Listened to 40s UK for 12 hours did not find the end of the loop
Hi
After the http://www.1940sukradio.co.uk/ link was first posted I put it on as background music while working on stuff on the computer, had it on for 12 hours and never heard a repeat. So the group who are doing this have must have a very large collection or access to a large collection. Doubt they are DJing live so they must have a very long loop. In short a job well done. About the 78 recordings, I collected the recording gear, disk recorders, which use the 78 recordings, that go with my BBC recording HUP. Now that you mention your collection 78s and broadcasts if anybody ever finds a BBC recording of General Eisenhower's New York City Victory Parade June 19, 1945 please record it and get in touch with me. I know my truck covered that parade to record it. If you want the rest of that story see http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/BEASTHISTORY.html . This makes me think I should contact 40sUK group to see if they might know where to find it. Tried the BBC archives in London a couple of times but so far it has not turned up. About general collecting of 78 recording, now that you mention it I will have to check to see if my parents collection of records have survived. Cheers Phil

78 rpm records
I think Bob opened up a really juicy can of worms with this 40s music.
As previously stated, I have some 1000 78 records. I have screened all of them. I have taken out the obvious hits. Then again..... I am asked for special records by the seniors. It is then I find out that they were the biggest hits of their time. I was heading out one nite with an armful of records to play at a senior's res. In my haste, I dropped one record which fractured into a 100 pieces on the cement floor. The song" Put All Your Trouble in Your Old Kit Bag...*** a 1915 recording.....my holy grail..... smashed.... such is life. Two songs that get everyone's attention: **Ive got a lovely bunch of Coconuts** and **The Ballad of Davy Crockett....** I was at Lee's Mills in New Hampshire and I was playing **THERE IS A STAR SPANGLED BANNER FLYING SOMEWHERE** by the beach. An old veteran came walking up with his cane.... stoopped over and listened to the song. He then stepped back and exclaimed...** I HEARD THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS SHIPPED OUT OVERSEAS...** He then started dancing right there and then.... I can't get enough of this music...
