[Nfb-history] This list has been too quiet

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     The Newcomer Twins were Eileen and Maxine Newcomer. The information I have is that they were born in 1925 and had a contract to perform on WWVA in 1941. I don't have much information on hand although the JTL has a pamphlet and some of their discs. So far, I have found one link:

  They made live recordings of themselves while on the radio using a record cutter.
  Record cutters were RPM78 machines that accepted acetate blanks. While acquiring materials for the JTL in 2004, I obtained a box of these blanks and part of their record collection. The records are labeled in braille. More later.

  Regards,

  Robert

    Hello List:

         I am researching an article, and came across three mp3s of the Newcomer Twins. Maxine and Eileen Newcomer 1925--Circa 1980. These mp3s were cut during live broadcasts during WWII. Enjoy!

    Regards,

    Robert
