I wanted some info on my grandpa, as I never net him, and there is a blog about his beginnings and ends. I am the daughter of John Dolphin's first son, John Dolphin II, and I just wanted to see another story than the one my father told me. My name is Alia Ruth Devon Dolphin and its incredible to see the man and woman I am named after still remembered. This is astounding.

]]> Comment on “Didn’t It Rain” by Evelyn Freeman & the Exciting Voices by david kilby http://rockinsteve.wordpress.com/2007/12/25/didnt-it-rain-by-evelyn-freeman-the-exciting-voices/#comment-36 david kilby Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:28:48 +0000 http://rockinsteve.wordpress.com/2007/12/25/didnt-it-rain-by-evelyn-freeman-the-exciting-voices/#comment-36 ack in the early sixties I used to frequent a second hand ship in Sydney that I later realised was where some radio stations used to dispose of the records that they received but didn't use.I used to buy them for 1/6 or 2 shillings....occasionally 3/6....mostly on spec...I'd be drawn either by the artist's name (especially if it sounded black)...the title or the label.Unfortunately I was an impoverished student so the volume on 'interesting' names vastly exceeded what I could purchase. The Exciting Voices of Evelyn Freeman doing a song called Didn't It Rain(United artists label) sounded like it had possibilities so I bought it. When I got it home and played it I loved it and it still remains one of my all time favourites. Years later I picked up Didn't It Rock from an American record list but(I agree) it never reached the heights that Rain reached. Four years ago my wife and I were travelling the USA and pulled in to Yuma. Our youngest son and I popped into an Op shop that had spme records. There was nothing remotely of interest until the 2nd last in the pile. It was the Bel Canto LP of Didn't It Rain !! Incidentally I paid full price for a 78 copy of Raunchy when i was a kid and since then have been fascinated following Ernie Freeman's chameleon like musical career...even bought him when he called himself Sir Chauncy ! ack in the early sixties I used to frequent a second hand ship in Sydney that I later realised was where some radio stations used to dispose of the records that they received but didn’t use.I used to buy them for 1/6 or 2 shillings….occasionally 3/6….mostly on spec…I’d be drawn either by the artist’s name (especially if it sounded black)…the title or the label.Unfortunately I was an impoverished student so the volume on ‘interesting’ names vastly exceeded what I could purchase.
