Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from July 17, 2015 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Hi chromaphone. Good to see you.

Hawaiian players certainly influenced steel playing but I think the steel came to the fore because it cut through the volume of amplified music better than fiddles did. It's too bad Lane's not here to school us today.

No doubt -- though I was trying (unsuccessfully?) to allude to the Casbah and the "chanting thing" that Doug had going on.

Was just looking something up a while ago during this show on an old Hinky Dinky playlist, and a Martha Tilton discussion happened to be on there. What a cohinkydink.

Billy Murray seems to show up on the antique phonograph program more than any other artist, from what I can tell.
