DOWN MEMORY LANE w/ Streamer | Mondays 10:00am to 12:00pm
6 October 1927 - and cinema will never be the same. The first talking picture, 'The Jazz Singer', is released Starring Al Jolson.
Streamer doesn't have this soundtrack, but she does have a lot of Al Jolson songs - so an appropriate selection will be played. Also on this day, but in 1941, Claude Thornhill records 'Autumn Nocturne', which is another bit of music Streamer doesn't have. She does, however, have other Mr Thornhill tracks, and they will be played this week.
On the Australian side of things - a town plan of Sydney is published in 1810, and in 1911, compulsory voting is introduced. As usual, there will be random, non-theme, music thrown in for good measure.
