Welcome to The Motel Lounge! What's your poison? This album blog features a variety of unusual vinyl finds from the days when the only way to reach an audience was for the artist to custom press their own LPs that could be sold in the lounge settings, private parties or weddings at which they performed. I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!

From the back cover: Every evening at 9:00 o'clock (except Sunday), Bill Coburn and his Combo step into the spotlight at Dayton's own Colony Club. The beat is counted and Vic Tooker vocalizes on "Don't Forget Our Monday, (or whatever-day), Date" ... And it seems that the steady fans of the combo have kept that date, many, many times over the ten years that Bill's Band has been featured at the Colony!

The Two Pianos Of Jeffry & Ronald Marlowe
Devon Records, Inc. - Jenkintown, PA
DV 7111
From the back cover: The two pianos of then Marlowes have been heard by millions of music lovers since a pair of prodigious eleven year olds made their debut on a coast to coast telecast with Milton Berle. Natives of Philadelphia and proteges of the famed duo-piano teams of Luboshutz and Nemenoff, Jeffry and Ronald made their orchestral debut, also at the age of eleven, with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Scores of television appearances and six seasons of sold-out, cross-country recital tours have followed, as well as engagements with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and many other symphony orchestras.
