Watch Gramophoned - Ann Stephens with orchestra - Buckingham Palace 1941 HMV OEA8645 video on DTube
#gramophoned
Had a look in my shed the other day, while I was in there I came across a huge pile of gramophone 78rpm records and thought to myself 'what should I do with them?'. Then, this idea came up 'I'm going to record them all and post them up on a decentralised network, where they will be preserved forever for other generations to discover and enjoy!'.
So, here we go, this is the second in the series for you good people out there, I hope you enjoy this historical musical journey as much as I am sure I will.
Any comments or knowledge of any of the artists/songs etc. are most welcome.
Thank you for your time.

Ann Stephens (21 May 1931 – 15 July 1966 was a British child actress and singer, popular in the 1940s. She was born in London. In July 1941 she recorded several songs, including a popular version of "The Teddy Bears' Picnic", "Dicky Bird Hop" (with Franklin Engelmann) and a setting by Harold Fraser-Simson of one of A. A.

In the same year she played Alice in musical recordings based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
