Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl

Frank Vaccariello

Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with skips, scratches, and pops. Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique,

2023/07/23

After this episode we will be two thirds of the way through a great Jack Benny hosted box set from my dad’s collection. The six records of the set had Benny reminiscing about the era when most families were crowded around their radios instead of their television sets for their news and entertainment. This record had the same subjects on both sides as episode 92 of this show. So get ready for a severe contrast as we hear radio broadcasts about our country at war and the radio comedians who kept us

2023/07/16

We break out another of my dad's favorite musicians, but he's not a trumpet player. He does however play the style of music that is a big portion of my dad's collection...Dixieland.

Volume 132: A 78 RPM Railroad Spike

Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl ·

2023/07/09

Here’s an interesting combination from my dad’s shellac disks from RCA Victor Records. He had several albums made FOR children and several that seem like they were made BY children. Four sides you’ll hear is a familiar story of encouragement, determination and pride. The other four sides are pure musical comedy by the master of the art. So get ready to put these eight sides together in one show with Volume 132: A 78 RPM Railroad Spike. Credits and copyrights Paul Wing / Henri René / Norman Leyden –

Volume 128: Let There Be Drums

Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl ·

2023/06/11

Even though both my dad and I played trumpet in our respective high school bands, we had way more percussionists in the family. My brother Mike was a drummer as were all three of his sons. My sister Michelle’s son minors in percussion at Baldwin Wallace University and we’ve gone to see his ensemble perform. Which just all means, we all grew up in loud households. So get ready to hear music led by the instrument even I learned how to play in Volume 128: Let There Be Drums. Promised

Volume 127: Italian Favorites

Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl ·

2023/06/04

This June 6th would have been my parents’ 64th wedding anniversary. I’ve often said my family had its own D-day. And as I’ve mentioned before on this show, even though none of us spoke a lick of Italian, that didn’t mean we didn’t listen to the music from that country. So get ready to hear several short musical pieces that we don’t have to worry about singing since they’re all instrumentals in Volume 127: Italian Favorites. Promised link:

2023/05/28

Here’s a trumpeter we heard before on this show back in the first season. He’s a lesser known musician from that era, mostly because of some of the big names he played around. But he still had what’s considered a very successful career. So get ready to hear music listed as recorded at a New York City restaurant and nightclub, yet we hear no applause in Volume 126: Live Jonah.

2023/05/21

We actually heard this band leader’s orchestra in the last episode. I guess I wasn’t paying attention when I scheduled them. But this time, there is no famous lead singer fronting these musicians. It’s all instrumental, and it’s from a popular movie musical. So get ready for Cole Porter broadway music rearranged for the big screen then rearranged for this album in Volume 125: Riddle Can Can.

We once again have a musician claiming he's top trumpet. Or at least his recording label is saying that. I can see why my dad liked this album.

Welcome to a 78 RPM Sunday. Yes, I know 78 RPM records were made from shellac, not vinyl.

So get ready to crank that handle up to get the disk spinning in Volume 117: 8 Sides From Victor.
