I really like your blog too. After listening to a lot of goofy music, I always do get to the more serious stuff. Sadly not a lot of Jazz fans seem to be into collecting records nowadays. Or not as many much as they used to or compared to the rock´n´roll fans. Or they just don´t like to blog about it. Anyway we should stick together. Support each other´s weird collecting habits here in blogland, the haven of weirdness….

Comment on TED MORRIS UND SEIN ORCHESTER, Der verliebte Gockel, 1960 by Kurt L - KL in NYC
Hi.
This music isn’t “swing” music. It came after “Sweet” music (Guy Lombardo, Wayne King, and that music in The Little Rascals movies of the 1930s).
Most people in the US would immediately associate this style with Lawrence Welk, who was a famous American bandleader who grew up in a US German community and didn’t learn English until he was in his teens (so he always had a German accent).
He called the style “Champagne” music, and he has tons of LPs on Dot Records. (His earlier recordings on Coral, a division of US Decca, might not be as clearly defined as “Champagne” music because that recording contract was more restrictive.)
He had a long-running national TV show in which his orchestra featured soloists on accordion and honky-tonk piano.
Throughout the early1950s to late-1960s, his music was very popular with senior citizens.
You might want to look him up, if you haven’t already.

Comment on TONI SULZBÖCK, Tonis Zitherspielereien by Kurt L - KL in NYC
Are you sure about 1956? I thought that Philips started their “Minigroove” records in 1958-1959. (I’m not an expert on that — just asking)

It might not be real swing music but I still like these songs… I never said I had good taste in music…
Guy Lombardo and Lawrence Welk never really got to be popular in Europe, but I´ve seen their records in the US many times. Here in Germany Heino is ruling over the 50 cents bins…

Comment on DAN MARSHALL, Born Loser (That´s Me) by iamdanmarshall
Andreas, thanks so much for posting this! Again, it was a real joy to find that my dad’s music made it halfway around the world, along with the kind words you had for his songs. I hope that people are writing blog posts about randomly stumbling upon my music 40+ years from now! I also appreciate you sending me the mp3s… a real blast from the past.

Comment on “HANDSOME” JIM BALCOM, Corrido Rock, 1958 by Jennifer L. Ibarra
Funny I didn’t even think I would find anything on Jim Balcom or the song “Corrido Rock” except for another site directing me to Art Laboe’s “Memories of El Monte”. As a child I actually knew Jim Balcom. He was very good friends with my (my mother’s eldest brother) Bill Burrola. Bill Burrola was in fact the saxophone player. The correct name of the band was “The Handsome Jim Balcom and The Shades of Rythm”.

Thank you very much for sharing your information and memories.
Sadly currently there is not much to be found about Jim Balcom, no biographical information, no photo and no discography.
Corrido Rock is in fact available on the CD “Art Laboe’s Memories Of El Monte: The Roots Of L.A.’s Rock And Roll”

Hallo Carsten,
es scheint tatsächlich keine digitalen Wiederveröffentlichungen der Münchner Songgruppe zu geben. Ich hab noch ihre “Dürer” Single von 1971 mit der Rückseite “Lied vom Bayernland”. Das Lied hat einen super Refrain: “Das hat zum Schaden Bayerns die CDU vollbracht. Strauss und seine Bazis und die Neonazis, die sind Bayerns größte Plag.”…
Super Sammlung übrigens, am Besten gefällt mir:
