Shrimp Boats December 12, 2008


More amazing audio history thanks to Rich England who came up with some very "precious" recordings from Victoria's musical history. Todays addition is the first of three from Rich with the next 2 being recorded at the the opening of the brand new "CJVI" studios at 817 Fort St. in 1952. This will be the oldest recording on www.rcmpsite.com and in the Royal City Music Project archives.

Todays audio addition: Shrimp Boats (The Hometowners 1950)
