Record Collection!

Vol. 15: Long Lost Dell Songs from

Christmas 1959 thru Spring 1960

 BEWARE! NOTHING CAN 

 PREPARE YOU FOR... 

 JUKEBOX GIANTS 

 THAT TIME FORGOT! 

Hello, friends!  Dell Rat Tom

welcoming you to volume 15

of my exclusive 36-part

Shady's Place series

 SAVED 

 BY THE 

 BELL  

 DELL 

Today, you will travel

back to Christmas

1959

and the winter

and spring of

1960

 and find yourself

standing before

the Dell jukebox.

Those dimes

and quarters

you brought

along are

 burning

a hole

in your

pocket...

so why not

feed them

to the record

machine and

play some

of the great

Dell songs

 of late 1959

and early '60?

This series was made possible by Jim Sieling, my good friend

in York, and the husband of John Ettline's niece Nancy.  

Jim Sieling

(faithful friend of The Dell)

As you recall, Jim acquired the Dell's Seeburg jukebox (below)

and many of the records that played on it through the decades. 

Keep in mind that the Dell had two jukeboxes - one in Helen's

snack bar up at the house, the other down in "The Barn" -

the dance hall John had built onto the barn and garage. 

When Jim took possession of the Dell's record collection,

he discovered, to his dismay and ours, that many of

the discs had been improperly handled and stored.

Simply put - they were filthy. 

 Mice (Dell rats?) had made a home among the records, and at least

one snake (a Violet Hill viper?) had slithered in looking for a meal. 

Jim undertook the mammoth job of cleaning, organizing and cataloging

the records, then sent me the finished alphabetical list. There are 6,065

records on Jim's list including Christmas records, 12,130 songs in all!

 My series brings you the 180 best Dell jukebox songs from 1955

through 1963, a period long before I arrived on the scene.

This series is dedicated to

the memory of Nancy Sieling.

Nancy Sieling

(faithful friend of The Dell)

  Nancy, who was John Ettline's niece and Jim's wife, passed away in 2020.

Over the years, Nancy's generous contributions of pictures, information

and Shady Dell memorabilia greatly enhanced the quality of both of my

Dell-themed blogs. We have Nancy to thank for rescuing many of the

Dell's priceless platters when they were art risk of being thrown into

a trash dumpster and destroyed, hence the name of my series... 

 SAVED BY THE BELL  DELL  

Of course, we also have Jim to thank for tackling the enormous

task of cleaning, organizing and cataloging these 6,065 records!

Okay, it's time to use your imagination. Pretend that you are

at the Dell looking at the musical menu on the jukebox.

Scroll down and play the next 5 Dell songs. 

 BEWARE AND BEHOLD... 

  LISTEN AND LEARN... 

 AS WE EXPERIENCE...

order, allowing you to trace the evolution of the

"Shady Dell Sound" and clothing styles

month by month through the years.

Once again I thank our late, great friend of the Dell,

Nancy Sieling, and her husband Jim, for doing the

good work of preserving the Shady Dell legacy for

future generations. We owe you a debt of gratitude.  

Stick around. You'll hear more long lost songs

of the Shady Dell... the moldy oldies, dusty discs,

colossal fossils and rusty relics we like to call...
