The K-Rob Collection
From it's early days in the 1920's news was an important part of radio. The first newscasts were little more than announcers reading press releases and police reports. In the 1930s and 40s, network newscasts evolved into audio versions of newspaper columns. During the World War Two and into the 1950s there was the arrival of the radio news anchor, who presented reporters on the scene, with commentary confined to the people actually making the news. You're hear this transition develop over decades of radio news coverage.

Gold Seal
© Robert L. Campbell and Robert Pruter
Revised: April 20, 2024
A Gold Seal jazz offering. From the collection of Tom Hustad.
Revision note: Gold Seal is so obscure that we are still finding more singles. Most recently, it was 3510 by Kenny Jagger. We have found confirmaton on a fourth Red Murrell Gold Seal derived from his Acme releases. We have some better indication of the release dates, both on Jagger's Gold Seal singles and on his subsequent recordings for the California-based fm label. The 78s (audio files and photos) that are covered on the Internet Archive site (https://archive.org/about/) include several on the Chicago Gold Seal, one of which (337 by Al Piazza) was new to us. We have firmed up the dates for the short-lived California Gold Seal label: it was active in August and September 1946, was owned by Lew Chudd and Max Freitag, and was almost immediately displaced by Imperial. We have a more definite date on Robert Crum's session, the first for the Chicago Gold Seal label that is our main interest here, and more by way of a biography

Hidden History of Aiken County
Situated between the mountains and the coast, Aiken County attracted ailing members of the southern planter class once the railroad from Charleston to Hamburg was completed in 1833. After the Civil War, grand hotels and sporting activities drew wealthy northern capitalists south for the winter here. A third era of prosperity came in the 1950s, when the Cold War prompted the construction of a nuclear reservation. Local author Tom Mack uncovers the lesser-known stories behind the major events that shaped the area's colorful past. Meet inventor James Legare, political insider George Croft and singing sensation Arthur Lee Simpkins. Learn about the controversial Graniteville murder of 1876 and how an abdicated king found solace in Aiken in 1936. And discover so many more interesting stories.
