. I guess I'm the only collector who likes Hawaiian records. Pass the Poi and Kahlua pig!!!! :lol:

One of the really under appreciated hot bands of the 1920s and early 30s.
