Greetings, Codger cranks (that's archaic slang for "fans"). Welcome to tonight's shellac-fest. Courtney will be featuring platters by Victoria Spivey, Joe Venuti, Vaughn De Leath, Fletcher Henderson, and others. Also on tap: a soundtrack from a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring a certain famous Jewish actress, and Gus Bodenheim takes us on a tour of his literary dominion.

Says Wiki: "Vaughn De Leath. Vaughn De Leath (September 26, 1894 - May 28, 1943) was an American female singer who gained popularity in the 1920s, earning the sobriquets "The Original Radio Girl" and the "First Lady of Radio." Although very popular in the 1920s, De Leath is obscure in modern times."
