The first Phantom Dancer for 2009. If I make it to the studio (I have a voiceover at a commercial radio station to do just before the show) then you'll be hearing live radio broadcasts by Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Dave Brubeck and the Carnation Contented Hour orchestra & Chorus (Yum!). Otherwise, it'll be a classic Phantom Dancer from April next year. We'll all know at the last minute!

On this Tuesday's and Sunday's show you'll hear lots of live swing, jazz, dance, oddities, news reports and ads from the 30s, 40s & 50s -and a personal breakthrough in musical detective work - I'm now sure that Freddy Monroe on the famous 1939 WJSV radio transciption is really a pseudonym for Frankie Masters. Maybe everyone else knew before me. But check out todays recording of Scatterbrain by Frankie Masters to hear the similarities between the 'two' bands & hear if I'm right
