Christmas on Be Bop Wino
Looking north from Queen's Park, Glasgow, December 2010
Once again the annual state of festive disorganization on the part of your humble blog host has brought actual posting to a grinding halt. So there now appears the usual Christmas stream-of -consciousness panic post.
Winter sun, Queen's Park, Glasgow, December 2010
Be Bop Wino and friend
Glasgow, the home city of Be Bop Wino, currently resembles a frozen Arctic wasteland. The snow arrived a few weeks ago and temperatures have sunk to around minus ten which makes for the coldest December I can remember. I've put up a few pictures taken in the South Side's Queen's Park when the snow first arrived. It looks very Christmassy indeed.
At this time I like to repost Joan's great collection of Christmas doo wop. If you haven't already got it then here is the link:
From way out west in Oregon country to you in beautiful Glasgow, the very merriest of holiday greetings, with a special thanks for your kindness and generosity. Have a wonderful new year, too.
Christmas Night I always give thanks for family, great friends and the many blessings. The music on your blog surely has enhanced my library. Thanks Boogie Woody & Joan. Mikelj3

Dance On
Dedicated to REAL R&B, Rock'n'Roll, Blues and Jazz
This is a site dedicated to rockin' 1940s and 1950s music, ripped from vinyl. Some cuts are a bit on the rough side. If you're looking for audio perfection you're on the wrong site baby! If you like what you hear on this site please buy this kind of music. There are many reasonably priced reissues available from web dealers or perhaps from your local record shop, if it still exists. These reissues will be in far better sound quality than the vinyl rips on this site and they will usually have more up to date liner notes and info, so go out and splash a little cash now and again. Help keep those reissue labels going in these difficult times.
No in-print CDs will be posted here. In fact no CDs will be posted here. I will occasionally list recommended purchases to help you hear more from artists featured on the blog.
The great rescue mission to restore streaming audio to El Enmascarado's 78 rpm rips continues. Remember - both sides of these big ten inchers are being re-uploaded to the posts. Today's updates:
Non functioning Divshare embedded players now being replaced with Box links to mp3 players. There's a lot of posts to work through thanks to the collapse of Divshare. Be patient groovers and movers!
