It's Betty Bolton's 119th birthday, and to honor her contributions to British popular culture, I've launched a new website with a biography, a discography, images, and playlist. From the maker of @elsiecarlisle.com, @mauriceelwin.com, and @annelenner.com :

Betty Bolton
Actress, dancer, singer, radio star, and recording artist, Betty Bolton (1906-2005) enriched interwar entertainment with her distinctive vocals.

This new project is what I've spent a lot of time on this last year:
One of my favorite Anne Lenner vocals. I have yet to locate a copy of the 78.
"What's New?" (J. Burke-Haggart). Recorded in London on November 18, 1939 by Carroll Gibbons and His Band (i.e., the Savoy Hotel Orpheans) with singers Eric Whitley and Anne Lenner. Columbia FB-2327.

I'm only on Chapter 2, but I already love the vibes of #SouthOfMidnight. It reminds me of both Sanitarium and the American McGee's Alice games (some of my very favorites).

Q: Why do you think your supporters have been so interested in the Epstein story?
TRUMP: I don't understand it. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the fascination is. The credible information has been given. It's pretty boring stuff.
