I don't really look like this. Hi! Welcome to my website - I'm Glen Richards, and this is my site dedicated to hot-dance and jazz music of the 1920's and 1930's. There are recordings here in MP3 format, many pictures of well-known (and not so well-known) musicians and radio stars, scans of various popular music and radio publications, information about how I create the MP3 files, a discussion forum, some info about me, and whatever else I happen to find interesting...

Please feel free to look around, and if you have any questions, just click on the "Contact Glen" button to send me a message!
Here's a guide to all the menu options - the menu is located over there, on the left:
