The town of Hazelhurst, like so many others in the Northwoods, got its start through the logging industry. But unlike other Northwoods communities with origins in logging, Hazelhurst's ties to the Yawkey Lumber Company gave it a slightly different trajectory. It was a path that shapes the community to this day. Cyrus Carpenter Yawkey was a nephew of Michigan lumbering tycoon William Clyman Yawkey and grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, where he learned the trade. In 1888, William, Cyrus, and George E. Lee acquired a sizeable tract of land around Lake Katherine and started the sawmill village of Hazelhurst. The three men organized the Yawkey and Lee Lumber Company, and immediately commenced timber cutting in the winter of 1888-1889. Cyrus Yawkey was a teetotaler and did not allow saloons or other disreputable businesses in his new village, and this set Hazelhurst apart from other logging boomtowns. However, not long after the village was founded, a large barge with a building on top of it

Welcome to Glenn Robison's Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can't *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and '30s. On this evening's show we've got some songs about guys and gals, and we're going to celebrate the birthday of Joseph Mack. Enjoy the show! Here’s the complete playlist: Segment 1: EponymousTo get us started, I learned a new word the other day. Eponymous -an adjective meaning of, relating to, or being one for whom something is named or is believed to be named; or being or having a name that is based on or derived from the name of one associated with it. So here are some eponymous songs.Henderson Stomp – Fletcher Henderson Merritt Stomp – George E. Lee and His Novelty Singing Orchestra Hiawatha's Lullaby – Joe Venuti's Blue Five / Howard Phillips, v. Wylie Avenue Blues – Albert “Abbie” Brunies and His Half-Way House Orchestra Segment 2: Mack TruckingNovember 27 marked the birth in 1870 of Joseph Mack. He and his brothers John, Augustus, and William built the Mack bus, which operated in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for eight years before being converted into a truck. So here in tribute to the Mack brothers, some truckin songs.Truckin' – Roy Fox and His Band / Mary Lee, v. Us on a Bus – Teddy Stauffer and The Original Teddies / Billy Toffel, v. Trucking on Down – George Scott Wood and His Orchestra / Marjorie Stedeford, v. Truckin' – Duke Ellington and His Orchestra / Ivy Anderson, v. Segment 3: Eponymous BandsLet's review. What does eponymous mean? That's right! Being or having a name that is based on or derived from the name of one associated with it. For example, Waring's Pennsylvanians. And here they are, with one of my favorite songs. Gloriana – Waring's Pennsylvanians / Clare Hanlon, v. Nightingale Rag Blues – Hitch's Happy Harmonists Stockyard Strut – Freddy Keppard's Jazz Cardinals Pretty Audrey – Louis Duamine's Jazzola Eight Segment 4: Guys & GalsFor no particular reason, here's a set of songs about guys and gals. She's the Sweetheart of Six Other Guys – Harry Reser's Six Jumping Jacks / Tommy Stacks, v. Out o' Town Gal – Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra / Bing Crosby, Harry Barris, Al Rinker, Jack Fulton, v. A Guy What Takes His Time – Mae West There's a Wah Wah Gal in Agua Caliente – Boswell Sisters THANKS FOR LISTENING!
