- This is - I hope! - a correction to a mikstake I made 11 years ago! When I uploaded a video of 'Grizzly Bear Rag', I accidentally first inciuded a fragment of another record.
Eventually, I noticed that people were asking what it was.
Only now, with great apologies, have I been able to identify the 'interloper' and upload it for you.
Wishing you all the best for 2024; surely it can only be better than 2023??
Best wishes to you all,
Norman.
Beautiful. I, too love these early intermezzo recordings. Thanks, Norman.
H Mike. Thanks for writing! Yes, very much the bandstand in the park before 1914 - people sat in deckchairs, listening - nurses with 'perambulators' being chatted up by soldiers & policemen! Cheers, Norman.
Glad to see that you are well. You are as precious as your records. Also, your classes are wonderful. Please, take good care of you. God bless you & your family.
Many thanks! Yes, we're still working on compiling lists of early electric pick-ups sold in the UK. There are far more than we thought! One is coming up quite soon I hope. Best regards.
Thank you, Norman! What a delightful little ditty. I was transported across time and space to beneath a potted palm tree or two sipping a nice cup of tea and nibbling biscuits -- and I am not even British!
Also who knew they were slapping such surreal titles on popular / light classical music a hundred years ago. The only thing fitful was when it ended and I felt sad and wanted to throw things or something.
Yes indeed, Michael. Subtlety is an increasingy rare thing in any type of music these days! Thanks for writing & best regards to you and yours.
Great Silent Film Music😊
Yes - it would fit perfectly for a 'girl meets boy' in the park - a slinet film of say 1910! Thanks for writing.
Many thanks from Sweden, Norman
You're very welcome. Hoping to bring you more discs & old equipment that you find interesting. All the best for now.
Fascinating record, and what a super, vibrant transfer Norman! Many thanks.
Thanks for writing! Yes - Slightly noisy, but better I think, than a digitally de-noised 'mumbly' sort of sound? Glad you agree, Take care, Thanks and best wishes to you and yours.
You're the best, i always like to watch your videos! ^_^ I hope to see more of your videos about music, technology and so on, from 10's, 20' and 30's !
Very kind of you to write, Ryan. Many thanks & all the best to you and your family. Cheers, Norman.
Lovely recording, Norman. Thanks for sharing this. See you next weekend. Regards, Matt.
AOK, Matt - will book table at Bell as usual. See you next Sunday! Cheers, Norman.
Hello Mr. Field! I hope you and yours are very well! Say, I came across a few 78's from what I think are British bands, but I can't find any information about them. I of course thought of our resident expert Mr. Field! The 78's are from Henry Hall, and Ambrose & His Orchestra, Ring any bells!
As always, I'm looking forward to your next video! Best Wishes!
Ah! Nice to hear from you. My friend Mike Thomas has a very good article on Ambrose on his website - look it up at www.mgthomas.co.uk . Take care & all the best, Norman. Wikipedia will also tell you at least something of Henry Hall.
Another fine record, thanks Norman!
Noce of you to write, OM! Am just reading Wireless World magazine from the mid 1920s as they advertise electrical pick-ups to go into your wireless set.. I guess you know, a huge collection of wireless & other magazines may be found (& downloaded) on www.americanradiohistory.com ? Not just U.S. mags, but also European... 73 for nw.
Crystalate also pressed Imperial records and I believe Jack Payne was involved in it too
Indeed they did! After years of custom pressing for others, they began in 1922/3 to make their own Imperial records. Some early ones used Popular and Bull Dog masters, plus their own new recordings. They received a big boost when, as you said, Jack Payne defected from Columbia in er. er. 1931? 😀
WHATTTT, HOW DID YOU FIND THIS?
Hi Norman, you seem very quiet on you tube, I rely on you to give me my fix of vintage 78 tech and music....hope you OK.....Best wishes from kent, uk
You are quite right, I am too silent! I suppose it's just Old Age, but I promise you a new video soon. It will probably be a magnetic pick-up arm made by BTH (British Thompson Houston), that remained in production for somehing like twenty-odd years, & was still selling stong in 1950! Cheers, Norman.
