This Tuesday’s and Saturday’s Phantom Dancer features Spotlight Bands’ ‘Band of the Week’ for 31 January 1942, Sammy Kaye, over the Blue Network. And his best selling record that got him the ‘Band of the Week’ gig? A tune called ‘Remember Pearl Harbour’. Turns out NBC interrupted a Sammy Kaye program to break the news of Pearl Harbour being bombed, 7 December 1941. Hence the message song. And like all message songs, well, ahem, you be the judge

That’s right, photos. Instead of a Video of the Week, I’m posting some exciting archeological photos I took just a few hours ago.

There was a fire near me recently. A dry cleaners burnt to the ground. The building has been demolished. And behind a demolished doubled wall a well-preserved painted advertisement has been revealed

I guessed by the artwork and fonts that the ad was from 1911. A quick look at the Sands Directory tells me I’m about right
