    This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

    Episode 194

    "TURN YOUR RADIO ON" FOR A CLASSICS & CURIOS BIG BAND THANKSGIVING!

    Welcome again to a traditional Classics & Curios Big Band Thanksgiving
    special, slightly edited from our Archives. If you're thankful for great
    Big Band recordings from all the way back to 1929, this is a show for
    you. Andy Griffith begins the show by asking you to "Turn Your Radio On"
    as we "tune" into God, the generous Giver of our blessings. We'll begin
    by jumping back to the 1940's as we listen to Evelyn Knight and the
    Stardusters perform "Powder Your Face with Sunshine." This recording was
    on "Your Hit Parade" for 15 weeks in 1948-1949, 2 weeks at number 1.
    Evelyn had a bunch of top 40 hits and was a pioneer in early TV,
    appearing on shows such as "The Ed Sullivan Show," "The Colgate Comedy
    Hour," and "Abbott and Costello."

    Peggy Lee blessed us with many songs, including one back in 1947 with
    the title "It's a Good Day." This is a song that will pick up your
    spirits and inspire you to sing right along with Peggy, who incidentally
    wrote the lyrics. Not surprisingly it was on "Your Hit Parade" for 11
    weeks. Peggy hit the big time with Benny Goodman, taking Helen Forrest's
    place in 1941. Her first million seller was "Why Don't You Do Right" in
    1943, and she went on to have top 10 hits in 3 consecutive decades. She
    had success on radio (for example, "Chesterfield Supper Club" and "Jimmy
    Durante Show"), wrote several song hits, and even mentored artists such
    as Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra in the art of jazz singing.

    Another feel good tune takes us into the snow season and gets us looking
    not only at Thanksgiving but also toward Christmas. One of my favorite
    bands had a really great instrumental version of it: Les Brown's 1946
    recording of Irving Berlin's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," and Les
    sent the tune on a "Hit Parade" sleigh ride serenade for 7 weeks. It
    first appeared in the film "On the Avenue" with Dick Powell and Alice
    Faye and was recorded first by the Mills Brothers in 1938. Later Les and
    his band of renown performed the song on the Bob Hope's Show, and the
    reaction was so great that Les' recording company, Columbia, asked him
    to record it. His response was to tell Columbia to check its vault of
    recordings because it was already there and had never been released. The
    Lloyd "Skip" Martin arrangement made it a true classic, and the song was
    one of the last great big band instrumental hits. Later in 1949-1950 the
    amazing Mills Brothers put the song back on "Your Hit Parade" for 11
    more weeks.

    The Mills Brothers give us cause to give thanks for their countless
    hits, many radio performances, and films. We hear them get softly
    sentimental with a tune called "Put Another Chair at the Table." A loved
    one coming home is a special heartfelt blessing, and the Mills Brothers
    make the most of it, first, as a ballad and, then, in their upbeat
    swing-touched style making us feel the joy of anticipation of reunited
    loved ones, as when soldiers return home from war. No group could sing
    better, ever!

    Fred Waring was known as "the man who taught America how to sing" and
    "America's singing master." President Reagan appropriately awarded him
    the "Congressional Gold Medal" for his musical contributions to American
    society. His Fred Waring Banjo Orchestra in the 1920's eventually became
    Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians. His band performed "You Gotta Be a
    Football Hero" on radio in 1933 to great acclaim, and he went on to sell
    millions of records in the 1940's and 1950's. I especially enjoy his
    early band recordings, and also his popular later choral works like "The
    Battle Hymn of the Republic." One of my Mother's favorite songs was one
    that she would often hum in the kitchen, and to her it told of her deep
    love for her family. That beautiful song: "I'll Always Be in Love with
    You." She first heard Fred Waring performing it on his 1929 recording.
    Now she sings it in the Lord's heavenly choir, and the message is still
    true.

    As the great English author Thomas Carlyle said, "Music is well said to
    be the speech of angels." So it follows that through good music angels
    often remind us of precious past blessings and anticipate future
    blessings together. Appropriately Andy Griffith sings "Precious
    Memories" to end our show as we briefly celebrate Thanksgivings past and
    present with some of God's blessings in music. My Thanksgiving wish for
    you, in the words of a Meredith Willson song title, is: "May the Good
    Lord Bless and Keep You."

    On a personal note, I am especially thankful for our Lord and Savior
    Jesus Christ who enables us to sing and soar in His glory, grace, love,
    joy, and eternal hope. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And please pray in the name
    of the Lord for Paris and the USA! .

    Subject:  Gold Dust Twins

    MWOTRC has been contacted by Franklin R. Hughes, a multi-media specialist
    with the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University, Big Rapids, MI.  Hughes
    is seeking any surviving audio material from the radio shows of "The Gold
    Dust Twins", a musical program of two white men ( Harvey Hindemyer & Earle
    Tuckerman) portraying African Americans as "Goldy" and "Dusty."

    Jay Hickerson's compendium does not reflect that any audio copies have
    survived, but it lists the show in two different periods, on WEAF in the late
    20s and on CBS in the early 30s, both sponsored by Gold Dust (scouring)
    Powder.

    Ryan Ellett's excellent "Encyclopedia of Black Radio in the [removed]" lists a
    possible related series, "Dinah and Dora", a comedy show over WEAF in the
    1930's. The title leads were played by two African American women (Ann
    Freeman & Artie Bell McGinty) and their boy friends were portrayed by
    "Goldy" and "Dusty".

    Digesters with any clues to help Mr. Hughes, please forward to me.

    Much obliged,

    Attached is my short description of the old radio show tapes.

    Many years ago a Navy Captain brought home several transcription discs of
    radio shows that were used to entertain the troupes during World War ll.
    Sometime in the 1970's they were transcribed onto reel to reel and then onto
    cassette tapes.  The discs themselves have found a home on the battleship New
    Jersey moored in Camden, along with many other articles donated by the
    Captain's family.  I make no claim as to the quality of these tapes since so
    much time has passed and today I attempted to play one and the tape broke!  I
    am wondering if there is anyone who would like to peruse these tapes of
    1940's radio shows.  I would be happy to box them up and ship them along with
    notes taken when they were transcribed.  I only ask for the price of
    shipping, media rate, to be determined at the time of shipping.
