Every Tuesday
Three Tune Tuesday
Every Tuesday, Boneapart and Yulia spin three songs from 78rpm records more than 100 years old: ragtime, early jazz, blues, vaudeville, Tin Pan Alley, dance bands and forgotten hits from the 1900s to the 1920s.
It’s more than nostalgia — it’s a time machine. Three tunes, every Tuesday, played the way they were first heard.
