There's questions we're always hearing every where
we go
Like how do I cut a record or get on a country show

Well, it takes more than just ambition and three
chords on an old guitar
There's a few more things you ought to learn to be a
country star

You got to learn to sing like Waylon or pick like Jerry
Reed
Yodel like Jeannie Shepard, write songs like Tom T
Put a cry in your voice like Haggard, learn Spanish
like Johnny R
Whisper like Bill Andersen and you'll be a country
star

Play piano like Ronnie Mil sap or Gilly or Jerry Lee
Yo-yo like Roy Acuff or talk plain like Ralph Emery
Growl like Con way Twitty, get a red, white and blue
guitar
Build a swimming pool like Webb did and you'll be a
country star

Be tall like Sonny James is, tell jokes like Minnie
Pearl
Or be short like Jimmy Dickens or play five-string
like Earl
Get a hip band like Willie, learn to stutter like H-Hel
Get a cap like Roy Clark wore or a voice like Barbara
Mandrel
Be rich like Eddy Arnold, say you're imakin more
than you are
Get a gimmick like Charley Pricle got and you'll be a
country star

But if you have no talent and you're not a male If you're built somewhat like Dolly or have a face like
Crystal Gayle

Come back stage and ask for Harold, Phil, Don or Lou
And we'll see you get auditioned for the Statler
Brothers Review

Playing right now:

"The distance is my heart's descent flowing through the hourglass............For the last time, turn out the lights.....my life, on standby.....So standby and watch this fall away and fall apart..."

Haven't heard this in years, thanks Berlin.

I want to add the signature line "Workin' for the yankee dollar" in my posts

78s to keep on coughing by --

Now playing, it's one of Bing's first Deccas from 1934, as Georgie Stoll and his Orchestra provide accompaniment on an absolutely gorgeous Robin and Rainger tune, "With Every Breath You Take." Crosby and Stoll didn't make too many records together, but they all have a distinctive, jaunty Paramount-pit-band sound. This is my favorite period for Bing -- the tail end of his buh-buh-boo period, and in those years, 1934-35, he could do no wrong.

Next, it's the Casa Loma Orchestra's theme song, "Smoke Rings," but Glen and the boys are nowhere in sight -- as we hear Clyde McCoy and his Orchestra instead. A classy, gimmick-free rendition with not a wah-wah-wah to be found.

You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about a gal like my first ex-wife, you Moan The Blues for me and for you, Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life.

To drown out the sound of my father's infuriating saxophone-playing, I am...

"Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight", courtesy of Bernie Cummins and His Orchestra, who are very kindly transporting me back to 1930, when saxophones sounded awesome, not awful.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (with Sabu on congas) "Sakeena".

As far as I know, the only place to get this on cd is the compilation that my friend
Miles Perlich put together over 10 years ago "Latino Blue (Blue Note Jazz Con Sabor Latino)".
Enjoy

I’ll raise you “Calypso Blues”.

That’s Jack Costanzo on Conga. I had the pleasure of meeting him about ten years ago.


My favorite version is Willie Rosario’s.
Love the Bari sax that comes in at the end.
