If there is one thing that George M. Cohan knew how to do is shout sing.
  7:24pm P-90:

One of the very rare occasions that Led Zep III has been mentioned on this program
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:27pm chresti:

More "r" rolling, back in those days
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28pm tw2sheds:

One thinks of Cohan as being painfully old-fashioned but that had a very modern feel compared to most other teens records.
  7:28pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha:

Yes hearing classics is splendid
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:31pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Does this presage the return of the Old Codger??
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:52pm Cmurtha:

I thought you were back on the schedule rather than just a podcast, I was disappointed when I went and confirmed my thoughts you were not.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:53pm dale:

dave - i'm sure hauling the equipment and heavy shellac around got old when he did it weekly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:54pm Aitch:

Show a pleasant change. Did you do a show on EVR in years past?

"Fifty Million Frenchmen" the show was a reference to the song - the song didn't actually appear in the show. Sophie Tucker did a pretty famous version of it.
