Jack Norton’s Old-Time Radio Show – Ep. 24: Jug Bands, Boogie Blues, and Hot Rags! [LISTEN]

ByJack Norton

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, 1930s, and 1940s 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.

If the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, new episodes drop every Tuesday.

Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! I've been singing vaudeville blues music since 1925. I also host a radio show (and podcast), make movies, write books, and perform children's music under the name "Conductor Jack". I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota (where I learned to drink lutefisk lattes and say "uff da"). Currently roaming around the world singing on street corners, in concert halls, and everywhere in between. My wife's name is Kitty and she's the brains behind Pa.
