Tribute Song Brought Back to Life!
[A couple months back, our Chiro-Picker posted an article that showcased some of his coolest chiropractic radio finds from the days of old. One such find was the sheet music to a song written and composed for BJ Palmer’s radio station, WOC, by vaudeville singer-dancer Nat Ozmon. It was a tribute to both BJ and his wife, Mabel. It’s been some time since the notes of this 1923 piece have made their way to the keys of a piano — as such the Picker issued an invitation for someone to step up and bring it back to life. …Well, I just couldn’t resist. With my love for chiropractic history — especially its radio history — the sheet music beckoned me. And so, with the help of three willing participants from my church (Russ and Ardis Swank on vocals and Mary Stewart on piano), Nat’s song to the old W-O-C sprung back to life. And from that not only was an audio podcast, by yours truly, inspired (SCR episode 105), but another installment of BJ TV. What would BJ think??…. Well, you’ll just have to watch the video below to find out. And then, of course tune into the audio podcast to squeeze the nectar out of this one. My wife assures me that this is my best one yet! (She always says that). Below the video is an article from the Chiro-Picker which gives you some more of his thoughts on the song and some behind the scenes information related to this particular offering of BJ TV. Oh… and I’ll be back with some extra info in the DC Angle at the bottom. — dr. tom]
