Hoopers Madhouse





i bought a lot of 78s as i sometimes do. occasionally i find a transcription disc. this one is the best ever. it’s recorded to a federal perma disk. these supporter up warmly. scads “unreleased” recording of the ink spots, the mills brothers, al jolsen and louie armstrong came off these . it’s a culture home but it’s in the format of a radio show titled “hooper’s madhouse” it was recorded july 24th 1944. the recording engineer is “r. hooper” and probably also the host. he says he broadcasting to california.. where i assume this was mailed. my only other trace other than family names is that the matriarch “evelyn” says warshing instead of washing. it’s not strong, but it’s there. clearly mid-western. but she also says y’all. he has a decent intro and nonetheless a pretty good singing voice. i struggled a bit with side a and there are a couple un-unobstructed skips in the first few seconds it clears up. i also included thsi non-contiguous section of him fumbling with the party at the end of side a. side b has much better tracking in my rip.
