History

John W. Morris launched Old Homestead Record company in 1971 to release new and archival recordings by country singer and banjoist Wade Mainer.[1]

Sublabels included Broadway Intermission, Collectors Series, and Rutabaga Records.

On Broadway Intermission, Morris released Bing Crosby's 1945 "Seventh Air Force Tribute" to vinyl from transcripts of a World War II Armed Forces Radio broadcast. Broadway Intermission also released music by Tommy Dorsey, Bix Beiderbecke, The Mills Brothers, and others.[2]
