Summary
A chat with British blues guitarist and roots music historian Martyn Roper: http://martynroper.com/ . Travel back to the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s 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.
