"Black Friday" predates shopping deals. The term originally referred to the 1869 U.S. financial panic & stock market crash.

Black Friday is also a 1904 novel by Frederic S. Isham, inspired by those events. A 1916 silent film adaptation was made, but may be lost.

#Thanksgiving & football go hand in hand, and THE FRESHMAN (1925) shows the frenzy has been around for over a century. Harold Lloyd’s chaotic climactic game helped shape every underdog sports comedy that followed. Touchdown! 🏈

If we had been doing legally solid #PublicDomain episodes for the whole length of our 20 years of @accordionnoir broadcasts, we would’ve had to rewind and start over 30 years earlier halfway through

Oh my gosh, “Cheerful Little Earfull” (1930 performance rights, not the recordings) hits the #PublicDomain in 2026!

Everyone should know this Gershwin number!

1930 Fred Rich (as ‘Chester Leighton’) - Cheerful Little Earful (Smith Ballew, vocal) - "Cheerful Little Earful"
