What are you listening to?

[LizzieMaine]

78s to count empty pop bottles by --

First up, Noel Coward in 1940, with his jaunty ode to the brave dads of the Home Guard, "Could You Please Oblige Us With a Bren Gun?"

Coming next, Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra in 1934 with vocals by Ken Darby and Ramona on "A Picture of Me Without You," one of Cole Porter's lesser-known "list songs." "Picture Barbara Hutton without a nickel, picture poor Mr. Heinz, my dear, without a pickle! Picture Ogden Nash without a rhyme, picture Mr. Bulova without the time!" And so on and on.

Dick Powell and Al Bowlly are what I'm digging now. Heck, I always dig them! They are two of my most favourite singers.

The Ink Spots - "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire".

Great Ink Spots number. Which reminds me, I think my Ink Spots CD is under my car seat somewhere.

For the last couple of days, it's been Beverly Kenney. Most recently: Swingin' on a Star

I want to marry that woman's voice. It just makes me melt, no matter what the song is. She could read the directions off the backs of shampoo bottles to me and I'll be in heaven. [angel]
