thanks so much for your answer. Maybe someone else can help. ps tdub1941 I have a large collection of 1920-1940 sheet music if you are looking for something

[tdub1941]

@jboyer5851

Do you have a list of the song titles, composers & year published?

That is the only way I (or anyone else) might know if there is something of interest.

Best,

ANY tune with O sumthin is usually a fine tune...Janet rings my bell with this one!

[tdub1941]

Yep, a mighty fine one indeed.

"Baby O' Mine" from 1926.

Hello, Central? I remember my grandmother saying "If you don't know the number, why don't you call Central?"-- and that was around 1980!

[tdub1941]

Thanks again for the title and info!

I love the historically accurate touch of the way Janet mimes holding the earpiece. But of course, this is Janet we're talking about.

I had a thought last night: It would be a fun experiment to take a group of high-school kids and watch them try to figure out how to use a dial telephone -- much less something from pre-dial phones!

[tdub1941]

Ron,

Yep, that Janet girl is something else! And, I'll bet the teenie boppers would have some real confusion trying to figure out those old wind up telephones. 1 long & 2 shorts, etc..

You can still get a version of the "Busy Box"(?) for babies, with the phone dial-- I don't know what use that will be for them!

There's an antique/ restoration/ phone company called "Hello Central" in San Luis Obispo, but I don't think they have a website (I picked up their card at an antique store in Orange CA.)

I saw Janet using a cell phone one time (to locate a Parlor Boy who was running late) and I averted my eyes... it didn't seem right!

[tdub1941]

Janet using a cell phone? HORRERS!

I wish you hadn't told me about it. It has such a destructive effect on my image of her.

Oh well, maybe I'll adjust.

And then there was the time I stopped in the lobby to tell Janet goodbye after a show, and the fellow ahead of me insisted on giving her a "High 5"...

[tdub1941]

High Five?

Those are for boys with boys.

Janet is most definitely a girl.

Hugs and/or kisses are much more appropriate!

Tom

[jkfan2005]

"Boys with boys"...?

Careful, you're liable to get a women's sports team mad at you (and the next thing you know, you've lost your radio show!)

[wininboy]

Thanks for sharing all that great music, Tom. You're the best!

[tdub1941]

Thank you sir! It is all such wonderful fun. I'm surprised the government hasn't made it illegal!

I recently saw a newspaper clipping from 1912 in a book about the history of the Beach Boardwalk in my home town of Santa Cruz, California. The headline: "BAND LEADER ARRESTED FOR RAGGING". I wonder if the city ever officially repealed its "anti-ragging ordinance" or if it technically still is illegal!

[tdub1941]

I hope it is still illegal!

It's more fun when it's outside the law!

Just think of all the fun and creativity that took place during prohibition!
