   78Man's Blurbs
About me:
I love all sorts of music but have a large collection of old 78s spanning 1908 to the late '50's. A while back i posted a few of these on You tube, having filmed them playing on an old 1950s Dansette record player. They were intended just to show my friends certain records from the collection, but the response generally from You Tube viewers was amazing, so i've been putting a few up every week, and now have over 800 videos up. You can go and see them at My You Tube page
Who I'd like to meet:

Bluebottle

Or a little red monkey

Or Captain Ginjah

Or Two buck Tim from Timbucktoo

Or Esau

Or Missus Moore

Here's a video that was captured of me offering my bottleneck slide
interpretation of an old blues song, Goin' T' Brownsville, on open mic
night at Old Strokers in Everett, WA. It starts out with me briefly
introducing my homemade "Nobro" resophonic guitar and explaining some
of the various recycled garage sale junk that I used in it's
construction. Enjoy!

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Please check out our new comedic “vampire bankers” music video. The guy who directed this also directed Madonna’s first music vid. We think it’s pretty funny.
It’s available as a free mp3 download on http://www.ukejackson.com

Thanks for being our friend!
