    ===================================

    This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 135

    EDDIE HUBBARD & THE BROWSERS: "ONLY FOREVER"

    On this "Browsers" show from March 6, 1999, special guests are Bob Knack
    and Karl Kountz. Among the several outstanding songs in this episode
    perhaps my favorite is Bing Crosby's "Only Forever" from 1940. Close
    behind are the Mills Brothers' "I Heard," Les Brown's "The Whole World
    Is Singing My Song," and Benny Goodman's and Helen Ward's "Goody Goody."
    Other great tunes include "You Gotta See Your Mama Every Night,"
    "Yesterday's Gardinias" with Dick Todd, "Thanks" with Jan Garber, "I
    Never Knew" with Sam Donahue, and Erskine Hawkins' "Song of the Wanderer."

    Eddie adds "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," "One," "Strawberry
    Fields," and "Ticket to Ride" to spare us any commercials, and Phil
    Holdman's "Phooler" recording involves a female vocalist who was known
    especially as a well endowed actress. I expected the Phooler gal to be
    Jane Russell, but I was wrong.

    Examples of several interesting trivia challenges were those involving
    the real first names of Bix Beiderbecke, Count Basie, and Cootie
    Williams; identifying the instruments that the Mills Brothers imitated
    in their recordings; naming Kaye Starr's million sellers; and recalling
    Erskine Hawkins' theme song.

    A bit of additional information is that Beiderbecke's name Bix was a
    popular nickname for Bismark, his father's first name. Bix played with
    Frankie Trumbauer, Jean Goldkette, and Paul Whiteman and is often
    credited with helping to develop "cool" jazz highlighted by a mellow
    virtuosity such as made popular by Miles Davis rather than the crisp and
    boisterous sounds of the "hot" jazz of Louis Armstrong and King Oliver.

    All in all, another fun and informative show by the wonderful big band
    Browsers playing some of America's best music -- music that confirms
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer's observation that "[removed] keep a fountain of
    joy alive in you."

    (Check out Bob Knack's "The Great Escape" online at [removed] which
    celebrates big bands in the tradition of Phil Holdman's "Browser Notes
    Newsletter." And about Phil Holdman: In his and Joe Carlton's The
    Browsers at Large Phil mentions how he was "in heaven" when Erskine
    Hawkins invited him to sit in at drums when the band played in the
    Catskills in 1969 and how "marvelous" it was as the guys often improvised.)

    Subject:  SUMMER'S TIME

    Dear Charlie:

    You can't know the pleasure it gave  me and continues to give that I am
    still a part of you and your daughter's radio  show SUMMER'S TIME.

    I read your letter with great  interest and realized I have not contributed
    any new one-liners or intros to  your show so let me make myself available
    for an  update.

    If you send me some new copy I will get it  back to you promptly and
    perhaps you in return could do me the favor of  informing our
    readers/listeners
    that I have a new  career!

    Yes folks, I am now recording Audiobooks for  Kindle/Amazon and the three
    titles I would like to alert you too for your  download enjoyment are:

    "The Apocalypse Cult," by Alex  Seigel.

    An exciting journey through the eyes of a group of  experts in the arts of
    spying and disbanding a dangerous Cult bent on changing  the world and
    discovering their powers are as nothing compared to the evil cult  leader and
    his
    willing followers.

    "Out of Time, by  Cliff Ball.

        An astonishing and refreshingly new concept of  time travel that seeks
    to change history, right past wrongs and alter the past  for the
    [removed] discovers there's a price.
    A deadly  price.

        [removed] is the place to go and enter those  titles.
        I'm sure you'll enjoy the wild  adventures!!

    So dear fans of FOTR days that's what  I've been up to for the last year or
    so but I have truly missed doing live  shows and hearing your
    [removed] this is what it is for now.

    This too could change.

        Send me some new copy Charlie and maybe I can send  you a chapter or
    two of my new venture, a noir mystery from 1955 New York and  the world of
    Hard-boiled detectives and the treacherous women in their lives  that could be
    a part of your show!

        I'll check with the author for clearance but I  am having a great time
    narrating it.
        I can almost feel the hot humid nights in Manhattan  with skulking
    characters looming and the whiskey bottle running low as the  mystery darkens.

        Almost like being back in  Newark!!!

    Best to you all,

    Michael C Gwynne -
