An Interview with Pinocchio

Or, more correctly, Dick Jones, formerly Dickie Jones, child actor in movies such as "Babes in Toyland" (he's the kid hanging onto the leg of a wooden soldier during the battle against the Bogeymen), "Destry Rides Again" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." Here's a video about his career:

Welcome!

I'm Randy, host of the "Forward Into the Past" radio show, heard each Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Pacific Time in the Los Angeles area over KSPC-FM 88.7. You can hear it in real time anywhere in the world on the internet at http://www.kspc.org. The show is devoted to recordings of the 1920s through the '40s. I feature hot-dance music, early jazz, big bands, show tunes, movie soundtracks, comedy, novelty and personality records, blues and western swing. I invite you to hear the program, and I would love to communicate with other record collectors, or folks who just enjoy the entertainment of this era.

Welcome!

I'm just checking to see what this looks like.
