This duet of "The parelvissers (translation: The pearlfishers)" sung by Jussi Björling and Robert Merrill is simply beautiful

78s to wonder how long it would take to make a down-filled bathrobe by --

Starting off in 1933 with Richard Himber and his Essex House Orchestra and Joey Nash with "Our Big Love Scene." I used to have a towel swiped from the Essex House, and it was nowhere near as elegant as this orchestra.

Next, 1937 brings us Fats Waller and His Rhythm, with a rollicking "Where Is The Sun?" It's out there, but obviously someone forgot to turn up the thermostat.

Bubbly and light as a glass of champagne!

"Every Now and Then" sung by Margie Kane and Donald Douglas<<<< his voice!!!! OMG :eusa_clap, dances staged by Maurice L. Kusell. From "The Great Gabbo", 1929

Also from The Great Gabbo is I'm In Love With You. I like this version by the High Hatters.

"The High Hatters were an in-house band of the Victor Talking Machine Company led by Leonard Joy, one of Victor's music directors. Most of the band's recordings were exceptionally upbeat and peppy even by the high standards of the era. " (quote from Dismuke)

The H.H are among my 3 favorite bands of the era!!!!:eusa_clap I hadn't heard that song before and .... into my favorites it goes!! Thank you V.C.

I really love to listen to this song when walking with my dog in the evening and it's so silent everywhere.

One of the most fabulous things here is the opportunity to know different things. Just loved this Orch! Tks.

78s to sigh and look for the snow shovel by --

Starting off in 1938, with Kay Kyser and company and a pleasant treatment of one of the definitive cutie-pie-duet songs, "Two Sleepy People," with Ginny and Harry offering some very engaging close harmony on the vocal.

Next, following a commercial for Kools -- the soothing cigarette to smoke when you have a cold -- it's 1937, and perhaps the finest pop vocal duet of the thirties, as Bob Hope and Shirley Ross team with Victor Young's Orchestra on "Thanks For The Memory." The edge was worn off the song by thousands of desultory performances in later years, but when you hear it here, as it was originally meant to be done, it's a very poignant, touching performance -- and an absolutely gorgeous song.

Hick Stomp - Ambrose & Orch., 1936. This chicken-in-the-breadpan swinger is just the thing for an invigorating stroll down Main Street in the old home town, especially when it's 15°F outside. (I just confirmed it.)

Medley of Jones Dance Hits - Isham Jones & Orch., 1935. The famously sourpuss maestro doesn't sound at all happy to verbally introduce half a dozen of his song successes, but the band doesn't dare let him down - they play beautifully.

Terrific Stomp - Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orch., 1929. Soundtrack for an R. Crumb animated short yet to be made: a funkified cityscape of weedy men and brassy women, all in clothes and hats a size too small.

Slumming on Park Avenue - Fletcher Henderson & Orch., 1937. Possibly the first record Henderson made since 1923 that Just Doesn't Swing. Even Chu Berry can't quite get a groove going.

I am listening to a lecture series by Dr. Robert Greenberg on the history of opera. It is fun, because I sing a lot of the music he talks about.
