Re-Posting Some Old Stuff

The entertainment industry was just learning media distribution a hundred or so years ago.  Music publishing and home performance was the main way people heard songs.  Occasionally there was a traveling show that passed through town.  Of course, if you lived in a big city, you could go see a vaudeville show or a revue whenever your pocketbook allowed.

This here's a 1956 album of material performed by two of the folks what performed it in the early 1920s or so.

01 - Opening: That's Entertainment     

02 - I Love A Piano

03 - Soft Shoe Song

04 - Lady, Play Your Mandolin

05 - Lullaby Of Broadway

06 - Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye

07 - That Teasin' Rag

08 - Song And Dance Man   

09 - June

10 - There's No Business Like Show Business

Two-a-Day at the Palace
