Today’s episode features some of my favorite records. Records that make me smile. Not necessarily records that make me laugh or chuckle, although those are here, but also records that simply make me smile, and shake my head. Make me smile in a sense of just how unusual or cool these records are. More like a shake my head in wonderment type of a smile.

Today's episode features some great and wacky records from my special guest host, Matt Sayles. Matt has been a guest on the Old Dingy Jukebox before, once as a solo host (episode #5) as well as with his wife, co-host, historian Dr. Cheryl Jimenez-Frei (episode #14). Matt brings a different and appreciated perspective to the show. I love having him as a guest and enjoying his sensibilities not only as a fellow record collector/enthusiast, but also as a musician good buddy. Also, check out Matt's record label Philville Records and social media handles on Instagram and Facebook. He's got a pretty cool YouTube page as well. I think you're going to enjoy this show.

Episode #17- Pre-War Blues, Hokum and Jazz 78 rpm Records: "Jelly Roll, Pig Meat & Reefer Five Foot Long"
Today’s show features some of my favorite 78s from my collection. I thought it would be fun to feature hokum blues and jazz records from the pre-war era. A subcategory of the blues, hokum was popular in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Hokum songs were often uptempo, funny, and on the raw to often raunchy side. The origins of this style of blues can be traced back to the vaudeville and minstrel show era of the late 19th Century, where songs of this type were performed with a touch of innuendo and comedy. This genre became wildly popular with adult audiences during the 20s and 30s. In the early days, common performers surfaced in jug bands that performed in the beer joints and brothels found up and down Beale Street, in Memphis, Tennessee.
Jug bands like the Memphis Jug Band and Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers played good-time, upbeat music on assorted instruments like washboards, fiddles, triangles, harmonicas, guitars and banjos, all anchored by bass notes of an empty jug. Later on, duets featuring the piano and guitar would become popular as well. I’ve always found these types of records entertaining and I thought it would make for a good show to combine these types of hokum records along with some early pre-war jazz records and a few piano stomps thrown in for good measure.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the show. “Get Your Mind Out The Gutter”: Pre-War Hokum Blues and Jazz 78s.
Today’s episode features some of my favorite records centered around truck driving, hot roddin’, infidelity and surfing. The show's music selection comes from my 78s, 45s and….even a few LPs!
I figured these topics would make for an entertaining show. Also, stepping outside the box a little for this show with some instrumental electric guitar groups. That’s where the surfing and hot roddin’ comes in. I love those types of records and I figured I’d throw some of those into the mix for this show. Why not?

Today's episode features some of my favorite 78s from my collection covering a variety of styles.
