New World Records

A show came along soon after Two Little Girls in Blue called Shuffle Along, and it's an, an important show in the 1920s for several reasons.

But let me read Robert Kimball's notes to the Shuffle Along album, uh, on New World Records.

Uh, and he states it so much more eloquently than I could: Shuffle Along was a miracle.

In the spring of 1921, hardly anyone believed that a musical written, performed, produced, and directed by American Blacks could be presented on Broadway.

We heard a tune called The Flying Wedge, written by Kate Dolby in 1916, one of the few female composers of the era.

The Flying Wedge is a tune all about football, and it's from All the Rage, their CD released on New World Records.

We'll open the program with Bill Monroe and his rendition of Dusty Miller from the Bear Family set 1959 to 1969.

The Mighty Mandolin on this week's edition of the Sing Out Radio Magazine.

Our theme music this week comes from All the Rage, mandolin ensemble music from 1897 to 1924 by the Nashville Mandolin Ensemble.

And we heard Silver Ripples, a song written by Warren Dean, who was a resident of York, Pennsylvania.

All the Rage is on New World Records.

Before that, we heard from the recording Chiaroscuro from Mike Marshall and Daryl Anger.
