[78-L] Gospel Boogie - A blog...

[Matthew Duncan]

James,
 
Great blog!  I am a collector of gospel 78s aswell.  Many of mine are from the 20s with blues inflections but I have some later ones.  It took me a while to get into gospel music in the same way as you explain why people are put off it...but now, even though I am a 'non believer' I enjoy many styles of gospel music.  I enjoy the music because the performers believe in what they are singing and the varied ways it is expressed.
 
I may upload some of my gospel 78s to my Youtube channel at some point.  I also have some 78s of non English lyrics and don't understand them either...but I dig the feeling ... which counts I guess...Cajun music and Mexican music are two examples that spring to mind.
 
Keep up the good work!

Matt in the UK

Yeah, burned right to the ground. Shady circumstances from what I 
hear....but that is nothing more then hearsay. It has taken me a while, 
but I have close to 90% of the quartet related stuff from the 
label...and in good shape.

Glad you like the site. I always feel that for much of it, the thing 
that turns folks off is that it is gospel....not the music. Perhaps not. 
Either way, I like it and like to share it. I will most likely not be 
quite so active over time...but I will post here when I do updates. I 
have two more blog ideas bouncing around, both dedicated strictly to 
78's. The thing is, I have the records, but don't know a lot about the 
music so there is not much I can write about it. One of them is related 
to Mexican 78's from the late 30's to the early 50's. I have a lot of 
those records in great shape, Trio's and Rancheras mostly, but I don't 
speak Spanish and know nothing about the labels or artists. We will see....
