When I first heard this I assumed it was Jane Russell, how wrong was I!! Gloria Wood

A singer needs lungs...but not that kind of lungs. lol

78s to bake biscuits and hope the headache pill works by --

Now playing, it's 1929 with Johnny Marvin and one of the year's big hits courtesy of Dubin and Burke, "Tiptoe Thru The Tulips." No ukulele, but a dandy soft-shoe sandpaper-block solo on the third chorus.

Next, ahead to 1940 with Kay Kyser and his Orchestra, and a novelty number that's completely incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't know the radio stars of the day, "Who's Yehudi?" The Ol' Perfessor joins Sully Mason and Harry Babbitt do the vocal, with Harry doing an absolutely dead-on impression of Jerry Colonna. Which must be a nice talent to have.

Various Andy Williams and Bing Crosby I could find on youtube. Need something calm and uplifting at the same time.

Gee, if they'd printed it on paper, we'd call it ephemera.

Do you drop 'em or stamp 'em?

The biscuits, I mean. Put down that rolling pin.

Me, I'm listening (none too intently) to NBC's coverage of Da Macy*s Day P'rade. And they don't just cover the parade, they bury it. Next year it'll be called the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Al Fresco Static Revue.

Oh wait. I see cops. And Hamburger Helper. And some dude in a velvet Tyrolean singing Try a Little Tenderness. On a float. Now that's Da P'rade.

In the sandwich shop yesterday they were playing a remix of Ray Charles 1955 hit 'I Got a Woman'.

I was wondering what they were playing over the din until I recognised one of the verses of the song being repeated over and over, and over, and over.

Talk about turning something cool into complete doggerel.

Gershwin ..."Walking the Dog" (1937) ... better than Debussy, better than Ravel ...

1935. Great blues song.

78s to glare balefully at the snow by --

It's 1929, and Miss Ethel Waters gives out with her big hit from "On With The Show," "Am I Blue?" Well, yeah, for at least the next four months, in fact.

Next, ahead to 1937 with Alice Faye and one of the handful of records she made for A. R. C. before Zanuck cracked down on her, "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm." Well, actually, an old corduroy bathrobe.
