This is the kind of music I need to help me through the last few painful weeks of winter....a great new batch of scratchy old 78s, courtesy of my pal Andrea at Twindolicker's Journal. I particularly liked "I can't Dance (got ants in my pants) by Kitty Gray and her Wampus Cats, it's hard to manage a ...

There are just some days when I think to myself, “Damn, I could sure love to hear me some tunes of lumberjacks sitting on a tree stump eating johnnycake, and songs of Klondike gold miners, preferably with off-key background vocals and really odd scat singing.� So you can imagine my joy in discov...
