Volume 132: A 78 RPM Railroad Spike
Here’s an interesting combination from my dad’s shellac disks from RCA Victor Records. He had several albums made FOR children and several that seem like they were made BY children. Four sides you’ll hear is a familiar story of encouragement, determination and pride. The other four sides are pure musical comedy by the master of the art.
So get ready to put these eight sides together in one show with Volume 132: A 78 RPM Railroad Spike.
