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.

This clip is so terrible I couldn't even listen to it again to make sure the mp3 sounds right. Drawn out joke with a stupid punch line.



I want to research the correlation between the quality of the ads on an inner record sleeve and the quality of the record itself. Here are three other gems from United Artists list of mostly Soundtracks:

I'm so glad to find out that some people are actually reading this blog. Thanks to anyone who's linked to me!
Today... another "Comedy Monologue."
Guess what this one's about. That's right.. women! Can't live with em, can't live without em. David Kline (as "Cohen") even uses that line, along with every other joke in the book. It was 1921 - let's hope these zingers were a little more novel.
He also uses the "Marraige is an institution - but who wants to live in an institution?" line that is so often credited to Mae West. It's true that she recycled a lot of lines.
I can't find any info on the web about David Kline. Get a more unique name, David! Too late now.
