The Old Time Radio website, Radio Days, provided this audio from December, 1929 - two months after the famous stock market crash. Given the current economic situation, I thought it was somewhat poignant to share again as we approach Christmas Eve, 79 years later.It features the KHJ Radio performers singing Christmas songs. Radio Days provided this explanation:
"In 1929, Los Angeles radio station, KHJ, was owned and operated by Cadillac dealer, Don Lee. As a Christmas gift to his staff, he provided a specially-prepared Brunswick disc which featured various KHJ performers singing Christmas songs as a part of the disc. This file is a clip - a little over 4 minutes of that recording and provides some nice Christmas background reminiscent of the times."
