Every Tuesday, Boneapart and Yulia spin three songs from 78rpm records more than 100 years old: ragtime, early jazz, blues, vaudeville, Tin Pan Alley, dance bands and forgotten hits from the 1900s to the 1920s.
Each episode follows a theme of the week, and every track is an acoustically recorded, public-domain gem played on period-appropriate phonographs and gramophones from a private collection of 78 rpm records. Along with the music come the stories: who made these recordings, what the world sounded like when they were new, and why these voices deserve to be remembered.
Whether you’re a record collector, a lover of old-time music and the Jazz Age, or just curious what people were dancing to a century ago, pull up a chair. Three tunes, every Tuesday, played the way they were first heard.
A Blind Skeleton production.
