[Fletch]

Lew Stone and His Orchestra - "Anything Goes"

One of the top swingin' renditions that. Stone's band is remembered as genteel as all get out, but they could shout. The Radio Three girls sound pleasantly prim asking if you'd like them undressed (noooo, it wasn't a Phonovision record!). Jim Easton's bari sax and Albert Harris' guitar feature.

YouTube version, with some risqué period pix
RealAudio version, use your imagination

The Tidally Fart Cha-Cha?

Never tidally fart. You may cause a tsunami. lol

Enough funny from me tho. I have a Mystery Tune!

Not just a contest - even I don't know the name of it.
Medium fox, stock-ish arrangement with strings doubling the lead. Key of C, modulating to F for a tenor sax solo, and then to D flat for the out chorus. Nearly 5 min long.
It came on a .zip file as part of a 1933 transcription date by Carl Fenton's Orchestra.
The other titles - all pretty good hits of summer '33 - are Thanks, Sittin' on a Log, Throw Another Log on the Fire, Old Spinning Wheel, It's the Talk of the Town, and You Have Taken My Heart.

Pandora's Bing Crosby Holiday station. I can't listen to new and "improved" Christmas songs by current artists. Just. Can't. Do. It.

Enjoying those high fidelity (for 1932) Crown Records.
Russ Carlson led the excellent house ork of many names; Joel Shaw used his boss Gene Kardos' musicians.
Those two outfits made most all the dance pops, but once in a while they'd get another band - like Bill Scotti's, then playing the Silvertown Tire program as "Sam Ross". Tappy and tuneful stuff all around.

My Heart's At Ease - Russ Carlson, July *** Attention Hadley: Feldkamp Alert!
Sleep Come On and Take Me - Russ Carlson, June
That's A Plenty - Joel Shaw, July
There's A New Day Comin' - Sam Ross, December

 

[Amy Jeanne]

"If I Ever Get A Job Again"

Love it!!

Radio to fight with the cat for posession of a chicken sandwich by --

It's June 21, 1935, and the Flying Red Horse brings you "Socony Sketchbook," featuring the elegant music of Johnny Green and his Orchestra, the vocals of 18-year-old Virginia Verrill and the Four Eton Boys, and the literary musings of essayist Christopher Morley. One of the classiest music shows ever -- makes me want to go right down to the corner right this very moment and fill up with Mobilgas and Mobiloil. Maybe I'll even take my car along, too.
