    X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

    I'm looking for possible recordings of Walt Lochman, a Kansas City-area
    sports broadcaster in the 1930s and early 1940s. He called for the White Sox
    in 1943 which may be the most likely source of any recordings with his work.
    If any digesters have recordings with some of Lochman's work I'd love to get
    a copy for an upcoming presentation.
    Thanks,
    Ryan Ellett

    CLASSICS & CURIOS

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 45

    Eddie Hubbard & the Browsers: "Babyface," "I Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder"

    Known as Four Boys & a Guitar" when they began their career, "The Mills
    Brothers" begin this current Browsers show with "I Can't Give You
    Anything But Love, Baby." They join other performers on this broadcast
    such as Anita O' Day, Dick Powell, Teddy Powell, Eddie Howard, Benny
    Goodman, Dick Rondo, Dick Jurgens, Art Mooney, Joe Sanders, Tony Pastor,
    and Toni Harper with songs like "Midnight in Moscow," "Angel in
    Disguise," "Flamin' Mamie," "Rosalie," "White Silver Sands," "Remember
    When," "You're the Top," "Babyface," "I Telephoned, I Telegraphed," "I
    Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder," and "Who Do You Know in Heaven?" -- Well, I
    know lots of folks in heaven, especially the One who helps make our
    music so wonderful. And while there is lots of music to enjoy on this
    edition of the Browsers, my favorite song this time is probably "You're
    the Top," with joyful music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Porter was
    inspired to include really fun, creative, and clever rhymes, much like
    Johnny Mercer lyrics. In "You're the Top" Porter brings together such
    diverse images as Durante's nose, the feet of Fred Astaire, Whistler's
    mama, Inferno's Dante, a turkey dinner, and a Derby winner. Check out
    all 7 inspired verses online at a source such as [removed]
    Can you name the Broadway show in which "You're the Top" was featured?
    How about songs that have titles about distance communicating, such as
    the telephone tune above? Other trivia questions relate to such things
    as girl groups that sang with Bing Crosby, Kay Kyser at the Blackhawk in
    Chicago, the movie singer of "Rosalie," Xavier Cugat's vocalist Charro,
    Elvis' base player Bill Black, "Is everybody happy?" Ted Lewis, and
    Johnny Desmond on the radio Breakfast Club. The closing song for this
    Browsers broadcast is "Hill Street Blues." Sadly, of course, Eddie's
    website is no longer available, but if you wish to send a brief positive
    message to his widow Lil, I can forward it to her. Just click on my
    e-mail address here on Jerry's website or, if you wish later on, just go
    to my website at [removed] (also here on Jerry's site)
    where my e-mail address is also accessible. And, of course, constructive
    comments are always welcome. As we go to the Browsers, I recall that
    Edna St. Vincent Millay once observed, "Beauty is whatever gives you
    joy." Truly then big band music is a thing of beauty and, as we have
    shared before, gives us one of God's most precious joys. So with more of
    the beauty and joy of good music, here are the Browsers.

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

    Make Believe Ballroom Time

    Episode 5

    In December 1946 Tommy Dorsey was one of eight big band leaders who shut
    down their bands for good. They believed the big band era had come to a
    close. Two tears later, Tommy Dorsey began a come-back aimed at "the
    kids of America who deserved a chance to dance to the big bands again".
    This program starts with the Dorsey band of 1946 with Tommy broadcasting
    from Los Angeles with his special [removed] Ellington. The program
    goes on to 1953 with the Dorsey band "alive and well" in New York City
    broadcasting from The Stattler Hotel on NBC. You'll find all this with
    facts about Tommy and stats about the year [removed] you know the
    microwave oven was introduced at that time? Check us out on " It's Make
    Believe Ballroom Time"

    I read Charlie's request for information about the series, Court of
    Human Relations, earlier this month and saw Paul Thompson's comments
    this morning in Digest #149. After checking, I discovered I have a
    single episode of the series in my collection. My apologies for not
    checking earlier.

    If anyone else is interested in the series, I've placed a copy on the
    web that can be downloaded using the link below.

    Again, my apologies for the delay in responding to Charlie's request.

    Subject:  Re: Racism in the forties

    After reading R. R. King's observation about Norman Corwin's unwitting
    support of racism and the "Sounding Out!" article that King links to, I am
    reminded of the sixth episode in the late nineties' "Remember WENN" series,
    now available on DVD. The late Howard Rollins plays Lord Branley on "The
    Hands of Time" when actor Mackie loses his voice and Rollins, a waiter from
    the next-door Buttery, fills in for him at the last moment. But when the
    owner of this unfamiliar voice becomes a mystery man to WENN's radio
    listeners, all sorts of tricks are used to keep Rollins from being
    recognized by a visiting columnist who would otherwise expose Rollins' race
    in contrast to the bigoted racial mores of the day. There are several
    poignant moments in this program, including a rehearsal between Jeff and
    Rollins for an Amos and Andy clone called "The Fife and Dime Show" in which
    Jeff (Hugh O'Gorman) is suddenly embarrassed to take part in a program that
    makes racial stereotypes of black people -- an emotion that he probably
    wouldn't have experienced playing opposite a white actor.

    Jan Bach

    P. S. I've been with this newsgroup for over twenty years and every so often
    this subject of racism comes up in discussing the programs of radio's golden
    age. But the past is the past and cannot be changed; the best we can do
    today is to fight the attitudes of prejudice and discrimination that, I'm
    afraid, are still very much with us.
