Recording: The Korn Kobblers
There's not much out there on the great proto-Spike Jones noisemakers...here's one.
Firehouse Five +2 - Tiger Rag
Ward Kimball and the gang blow the tires off the 1910 classic, stick a firecracker in the tail pipe and leave a whoopee cushion on the seat. Seems like this clip gives one an idea of how wild the FF+2 shows must've been.
Peggy Lee - It's A Good Day
Young, beautiful Peggy runs down her hit... Dave Barbour gets his licks in too. Note odd edit, repeating the second bridge. But so good!
Willie The Lion Smith - Fingerbuster
1964 - After a brief tribute to greats gone before him, Willie lets this one rip and shows he's right there in the pantheon.

Fats Waller - I've Got My Fingers Crossed
Prime 1935 Fats - a little better Quality than what's up there now. Fats is the greatest...
Buddy Greco - The Lady Is A Tramp
The underrated, always swinging Greco lays out the old Rogers and Hart standard...righteous!
Les Paul Trio - Dark Eyes
The LP Trio - Les' finest jazz moment. Please note Sammy Wolfe as comedy relief - he was part of the alternate set of Ted Healy's 3 Stooges!
Speedy Haworth - Speedin' West
Haworth does West, straight instead of steel. Fantastic.
Arlie Duff - Y'all Come
This just in - Schoolteacher gets to lead the band; contracts Hillbilly fever. Grady Martin fans the flame. Rare Arlie!
Harry 'The Hipster' Gibson - Keep The Beat
School is in session...Handsome Harry shows the young 'uns how it's done.
Red Foley - Freight Train Boogie
Red kicks off the show with a nice take on the Delmore Bros. classic. Yeah, man - that's Grady Martin on the double neck Bigsby. Righteous!

Onie Wheeler - Go Home
This one's for Deke... ultra rare footage of the one and only Onie Wheeler, revered for his solo Columbia records, but also a longtime member of Roy Acuff's Smokey Mountain Boys. Enjoy it.
Johnny Bond - Kansas City Kitty
a short but sweet take on this old jazz standard. Joan Davis swoons, Johnny croons.
Eddie Condon - The Royal Garden Blues
The Great Condon, already into his 4th decade of music here, rips through the venerable standard with the ample aid of Wild Bill Davison (ct), Peanuts Hucko (cl), Cutty Cutshall (tb), Buzzy Drootin (d), J. Varro (p) and Joe Williams (b).
Glen Campbell - Y'all Come
Glen hot picking on six-string! Glen on banjo! Phil Baugh on fuzz solo! I rest my case...

You won't believe your eyes as the immortal Thumbs Carllile and Curly Chalker tear this old chestnut down. No extra charge for the rambling, nonsensical Red Foley outro!
Rufe Davis - The Old Sow Song
pre-Petticoat Junction Rufe takes a bite out of the old Rudy Vallee hedge-apple.
Roy Lanham - Lover Come Back To Me
The amazing Lanham & his Jazzmaster. Lanham rarely got the props that peers Garland, Barnes, etc got, but this is the real deal.
King Cole Trio - Got A Penny Benny?
Cole, Miller, Moore - was there a better jazz trio? The jury's 'In' on that one, brother...
Ukulele Ike - Minnie My Mountain Moocher
Cliff Edwards goes way out west... but that doesn't stop him from swinging his own special way.
