OK, I screwed up again and didn't get my Forgotten Music post up on Thursday like I should have. My apologies to host Scott Parker and the rest of the gang.
Here's an amazing little 78 I came across in an antique mall in Las Vegas. The amazing thing is that it was ever recorded and issued. There's a photo of the TV show's Gail Davis on the back, but she is not in evidence on this record. I have a couple of recordings by Gail, including the show's theme song, and she has a distinctive voice. Still, I've heard worse music, and the songs have a certain goofy charm. A friend of mine once played them during traffic reports on his radio show, to the undoubted amusement (and befuddlement) of his audience.

"I Like to Ride My Bike" by Annie Oakley

Dang, that's a fine music collection (even without the Annie Oakley). I'll try to be on time next month. Really.
That is certainly different.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd forgotten Annie's safety songs. I'll try to keep it together.
ReplyDeleteYour dad will be proud of you, Charles.
ReplyDeleteVery nice summary of July's FORGOTTEN MUSIC, Evan! I'm sure Art Scott has a copy of ANNIE OAKLEY'S TRAFFIC SAFETY SONGS somewhere in his vast vinyl collection.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, George. "The Traffic Light Song" does have a brief near-classical passage that might be near-pleasing to Mr. Scott's fine sensibilities.
