The Brownbread Tapes

The Brownbread Tapes

Sidney Brownbread, self employed and freelance. Taking care of your business problems. Discretion assured, well unless you upset him. Don't ever do that. Each episode is a self contained monologue, stories of the various jobs Brownbread has undertaken. Most no more than three minutes long and backed by a suitable piece of old time music. Played directly from a 78rpm record.

The man with the 'mysterious' job needs to relax at times. What could be better than spinning a few discs, old shellac ones, of a 78rpm nature. Backed up with a bit of chat, Brownbread style, and a bit of other nonsense along the way.  Here's his play list.

Blues in the night- Benny Goodman Sextet, vocals Peggy Lee.

Blue Mood part one- Teddy Wilson.

Arkansas Blues- Mildred Bailey.

Wandering Blues- Charlie Barnet, vocals Margaret An...

Off to the countryside again. A walk in the woods. Watching the wild life? A bit of stalking, possibly. If you down to the woods today, you better not go alone...especially in burgundy coloured trousers

Country house mystery? Not really, in the end. A notorious list of guests, an evening of fine dining and entertainment. A tragic end. It'll be the butler,  it usually is!
