Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! Kitty and I just released a new episode of our weekly radio show and podcast – Jack Norton’s Old-Time Radio Show. Uff-da, this is a good ol’ good ‘un! Here’s some info on the program…
Travel Back in Time to the 1920s and 1930s!
Travel back to the 1920s and 1930s as vaudeville blues and ragtime hokum musician Jack Norton spins his favorite 78 rpm records from his collection. From early hot jazz to jug band blues, hillbilly hits to novelty swing, Jack’s love for vintage tunes shines through with every tune he drops on the turntable. Sit back, relax, and let the soothing retro vibes of the good old days soothe your weary soul.
