    CLASSICS & CURIOS

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 39

    THE BROWSERS: "I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT" (with) "A DING DONG DADDY
    FROM DUMAS"

    Once again it's the "Ding Dong Daddy" Browsers from their "Whine Cellar"
    where you can hear great music and match wits with big band experts.
    This show has a super lineup of performers and recordings from "A" for
    Andrews to "S" for Sinatra, as the Andrews Sisters sing "Hold Tight,"
    and Frank Sinatra croons "The Coffee Song." In between Julie Andrews
    performs "I Could Have Danced All Night," and swinging across the stage
    comes "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas." More tunes and artists include
    "Ain't She Sweet" from Harry James, "Paper Doll" from the Mills
    Brothers," 1939's "All the Things You Are" from Helen Forrest and Artie
    Shaw, and "Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me" from Benny Goodman. Also
    showcased are Tommy Dorsey's classic "Marie," Vic Damone's "If I Loved
    You," and tunes like "Wang Wang Blues," "Stormy Weather," and "Japanese
    Sandman," which closes the show. Big band trivia questions that might
    stump you include, "What recording did the Andrews Sisters cut with Al
    Jolsson?" Maybe you know what drummer "glitsch" got recorded on a Glenn
    Miller tune and the name of the song. Or maybe you recall which famous
    band leader would not allow a "ghost" band to carry on. And an unlikely
    stumper: "Name several tunes with the initial letter "M" in the title as
    in Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade!" All in all, more great and
    joyful music from the Browsers. And as we tune in this show, I think of
    a poetic plea from Edgar Guest that directs us to pursue positive songs
    of joy that reflect choices of hope and heaven. Guest wrote, "Songs of
    rejoicin' ... O sing them again ... of hope in the future, of heaven the
    goal ... songs of rejoicin' that strengthen the soul." Just Folks

    Thanks once more to Jerry Haendiges Productions for adapting the
    original studio tape for highest quality rebroadcast.
    ====================================

    Make Believe Ballroom Time

    Episode 3

    It's Make Believe Ballroom Time is in Chicago for this episode. We are
    telling the story of Cleo Brown, stride pianist and vocalist, who had a
    very limited recording history but a wonderful lifetime of music
    performances. She reached National acclaim. Then were telling the story
    of the United States in the mid-1930's with facts and statistics. Later
    we pass on the history of the Trianon Ballroom in Chicago and listen to
    the Ted Weems Orchestra broadcasting live from there with his great
    vocalist Perry Como and his whistler Elmo Tanner. Another remote
    broadcast of the Dich Jergends Orchestra.
