LizzieM 8,076 Report post Posted June 28 Hey, Ayup Ben, pleased to see you back and sorry you’ve had health issues but hope you settle into your new home quickly. Did you get out before the rent man called? Just hope that a few of the old stalwart Nottstalgians poke their heads around the door and see that all is calm again. 5 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Boston (USA) Public Library have put online some 48000 recordings , many of them 78s . I selected "Ellington" and these came up but earlier had a listen to some old Sonny Boy Williamson tracks . https://archive.org/details/78rpm_bostonpubliclibrary?and[]=ellington&sin= Terrific stuff! If you listen to Creole Love Call, you hear the vocal which was done by the late Adelaide Hall, who came to England in the 1930s and remained here. I was priveleged to meet her in of all places Southport, were she was on the same bill as my late Father in Law in an 'Olde Tyme Music Hall' show. Also some great early tracks such as Immigration Blues, The Creeper', etc., which I still have on a Decca compilation AH23 'The Duke in Harlem' from around 1962. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 4,712 Report post Posted June 29 Jackie De Shannon, one of my all time favourite songwriters.. but this time singing her version of Bacharach and David's 'What The World Needs Now is Love'. Seems timely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 12,631 Report post Posted June 29 Bulwell definitely stirs the emotions in folk,,i recently defended Bulwell on "nottm,way back when" and got 18 likes,,,i think its terrific that its still known as Bulwell Town,,within the city,,the only other i can think of is Basford Town,,anyone think of any others?
