Haunted Memories, Harvest Ghosts, and Halloween Hokum!

Travel back to the 1920s and 1930s as vaudeville blues and ragtime hokum musician Jack Norton spins his favorite 78 rpm records from his collection. From early hot jazz to jug band blues, hillbilly hits to novelty swing, Jack’s love for vintage tunes shines through with every tune he drops on the turntable. Sit back, relax, and let the soothing retro vibes of the good old days soothe your weary soul.

If the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, new episodes drop every Tuesday. Visit https://jacknortonmusic.com for more details. Wanna request a tune or need advice answered with a song? Email Jack at [e-mail]
