Each night at Tidmouth Sheds can be a chore to get everyone to agree on a record to be played before bed but tonight they settled on Roger Williams.
Thank god for that phonograph.
Drew this based off of a little blurb I wrote on my lunch break one day.. if you wanna read it I’ll link it here!

“Digitized” a wonderful little cylinder I’ve got. Give it a listen by clicking the “Play” button above. Anyone have more info about the song or the singer?

A promotional photograph from RCA Victor, c. 1950
From Wikipedia: "The 7-inch 45 rpm record was released 31 March 1949 by RCA Victor as a smaller, more durable and higher-fidelity replacement for the 78 rpm shellac discs. The first 45 rpm records were monaural, with recordings on both sides of the disc."
"As stereo recordings became popular in the 1960s, almost all 45 rpm records were produced in stereo by the early 1970s. Columbia Records, which had released the 33 1⁄3 rpm 12-inch vinyl LP in June 1948, also released 33 1⁄3 rpm 7-inch vinyl singles in March 1949, but they were soon eclipsed by the RCA Victor 45."
