nice. I like your little comments on the records, that give an impression of
what's heard on them.
Where do you live in the Bay area?

I haven't been able to find a cd of 'Charlie' but perhaps there's a selection on the compilation disc mentioned?
Yep! One track, "Slummin' On Park Avenue". It's Karl "Charlie" Schwedler, "who worked in the German Foreign Ministry's departement in 1941, concerned with the political side of broadcasting"... et al, as the booklet says. Lyrics go something like this: "...let's go bombing, just like the British do; let's bomb the French, that once were our allies..." etc etc. When, please, have the French been the allies of
Germany???
