Podcast Episode 169: Some Old-Timey Music

November 29, 2021

I feel like it has been a while since I played any old-timey songs for you, so here you go. In this episode I have some New Orleans jazz and some ragtime, some of which is older and some of which isn't. I hope that you enjoy all of it. The songs are "Roses of Picardy" by George Girard And His New Orleans Five, "Shake It and Break It" by Sidney Bechet and his New Orleans Feetwarmers, "The Minnesota Rag" by Tim Cheesebrow, "Policy King" by Heftone Banjo Orchestra, and "Cannon Ball Rag" by Marvin Ash.
