This is my blog where I write about music, and myself. Vaudeville, burlesque, blues, jazz, novelties, and whatever else I feel like posting. Mostly from my own LPs and 78s. Comments and feedback always appreciated. Please do not link directly to mp3s. It's rude.

I was just exploring the wonderful world of youtube jazz enthusiasts. There's some live videos, home-made photo montages, and stills with music.
The song "Cryin' For The Carolines" goes along with my theme of the sadness of people who've left the country for the big city. The Ruth Etting version is good and sad.

Other versions of the song can be found on Archeophone Records' awesome "Hit Of The Week" volume 1, and here are some youtube videos:

Neat, huh?
