Salutations Bakeliters!

Well, The Phantom Dancer (2SER 107.3 Sydney Tuesday 12 noon and Saturday 6pm (+11h GMT)) has a few delectable swing radio rarities for you this week. Live stream: http://www.2ser.com/stream

First off, I never knew swing gospel singer and guitarist, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, sang with the Erskine Hawkins' Orchestra. But she did, on-air, in 1943, and you'll hear it this Tuesday and Saturday on the Phantom Dancer

And I've seen so many photos, heard so many commercial recordings by R. A. Rolfe's Goodrich Silvertown Orchestra, and now, here they'll be, live on this week's Phantom Dancer, backing the Boswell Sisters! They follow a brief drama about tyres, which you'll also hear from the same show, but it's the ginger ale subplot in this little dramatisation which I personally find most interesting

This week's Phantom Dancer Video of the Week: oop-boop-a-doop, another Betty Boop!
