Julius Sumner Miller 6 Falling Bodies And Projectiles. Phantom Dancer Radio Show 7 Oct 14

HUZZAH! Tues 7 October Phantom Dancer is NOW ONLINE till mid-November

“Ah, now what would be the highlight of today’s Phantom Dancer?” I ponder, stroking my exceedingly long chin.

“Could it be the bracket of Duke Ellington with a piano solo by the Duke himself as plays Variations On Mood Indigo on a Nat king Cole Show in 1948?”

“Or could it be the bracket of upbeat live 1940s radio swing mixing Lionel Hampton, Stan Kenton and Bobby Sherwood?”

Choose your own highlight from the play list below, then tune in to The Phantom Dancer with Greg Poppleton this Tuesday 30 September, 12noon – 2pm AEST (+10h GMT) on 107.3 2SER Sydney and online at www.2ser.com.

And as this week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, enjoy Part 6 in our 48 part series of ‘Demonstrations in Physics’ as your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week. Filmed at ABC Sydney in 1969, the always entertaining Professor Julius Sumner Miller uses toys to excite us about Falling Bodies and Projectiles Enjoy!
