Some 40 years later she was invited to cut the tune again with trombonist Steve Turre on his self-titled album.

I love the Sunday night radio programs of old. You are guaranteed to hear Vera every day at 8 AM Eastern. I'll always be in love with you...KHR!

78s to run my finger thru the sewing machine by --

Now playing, it's 1945 with Hope and Crosby and a bit of foolishness from "Road To Utopia," "Put It There Pal." This tune contains what may be the greatest song lyric of the 1940s -- "There's something in your voice that's just so right for selling cheese." Pure Velveeta, it is.

Next, following a commercial for Pall Mall cigarettes -- it's Modern Design that makes the difference --back to 1935 with Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra, and a fine Edythe Wright vocal on "Now You've Got Me Doing It." It's their first session together, but Tommy was a fast worker.

78s to eat Girl Scout Cookies for breakfast by --

Starting off in 1929 with George Olsen and his Music, with Borger, Wright, and Frey trioing up for the vocal on "Doin' The Raccoon." Hard to believe this was the generation of college boys who'd go on to put man on the moon.

Next, ahead to 1936 and Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon, those US expats living large in London, and an absolutely gorgeous treatment of "There's A Small Hotel." One of the best performances on record of one of the best songs of the decade.

78s to figure out if the checks will clear before my next payday by --

First off, it's 1937 with Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra, and Ivie Anderson taking the vocal for "Oh Babe, Maybe Someday." A notable peculiarity of this record is that it begins with Miss Anderson giving out with a singing song title before the first instrumental chorus. Don't tell me Irving Mills was a Kay Kyser fan.

Next, a treat from 1936 by Milton Brown and his Brownies, the seminal Western Swing outfit, and a rollicking "Mama Don't Allow," with hot solos on banjo, fiddle, steel guitar, piano, and slap bass. Clearly, Mama's efforts to maintain discipline have completely collapsed.

 

[MissECP]

Benny Goodman, perfect on a sunny day like today.
Jungle blues, Room 1411 (goin to town) playing next.

78s to chip soap by ---

Starting off in 1937 with one of the more musical novelty bands of the day, Freddie Fisher and his Orchestra, and "I'm A Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas." Imagine Kay Kyser crossed with Spike Jones, and you've got these guys - not quite as wacky as when they called themselves the "Schnickelfritzers," but a surprisingly high standard of musicianship.

Next, a dandy British side from 1930, with Harry Bidgood and the Riverside Dance Orchestra offering a great tune from Paul Whiteman's "King Of Jazz," "I Like To Do Things For You." A very unctuous vocal trio offers completely different lyrics from the American version, followed by what sounds like a snappy solo either by a spoon player or a guy slapping his thighs. There'll always be an England.

Bob Wills

You know, lately I've been listening to a lot of Bob Wills.

Good stuff, not your typical golden era music, but I really like it (being from TX and all).
