What are you listening to?

[Shangas]

Benny Goodman and His Orchestra - "Sing, Sing, Sing" (Rec. 1938).

One of my favourite Goodman tunes.

Such taste, Hadley. Really an advanced piece of music for the day - a tour de force. In fact it's almost too good to dance to.

Let's go back to 1932, just for a few minutes, for something slow?
Why Can't This Night Go On Forever? - Isham Jones, his orchestra and song.

Be ready to dip...right at the end. I'll hold onto you, I promise.

Bit of an entr'acte flavor there...out to the vestibule for a spot and a gasper and a few choice words about the show?

78s to wish it would stop raining by --

Now playing, what should be the unofficial theme song of the Fedora Lounge, Kay Kyser and his Orchestra with "Way Back In 1939 A.D." Harry Babbitt and Ginny Simms do their usual excellent job of comic harmonizing on the vocal:

"Awwww, I'd serenade ya, dear Juliet, with a portable radio. With no aerial! Wayy back in 1939 A. D.!"

"Ahh, Romeo -- One Orson Welles, Two Thanksgivings, and Three Little Fishies -- way back in 1939 A. D.!"

Next up -- back to 1933 A. D. with the Pickens Sisters, and "Happiness Ahead."

Dang it the only rendition I have is by Gray Gordon & His Tic Toc Music, and it's pretty listless - probably 'cause they were recording on January 9, 1940, a little past the expiration date.

Gordon's singer was Cliff Grass, the guy who played the clarinet solos on Guy Lombardo's TV programs. I believe he was the only guy in show biz who got his stage name from a shirt laundry. (He was Iliff - a German name of Old Norse origin - till he sent a shirt in that came back marked Cliff.)

And wakes them up the same way in the early bright..."

Well does he have interesting things to sell or is it not like music in your ears

It is some kind a card game that is like Pokieman. But he makes some money at it.
