History in the Grooves – Golden Mystics of Old Time Music

History in the Grooves

Hello! Brooke Anderson here, from northeast Ohio. I have been a devoted and ceaseless fan of traditional jazz for over 70 years, not only listening to the music of the greats, but fascinated by the stories of the forgotten. That has lead me to following many trails in researching the stories behind the records in my 78 collection. I look forward to sharing some of my research with you.
