On April 22, 2010, Jonathan Ward of the wonderful Excavated Shellac mp3 blog was my guest in the studio. Jonathan shared a wonderful selection of music from his collection of 78s from around the world, none of which had appeared on the blog or on his new compilation, Excavated Shellac: Strings, which has just been released on the Parlortone label. The fidelity of the recording is a little wobbly, but the music is glorious. Go to Spinitron.com for the full playlist. Enjoy! Jonathan Ward of Excavated Shellac on Rare Frequency 04/22/10
