The Norman Brothers - Jaggers Recording Studio Acetate

Very weird this one. I can't find anything about "The Norman Brothers" at all. It's heavy on ukulele and piano. Song 2 on this side is titled "Fused On Tips, Ca't Slip Off" but it's obviously a cover of Monday Monday by the Momas And Popas. Song 4 is called "Number 3 In The Green Book" but it's a version of "Please don't talk about me when I'm gone". I did not record song 1 "I Enjoy Being A Girl" because it skips very badly. The other side starts with "Steam Boat Mickey" but it's about The Robert E Lee.... Song 2 on this side "The Little Bird Who Lost His Way Flying South For The Winter" is a version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and is actually pretty cool. Some of the others don't sound familiar to me but i would assume they are all covers??? I know i've heard number 4 on this side but can't place it.... Maybe Elvis???? Number 5 is a ragtime version of Old Time Religion but called "Box 5, Del Rio Texas". It makes no sense to me.... can someone explain this weirdness to me? The only thing i know for sure about this record is that it was cut with HOT STYLUS! Help?!?

Some more musical archeology with more found personal recordings. This one doesn't bum me out nearly as much the other ones i've posted. I guess for a few reasons. First, its not really personalized to another person. No message here. No sending this back home to Ma or the family with messages, just a young girl singing one of her fave songs and having a good time. and this was 1967, and if little Jody was 10 or so she could very well still be alive and well and living. 3rd the kids in the background hooting and hollering really make this thing for. I don't know how these things were made but that has to be a playground right? or were things sets up at malls and that just kids having a time back there? 4th, man that Brooklyn? accent just kills me! Love it. anyway i have a bunch more of these things laying around in various states of decay and figure i might as well post a few of them before they just rot away over here. Enjoy or not. till the next time, Cheers!

Turk & Jenne - July 10, 1946 Recorded By Gaston Ragno

Another lost item found digging. These things always kinda bum me out when i find them because they were obviously meant for family & not some knucklehead digging for records. They just get discarded and lost forever and i'm sure no one in the family gives a shit. So when i turn them up and they are cheap i buy them. I like listening to them. It's sorta like a time machine or like being an audio peeping Tom. You go back to 1946 and hear a little message from another time and place that was never meant for you to hear. This one from Turk & Jenne. Looks like they were sending it to their Ma. Maybe one of these days someone will google turk & jenne or Gaston Ragno and find it. Probably not... They really didn't have a whole lot to say other than Jenne is gonna be 11 and Turk likes the phrase Hey-Bop-A-Re-Bop, as he says it on both sides of the record. Basically just horsing around. They start speaking a different language. Not sure, but i think it might be Italian? Most people won't find any interest in this and that's fine, but i look at it as audio archeology... either dig in or don't.

If you missed it and or are interested, i did a similar post about a record from a millitary man HERE:
