[78-L] Tinkle-Tonkle Town

[David Lennick]

It's in the 1941 catalogue, and not in the 1940..in fact none of the BC series 
is in the 1940 lists. Alice Remsen sounded like an old schoolteacher on the 
Irving Caesar "Songs of Health" set (late 40s) so unless she's going for the 
"world's oldest woman" record, I'd be surprised if she's still with us.

> I just came across a delightful Bluebird set, (BC 21), of Tinkle-Tonkle Town, written and performed by Alice Remsen.  According to any biographical information I can find, she was born in November of 1896 and is still alive.  It's a story with songs and sound effects accompanied by piano and organ.  These records show no sign of having been touched by a stylus in the 72 years since this set was released and they would be perfect except for the fact that Side one appears to be a dub.  I have never heard of this album before but I was surprised to find that Sides one and two only, (of six), have been remastered by Graham Newton and were being offered on an on-line auction.  These records, along with others that I have, are Bluebirds with 3 digit numbers and neither any on-line discography that I can find nor Stephen Barr's dating guide include 3 digit Bluebirds
