Salutations Phantom Dancers,
Another humdinger of a show for you this week. Vincent Price introduces calypso pioneers Lord Invader & Lord Beginner, Bob Hope introduces Bing Crosby & The Andrew Sisters. Plus more 1940s Australian swing by George Trevare, Billy Cotton from London & Angelini from Rome
An Olympic Video Of The Week: Bing Crosby, Bob Hope (who gets very angry at the beginning – look at his face when he hits Jerry Lewis), Dean Martin, the aforementioned Jerry Lewis & John Scott Trotter's Orchestra raising money to send the US team to the 1952 Helsinki Games. Presented by Greg Poppleton

This week's Phantom Dancer features a set of Glenn Miller without Glenn Miller – former band members who kept up the name or went their own musical directions. You'll hear 1940s – 50s radio broadcasts by former Miller singer, Ray Eberle, former Miller arranger, Jerry Gray, Miller singer and saxophonist, Tex Beneke, and former Miller drummer, Ray McKinley
This week you'll also hear a broadcast by 'nine-year-old' Toni Harper singing with the Count Basie Orchestra on a Jubilee show from Hollywood. And this week's Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, features the young Toni Harper from the 1948 film 'Make Believe Ballroom'
You can read this week's play list and enjoy the Video of the Week at Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2012....-singer

As well as live 1930s-50s radio by the orchestras of George Olsen, Duke Ellington, Ray Herbeck and more. Tune in. Time and station after the Video of the Week

Play List 12 Noon Tues 14 Aug & 6pm Sun 18 Aug 2012
Goodness gracious! What a time you'll have this week listening in to The Phantom Dancer!
Just like the two women on their 1922 mobile phone in this week's Phantom Dancer Video Of The Week, just hook up your umbrella aerial to the nearest fire hydrant and tune into live vintage radio swing and jazz by Hal Kemp, George Trevare, Duke Ellington and lots more!
Bobby Haggart and Ray Bauduc even duet on Big Noise from Winnetka live for you from 1939!
Presented by Greg Poppleton since 1985
See the mobile phone demonstration from 1922 and the Phantom dancer play list at Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge Blog: http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2012....om-1922

Firstly, apologies to Sydney Phantom Dancer listeners last Saturday night on 2SER when the show was interrupted for 25 minutes by our friends at Latinos FM
Secondly, this week's Phantom Dancer show is a doozy. The late, great Tony Martin sings with Ray Noble, Jimmy Grier and The 3 Cheers perform Dinah and Sarah Vaughan holds sway from Birdland, all from rare 1920s - 1960s radio & TV shows, of course
And while on the subject of TV, The Phantom Dancer Video of the Week is NBC's 10th Anniversary of TV show, April 1949
Read this week's play list and watch the Video of the Week on the Phantom Dancer blog at Greg Poppleton's Radio Lounge http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2012....ow-1949
