phantom dancer Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hello Phantom Dancers, This Tuesday I'll be singing with my 1920s and 1930s jazz swing band, Greg Poppleton and the Bakelite Broadcasters, ( http://www.bakelitejazz.com ) at a Tea Dance. So I can't be in the studio to bring you The Phantom Dancer this week from 12 noon - 2pm. Instead, please enjoy a special ENCORE PRESENTATION! That's commercial TV talk for REPEAT! You can hear it online, Tues 18 March, 12 noon - 2pm (+11GMT) at http://www.2ser.com and over 107.3 2SER Sydney. But I do have a whole, new Phantom Dancer Video of the Week for you. Mildred Bailey sings 'Rock It For Me' from 1938 (with Red Norvo on vibes) - allegedly the first song to use the word 'Rock 'n' Roll' as a kind of music. Baby, baby, baby, whoa-oa-yeah!

phantom dancer Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Your April Fools Day Phantom Dancer makes no reference to April Fools Day at all. Because as I was told by my friends in primary school, April Fools doesn't work after 12 noon. And The Phantom Dancer goes to air at 12 noon, 107.3 2SER, Tuesday 1 April. Online http://www.2ser.com Check out the April Fools' Day play list and your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week: Ben Pollack and his Park Central Orchestra, on the Greg Poppleton Radio Lounge Blog http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/ben-pollack-park-central-orchestra-short-1929-phantom-dancer-tues-1-april/ The Ben Pollack clip features this amazing combination, and I quote form YouTube,"In the band are Jimmy McPartland, Ray Bauduc, "Icky" Morgan, 19 year old Benny Goodman, brother Harry Goodman and Jack Teagarden who not only plays trombone but also sings in his own inimitable way and even plays vibraphone. The Ben Pollack Orchestra plays three tunes "California Echoes", "My Kind Of Love" and "Song Of The Island"." Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom dancer Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi-de-ho Phantom Dancers, Some housekeeping on this week's Phantom Dancer. A few songs missed out on earlier shows by Annette Hanshaw, Freddy Rich, Ted Fio Rito and Phillippe Brun will be played this week. Some live TV with Roy Eldridge and live airchecks by the great swing trumpeters Bunny Berrigan and Louis Armstrong. And as your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, a real winner for those of you like me who are into streetscapes. Sometime in 1948, someone took a drive around Los Angeles and filmed the streetscape with 35mm film. The picture quality is brilliant. And some of the blocks of flats look like they could be in Sydney's eastern suburbs. The smog is appalling! Enjoy.

phantom dancer Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Gosh, Phantom Dancers, will there be enough radio show time to fit in Shorty Rogers Giants from a 1950s Tonight Show?
