I picked this up years ago solely for the Chick Bullock track, but was pleasantly surprised with the rest of this third volume of the first crooners. I would add a better image of the cover but I don't have a scanner and this is all I could find. Enjoy. +

Thanks!
Thanks! It's wonderful! Is there any chance of you posting the remaining volumes?
Merry Christmas!
You're welcome! I have volume two only and will post that as soon as I can get to it.

Chester,
I am loving the music I got from you today! Not only does it really swing, but it is amazing how pleasant music was before rock. I hate to ask for more, but looking through the various artists section, I'm seeing a lot of collections that look fantastic, especially the ASV albums - there are a lot of deep catalog classics and standards on them. Also, I've never really heard the Mills Brothers, but I read that they were a major influence on Dean Martin. I'd love to give those albums a listen!
BTW, wasn't Chester Proudfoot a named mentioned on "Last of the Summer Wine"? I believe a Proudfoot dated Norah Batty(sp?)
Nix the Mills Bros - just realized that the are in the various category - reading through them all and trying to remember a bunch of things!
Oldsouth, Glad to hear you like the music. That's what this blog is for. I'm happy to re-up anything if you can post a comment to each individual post. This makes it much easier for me to keep organized.
I don't know about Last of the Summer Wine (great show!), but I borrowed the name from the 1950s radio show Gunsmoke. Chester Proudfoot is the name of Matt Dillon's deputy.
Oh yeah - I knew the name was familiar. BYW, I think the one on Last of the Summer Wine was Cyril Proudfoot. I love that show - its like the British Andy Griffith Show... very peaceful and funny. I'm going to take a break on downloading to listen to more of what I've gotten this week - Harlan has been doing western week, so I've got a lot to listen to.
Thanks
Let me ask you another question about essential listening for my potential new role in a big band: Is there a collection that you can recommend (either one you have or one I can find on my own) that would include the the American Songbook/vocal jazz standards that I should listen to? I would think this would include songs from the 30s and 40s, like Blue Skies, Sentimental Journey, These Foolish Things, Stardust, Georgia, The Way You Look Tonight, All of Me, I got the World on a Sting, Tea for Two, Can't Take That Away From Me, etc.... probably about 100 songs. Ideally, I'm looking for a collection that would feature THE classic version of each song by the singer and band that made it famous. I can't spend the kind of money it would take to buy each album individually right now, so some sort of set or collection would be ideal.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
I don't know of a particular collection, but you might like the Hits of ... series, A Time To Remember (also yearly), or The Songs Of ... I have several Hits Of... , and a couple Songs Of... (songwriters on the site. For the latter, I have Ray Henderson that I can recall. If you click on the Various Artists labels in the left-hand column you'll find all these. If I don't have them, you should be able to find more elsewhere.
