    The 1st of July. You know what that means - only just under 6 months to Christmas. My, how time flies. It's like The Phantom Dancer. 2 hours seem to go by in, well, hopefully not 3. Lot's of excellent 1920s - 50s airchecks for you this week. The earliest is by the Ray Miller Orchestra, 25 Jan 1929. John J Anthony will be on-hand to dispense marital advice using the latest psychological methods. And there's great swing for you with song titles like 'The Morning After' and 'Let This Be A Warning To You.' So, let this be a warning for you, enjoy And for your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week here is a Candid Camera episode from 1949, when they still also called it Candid Microphone, which was the name of the original radio series from which the famous TV show sprang. Happy listening and televiewing at Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge Blog http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/candid-camera-1949-phantom-dancer-show-tues-1-july/

    I couldn't be in the studio last Tuesday, June 10. So I'm looking forward to playing lots of swing and jazz from live 1920s - 1960s radio and TV for you this Tuesday 17 June. Time to warm up the set for this week's Phantom Dancer play list and Video of the Week. On this week's Phantom Dancer hear Dick Freeman's Ensemble from Sydney in 1936, Al Jolson sings about Lifebuoy and Rinso the year after, and Stan Kenton blasts through your loudspeaker from WSOC Charlotte N.C. See the full play list below. And as your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, some early TV, or at least an early depiction of TV. The Mills Brothers feature in a Fleischer Screen Songs short from 1932, singing Hold That Tiger and I Ain't Got Nobody. Sing along. Just follow the bouncing ball at Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge Blog (for the video and today's play list) http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/the-mills-brothers-on-tv-1932-phantom-dancer-play-list-10-june-2014/

    Voh-de-oh-doh Phantom Dancers, On this Tuesday's Phantom Dancer, online and on the air, Stan Kenton narrates his musical 'life in a band' called Prologue on an NBC Concert In Miniature.

    Hi-de-ho Phantom Dancers, Some housekeeping on this week's Phantom Dancer. A few songs missed out on earlier shows by Annette Hanshaw, Freddy Rich, Ted Fio Rito and Phillippe Brun will be played this week. Some live TV with Roy Eldridge and live airchecks by the great swing trumpeters Bunny Berrigan and Louis Armstrong. And as your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, a real winner for those of you like me who are into streetscapes. Sometime in 1948, someone took a drive around Los Angeles and filmed the streetscape with 35mm film. The picture quality is brilliant. And some of the blocks of flats look like they could be in Sydney's eastern suburbs. The smog is appalling! Enjoy. See this week's play list and video at Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge Blog http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2014/05/07/1940s-streetscapes-phantom-dancer-20-may-2014/ Hear the latest Phantom Dancer Shows online at http://2ser.com.

    What a show this week. By request, a replay of the Benny Goodman Orchestra's version of The Hucklebuck from Surf Beach, Virginia. Les Paul and George Barnes play their electric guitars. Fairchild and Carroll tinkle their dual pianos. This week's Video of the Week, 'This Is The BBC' released in 1960. A day in the life of BBC radio and TV. The big news story, 'The Russians have launched another Moon rocket.' For morning music, 'Mrs Ada Spillington of Suffolk would like some jolly music.' Don't we all. Midday music features the brilliant BBC Northern Dance Orchestra.

    Your April Fools Day Phantom Dancer makes no reference to April Fools Day at all. Because as I was told by my friends in primary school, April Fools doesn't work after 12 noon. And The Phantom Dancer goes to air at 12 noon, 107.3 2SER, Tuesday 1 April. Online http://www.2ser.com Check out the April Fools' Day play list and your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week: Ben Pollack and his Park Central Orchestra, on the Greg Poppleton Radio Lounge Blog http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/ben-pollack-park-central-orchestra-short-1929-phantom-dancer-tues-1-april/ The Ben Pollack clip features this amazing combination, and I quote form YouTube, "In the band are Jimmy McPartland, Ray Bauduc, "Icky" Morgan, 19 year old Benny Goodman, brother Harry Goodman and Jack Teagarden who not only plays trombone but also sings in his own inimitable way and even plays vibraphone. The Ben Pollack Orchestra plays three tunes "California Echoes", "My Kind Of Love" and "Song Of The Island"." Enjoy
