Johnny Horton-Cherokee Boogie [1959]
This was off of his 1959 LP that also featured his mega-hit BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. This song was originally done by Moon Mullican and was a hit a few years back by BR 549, but this is by far my all-time favorite version.

Joe Meek Story
This is a documentary abut a very strange record producer--if you thought Phil Spector was odd, check out this guy. He produced Telstar by the Tornados plus lots of other classic British hits--his work is not as well known here in the US, but many collectors still seek out his work

Bosko's Picture Show [1933]
This is the last Looney Tunes cartoon to feature Bosko. It contains the earliest appearance of Hitler in a cartoon short--also there is a certain four-letter word uttered by Bosko. possibly the first use of that certain word in any Hollywood motion picture.
Looney Tunes: Sinkin' In The Bathtub [1930]
This is the very first Looney Tunes Cartoon from 1930 starring Bosko. Now be aware that this contains stereotypes that are no longer accepted today but back in 1930..
