Before the advent of radio and television, the phonograph brought popular entertainment into the homes of families across the country. This 21 track CD presents a virtual phonograph variety show, with dance numbers, vaudeville sketches, popular vocalists, military bands, and novelty selections -- all taken from excellent copies of the original 78 rpm recordings, carefully transferred and restored for best sound quality. It's a treasure trove of rare and historic recordings, most never before released on CD. Features Garber-Davis Orch., Irving Kaufman, Six Brown Bros., Miss McKee, California Ramblers, Sterling Trio, Joe Weber & Lew Fields, Will Rogers and others.
