Radio Dismuke will ring in the New Year in all four continental United
States time zones with our eighth annual New Year's Eve broadcast.
Joining Dismuke on the broadcast will be guest contributors Eddie The
Collector, Eric, Christian and Matt From College Station who will be
bringing lots of fun and interesting 1920s and 1930s recordings from
their respective 78 rpm record collections. The year 2013 will also
mark the 100th anniversary of the year 1913 - so we will commemorate the
occasion by including a few recordings from that year as well. 2013 is
also the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the Edison Diamond
Disc, a very unusual type of disc record manufactured by the Thomas
Edison company from 1913 - 1929 - so we will also be playing some jazz
and dance band Edison records. And we will also feature one of the
world's first long playing records - a ten inch 80 rpm Edison disc from
1926 that had a playing time in excess of twenty minutes per side. The
records were not commercially successful and only a few were made so
they are extremely rare today. We will not play the entire record all
the way though - but we will sample several minutes worth of it. There
is no better way to get a brand new year off to a great start than with
lots of happy, jazzy and melodic vintage recordings.
For those
who have other plans on New Year's Eve or reside in time zones where the
initial broadcast occurs at odd hours, the entire program will be
rebroadcast in continuous rotation throughout New Year's Day.

About dismuke
- Dismuke
- I own and operate Radio Dismuke, a 24 hour Internet radio station devoted to popular music and jazz from the 1925 - 1935 decade. While I was born many decades after the wonderful music I present passed from the scene and was forgotten, I have been passionate about it ever since I discovered it as a child. I seek to present the music to new generations of listeners so that it may forever have the appreciative modern audience I strongly believe that is worthy of.
