Vintage radio to eat the customary corn flakes by --

Now playing, it's the 2/13/37 broadcast of the Metropolitan Opera production of "Manon," featuring the American debut of Brazilian soprano Bidu Sayao -- who used to live just a few miles up the road from here, in a house with a sign out front reading "Casa Bidu." I drove by there often, thinking "Gee, that's the same name as that opera singer. Can't be too many of those." But because we don't believe in pestering celebrities around here, I didn't find out it was actually her until she'd passed away.

"It all seems wrong somehow
that you are nobody's sweetheart now"

Love that song, my favorite version!

More vintage radio, more cornflakes.

Now playing, it's an urgent WOR-Press Radio News bulletin from 3/15/38, as Old Nasty prepares to march into Vienna. Announcer Dave Driscoll manages to talk for twelve minutes without ever taking a breath.

He had to. 1,000 listeners would probably have flipped to Kaltenborn and Shirer on WABC every time he inhaled.

Funny, that was about the time my old pal Alvin Josephy Jr. worked for WOR. He was the Man on the Street, or interviewed him. One day that summer he was on the scene for what became the most famous jumper case to date.

"The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress,
My heart forgets to beat..."

Just the mere thought .... I am breathless....

Sorry Hadley, you're wrong. The best Bananarama song was their first (t'was all downhill from there!)"It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it" with Fun Boy Three.
