Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi...I don't know why, but rainy days always put me in the mood to listen to classical music.

[Wally_Hood]

Vic 'n' Sade, Who's Who in Kitchenware, wherein the guv tries to compose a short bio for inclusion in a booklet to be printed and distributed to kitchens across the land. Rush offers, repeatedly, a biographical piece he had to memorize in school, and Vic wants to appropriate for himself. Sade can't take it and goes out onto the porch.

Reaching For Someone (and not finding anyone there) 1929

[LizzieMaine]

78s to try to melt six inches of new snow with a furious glare out the window by --

Starting off in 1929 with Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra and a dandy vocal by young Bing on "Living In the Sunlight, Loving In The Moonlight." Clearly he didn't worry about freak April blizzards.

Next, it's 1936 and Hal Kemp and his Orchestra, with Skinnay Ennis crooning "I Can't Get Started." Not Bunny Berigan, but then, it doesn't try to be -- presenting the number not as a jazz anthem but as a jaunty pop tune. And it works.

1937 House Party

is an iTunes playlist I made for the party we had when the City Council decided not to tear the place down. Shuffle play...

Things Are Looking Up - Isham Jones & Orch. That slow choir-like sound of his early 30s band.
It's Swell of You - Teddy Wilson & Orch. Helen Ward, Hodges on sax, and BG on the obble-gobble?
Once in a While - Horace Heidt's Musical Knights. When you hear the electric steel...
Shades of Hades - Larry Clinton & Orch. In sparkling electrical transcription quality.
Slap That Bass - The Six Swingers. And they actually do.
Swing High, Swing Low - Vincent Lopez & Orch. And they do, too.

WHRO, The 1920's radio network

 

[Fletch]

Who Cares If It's Bix

What A Day / Alabammy Snow - Mason-Dixon Orch., 1929.

2 very enjoyable cuts, by Frank Trumbauer's ten-tet out of the Paul Whiteman organization, that nobody's probably sat down and just dug in 3/4 of a century. Owing to the phenomenon of "Bixing," they are fit only to be analyzed for ever finer and more pointless minutiae, in hopes of confirming or rejecting them as pieces of the corpus Beiderbeckensis.

As the little man at the end says: "That's all there is...There ISN'T any maw."

 

[Wally_Hood]

Richard Diamond, Private Detective, The Lynn Knight Case. Who's tickling the ivories while Powell as Diamond sings at the end? Surely not Powell himself?

That's What I Like About the West, by Cowboy Jazz, interspersed amongst the otr.

 

[HadleyH]

As the little man at the end says: "That's all there is...There ISN'T any maw."

...but it was Ethel Barrymore who uttered those lines Fletch! it was her!
