Next, we meet another man with a love for music.

Our story takes us to Hendersonville, where a man preserves those big band sounds of the 1920s and thirties.

Producer, Doug Stacker shows us how he's on a musical journey to share the magic of spinning those old 78s.

(air whooshing) - There's nothing electrical about it.

Crank it by hand.

This is what people did.

This was the technology of the day.

(record clicking) The bigger the needle, the louder it'll play.

(vintage orchestral music) I am Russ Wilson.

I'm a professional musician, record collector, amateur music historian.

It started when I was about nine or 10 years old and just finding a little handful of records, about a half a dozen.

I owe it all to my dad.

But he loved Reader's Digest.

He bought almost every one of those Reader's Digest box sets.

Those big box sets come with eight or 10 records in them.

One was a album set called "The Great Band Era", 1936 to 1945, and another one was called "In the Groove with the Kings of Swing".

And I listen to those records religiously.

(drum stick tapping) That experience kind of patterned the rest of my life.

♪ Dance with me - [Russ] I love that music.

I knew I wanted to play that music.

♪ Bend with me - The tagline that I've been getting being a vintage band leader is the Paul Whiteman of the 21st century.

(band music) (dramatic orchestral music) Doing the Paul Whiteman music and the band leader and keeping this music alive and bringing it to a new and younger audience.

(dramatic orchestral music) Well, folks, this is the museum, as my friends and family call it.

This is where the majority of the antique phonographs live.

(jazzy music) 29 phonographs, two sets of vintage Hi-Fi gear, the '64 Wurlitzer Jukebox, and between the 33s, 45s, and the 78s, but mostly 78s over 5,000.

(jazzy music) And here we have the record room.

I guess this is truly the heart and soul of my collection.

This houses all the 78s.

All this here is jazz and dance band, 78s, twenties through early, early forties.

It's owning your own little piece of history.

You have these records.

I mean, granted, you can listen to it on a CD any time of the day, but to actually have this record in your hands and put it on a turntable or put it on a phonograph in there, it's a piece of history that you own and you can listen to it.

♪ In the groove, in the groove ♪ In the groove, in the groove ♪ In the groove with Russ and Jimmy ♪ - Welcome to another night, another edition of "In The Groove".

I'm your host, Russ Wilson.

I'm an old fashioned disc jockey for two hours and playing records on the air and have a ball doing it.

Everything that I play is right there in the studio on a turntable.

I do not digitize anything.

The overall response was good.

I've got listeners from all parts of the world.

♪ On my way to Ida, Idaho ♪ Ida, Idaho - They talk about the roaring twenties and the thirties, forties, the swing era.

(string music) That time period is a very, to me it's all about style and class.

And there have been a lot of times I've visualized myself in your own little world, in your own little section of time that you can just kind of drift off to and think about how you would've been in that era.
