A Hipster In 1923 (Sub Show)

<< Mr. Ghost Goes To Town
For this episode of Mr. Ghost Goes To Town - with guest host Gary, grateful to Crambone for the opportunity to sub the show - we posit the sort of jaded hipster of today transferred to one hundred year ago. What would he/she/they listen to? Not the commercial releases of King Oliver, Bessie Smith, Eddie Cantor, Jelly Roll Morton, Alberta Hunter, & Al Jolson, no! The more obscure stuff. If in fact there was obscure stuff. It's kind of a strained conceit. It's better if you don't think about it too much.
