This, That And the Other

Sagebrush

Would you like to hop aboard a time machine and venture into the distant future? Perhaps instead, you might want to put the machine in reverse and travel back into the past. In this case, we'll find ourselves reversing the clock and our journey will take us back to 1895. This was the year Dan Quinn recorded "Streets of Cairo". This recording was made on a phonograph wax cylinder. We'll slowly head back to the present while spending a fair amount of time during the transition period from wax cylinders to phonograph records between roughly 1896 and 1923. The songs will revolve around early jugband, blues, fiddle, piano, banjo, country, hillbilly, folk and a dose or two of yodeling. Continuing forward to 1928, we'll spend time in the rural countryside while being exposed to more country, blues, folk and jugband music with smatterings of washboards, gazoos and ukeleles appearing on the scene. From there, the time machine will transport us back to the current date - in this case, September 6th, 2023...
