[78-L] "Boardwalk Empire" WOW!

[Bill Knowlton]

Hey, this new HBO series got the music RIGHT!! Acoustic 78s from the early 20s where "Boardwalk Empire".
 
I heard Whiteman's "Whispering," Sophie Tucker's "Some Of These Days," Caruso, "Japanese Sandman" and other great stuff.
 
I spotted the first Victor Talking Machine with an inside horn and I think the morning glory horn machine was NOT a crap-o-phone.
 
I specifically signed back on to HBO for this and I'm glad I did!
