I’ve never been more excited to do a blog post.

My goal was to preserve some never-before-heard recordings of the Firehouse Five Plus Two, a famous Disney-employee dixieland jazz band.

But along the way, I accidentally uncovered something incredible… a lost song that was cut from Walt Disney’s Cinderella, a song that hasn’t been heard in almost 75 years.

And you’re about to hear it too.

@cabel This is extraordinary. Thank you for taking the time to do this right. (Although not rare like this, I recently digitized the record that came with the Mickey Mouse in Color book from the late 1980s, an interview with Carl Barks and Floyd Gottfredson, thinking I'd put it online... But of course there were already copies on YouTube!)

@cabel So great, Cabel!

One of the things I love about physical media, and records in particular, is that they seem to last and last. I've got some from my Dad's collection dating back to the early 50s that are in near-perfect condition.

So happy you were able to snag & restore these!

I am not a big fan of Jazz nor Disney, but any story about lost media is very interesting to me - and to discover and share a lost song from Cinderella is AMAZING!

Similar to the story of John saving the Western State Hurricane’s lost album, saving these delicate lost practice albums from the 40’s is such great story ☺️

@cabel CABEL. Bless your impulse purchases of long-lost Disney relics. I lost a beautiful hour listening to these (and discovering Ward’s incredible set of Christmas cards on Amid Amidi’s Kimball account!!). Thank you. 🖤🖤

@cabel @siracusa Growing up in the 50’s-60’s in the San Gabriel Valley, Disneyland was a family favorite quick getaway. My parents, especially loved the FH5+2, and passed that love of music to us.

Thanks for finding and preserving these treasures and for the trip down Memory Lane. Thucks sent.
