You’ll be pleased to know that these appear to be an unavailable in any encoded format.

This encoding was done a while ago, but we’ve held onto it until we were ready to make it available to you, just like the museum held onto all these discs.

All of the work here was done by volunteers, who can  continue giving these to you only if we can raise enough money to keep our museum building.

We can only do this with your help, so please make a donation.

Starring Connee Boswell, with Harry Sosnick and the Savings Bond Orchestra
First Song Concha de Amor (orchestra)

Vocalist Connee Boswell

Boswell’s first song is “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter.”  The announcer mentions that her second song is from her “new album.”  Does anyone know if the guest vocals here are all from outside recordings, or if some were done especially for these broadcasts?  (The “Savings Bond Orchestra” recordings seem to be new, but I’m not sure.)
