This is my blog where I write about music, jewelry, and myself. Vaudeville, burlesque, blues, jazz, songs about baltimore, novelties, and whatever else I feel like posting. Mostly from my own LPs and 78s. Subscribe via any of the methods in the right-hand column. Please do not link directly to the mp3 files.

Burlesque Uncensored
A Bare Faced Documentary

Sketch:
Old Judge Montfort Rides Again
Cook1071, 1954

"Another SOUNDS OF OUR TIMES recording by Cook Laboratories, Stamford, Conn.," claims to have been "recorded in the flesh during a live performance."
The mp3 I've made is of a classic courtroom-marraige comedy sketch.
There's not much cast and credit information on the sleeve of the record, just some tomfoolery.
There are about a half dozen records called "Burlesque Uncensored." Somehow I ended up with three copies of this one. It's a fairly common record. In fact, more samples from this record (and a different cover) can be found at the Smithsonian Folkways site. The Smithsonian Institution! Now that makes me feel scholarly.
