As an internet oldies disc jockey it is my job to promote the music I love to the world. Youtube is a great marketplace to get this music out to a wider audience, especially when it comes to music that is not easily found on CD, if at all. I however completely support the legal purchasing or legal downloading of these songs if you are able to find them, and have these videos up for entertainment purposes only, not as any form of substitute for legally owning the music. Every label scan in my videos come directly off 45s i own. I do not swipe from other people or ebay auctions. Most of the time the audio will come from the 45 directly as well, unless otherwise noted in the video description.

I'm 26 years old, and have had a lifelong fascination with vinyl, ever since I was a baby and my mother would play old disney records for me on a fisher price record player. I was amused at the sound i heard from the little discs, and kept exploring them further, until it grew into obsession. I love many different styles and genres of music, as evidenced by the variety of tunes I have posted to youtube, including both hits and rareties. I also can be heard sometimes on an internet radio station called Topshelf Oldies. There is a show calender on the website that you can check out to see when The Real Deal with Tom Diehl shows up again.
