What are you listening to?

some noisy #$%^&* hat with a gas powered leaf blower..you know where i want to put it..

 

I don't remember the context, but when I was a kid I remember my Dad saying "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows". It wasn't until I was an adult that learned where it came from. He must have been a fan in the 40's and 50's. Strange how things connect up. Cheers.

 

There was an episode of mash where radar said the quote also... I never heard it while I was growing up because I was many generations after that. I heard it after radar mentioned it.....

 

My father is close to ninety and still quotes "The Shadow". I was fortunate enough to grow up to have an AM radio station that played Inner Sanctum, Johny Dollar, and the Creaking Door on Saturday nights. We would be sitting in the dining room listening to it and my mother would walk in and say "Turn that off, it gives me the creeps". A which my father would reply "but Keith likes it"

 

Not too late to listen, they're fun shows.

 

That's very true...

 

In our house if we watch tv it's at least 20 - 50 years old episode, but quite often we listen to records or music on the radio. It makes for a very relaxing evening.

 

I still have a vinyl record with 2 "Shadow" episodes on it. Haven't listened to it in probably 40+ years, though. I do have a working turntable that I uses regularly, so perhaps this will make it into the rotation soon.

Here it is: https://www.discogs.com/release/287...ogram-Bret-Morrison-Bill-Johnstone-The-Shadow

I also have an "Inner Sanctum" cassette tape.

 

I've been listening to a lot of the following lately:

Cannonball Adderley
John Coltrane
Eric Dolphy
Sonny Rollins
Thelonious Monk
Miles Davis


I had never dug into Adderley and Dolphy before, and I didn't know what I was missing! Now I've been buying them on vinyl!

 

Blues guy/ guitar player here, old school. One of the West Coast's best blues backup bands.

 

I first read the lyrics to my 28 year old son then asked him when it was written. I played it for him and he recognized it and said "Queen?".

 

1975..

 

I was pleased that he recognized it as Queen. He's very well introduced to music from 80's back to the 20's - 30's mainly jazz and big band.

 

very cool.
