The previous owners of our house on Palmer Avenue left behind an old wind-up phonograph. Since Dad had 150 or so shellac 78s in his record collection, they seemed a perfect match. So we playied jazz and swing on that old box. Although Dad's tastes ran to Stan Kenton and Benny Goodman, the set contained a good cross-section of all popular music from his youth. Duke Ellington. Stan Getz. Bunny Berrigan's heavenly long rendition of "I Can't Get Started" ( iTunes ). Patti Page. Lionel Hampton. Glenn Miller. Tommy Dorsey. Count Basie. You get the idea. =================== Since I wasn't planning to take a photograph tonight, I resorted to the Treo to take this one. it's of Rachael Davis , accompanied by Steppin' In It , performing Shout Sister Shout! at the Creole Gallery in Lansing's Old Town . They've clearly digested a similar music collection. Rachael's absolutely wonderful. And she told us a story about a CD player which jibes nicely with my phonograph story. They released their album , called Shout Sister Shout, today. Dad would have loved it, and them. Thanks, Andy . ======================== The concert closed with It's a Sin to Tell a Lie, which these folks apparently learned from The Lost World String Band , an old favorite of mine. I, however, learned the patter verse from a Page Cavanaugh Trio recording. It was part of Dad's performing repertoire, too.
