An ongoing collection of radio shows hosted by Bill Chambless on WVUD-FM in Newark, Delaware. From the first program in 1984 to the last one about 19 years later, he explored the music and sounds of yesteryear (1900 to 1940), "scratches and all." The program was a labor of love for him, and he was delighted by all the people who supported the show over the years. These files are free for your use. He would have wanted it that way! Enjoy.

This site is built and maintained by Bill's son, John Andrew Chambless, and draws upon the extensive legacy of his recordings. They are from cassette tapes, so there is usually a "break" in the show at the 45- or 30-minute mark, where the tape was flipped. Sorry if it clips your favorite song short! I've done my best to list some of the details about each program next to the show number. I'll be adding more shows to this page, so check back! You can always e-mail me at jacham1@excite.com. I promise I'll read every e-mail!
