    This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 136

    "A DATE WITH PEGGY LEE" & "LISTEN TO A LOVE SONG" WITH TONY MARTIN

    First on this episode we play a "Date with Peggy Lee," and then we get
    to "Listen to a Love Song" (actually several) with Tony Martin, from
    July 7, 1951, and July 13, 1946, respectively. Judy's guest is her
    former big band "boss" Benny Goodman. Any day that we get to hear Peggy
    is a good day, and that's the name of her opening tune and hit recording
    "It's a Good Day." Her closing song is "Where or When," and in between
    comes a casual and professionally paced program with smooth
    introductions by Peggy followed by songs accompanied by the Russ Case
    orchestra. Among Peggy's song highlights are "If I Could Be with You"
    and "Too Young."

    Benny performs a new recording just released in 1951 with the title
    "Toodle-Lee-Yoo-Doo." But the show's highlight is a complete rendition
    of Benny's closing theme song "Good-Bye," which we rarely seem to hear
    all the way through on his own programs and remotes. Gordon Jenkins
    composed it in 1935, and critic Leonard Feather noted that it was among
    his "top ten songs it would be hardest to tire of hearing."

    Another musical show on this episode is Tony Martin's "Listen to a Love
    Song," and Tony truly rewards listeners with love songs as they should
    be sung, just as he did in movie musicals in the 1930's to the 1950's.
    After Tony's opening theme "You Stepped Out of a Dream" his highlights
    are "Who Cares?" "September Song," and "The Gypsy." Georgia Gibbs teams
    with Tony on the show and does a great "I've Got the Sun in the Morning
    and the Moon at Night" and "More Than You Know." Albert Sack and his
    orchestra do a nice instrumental of Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies," and
    The Little Sisters and Chorus provide fine backup.

    This show has some rather "cutesy" introductions, in contrast to the
    more simple, straightforward introductions on Peggy's show. Tony closes
    fittingly with another "dream" song: "I'll See You in My Dreams."
    Audiences indeed knew "Where or When,' they would hear Peggy again and
    be part of Tony's radio dreams on their weekly shows on CBS when radio
    was golden.

    It was truly a golden memory for me to attend Tony's concert in Nebraska
    in the 1950's while I was still a high school kid who thought he could
    "out croon" Tony, Bing, Perry, and Frank. The world never knew!

    Subject:  Next Week on The Bob Edwards Show

    Folks;

       For those of you who read my blog, you know I drove to [removed] on Monday to
    spend some time with the staff and host of The Bob Edwards Show at SiriusXM.
    There is even a photograph of the final board, where the upcoming shows are
    tracked from pitch to completion.

       On the blog, I have pixilated the last two weeks, believing that it should
    be up to the show to announce the guests for those weeks. But I'm breaking
    that rule to tell you that next Thursday, September 18th, the show will
    re-broadcast Bob's conversation with Norman Corwin, originally broadcast in
    July of 2005.

       If you aren't paying for SiriusXM, you can get a free 30-day demo account
    to their on-line stream at [removed]  And if you
    already had a free trial (they track email addresses) and would like to
    listen, drop me a private [removed] can set up a unique forwarding email
    account on this server for you to use to register and listen to the show.

             Charlie
