    Episode 187

    EDDIE HUBBARD & GREAT AMERICAN SONGWRITERS: IRVING BERLIN

    Eddie Hubbard's series on Great American Songwriters continues with a
    tribute to Irving Berlin. Eddie plays some of Berlin's great hits like
    "The Girl That I Marry," "Always," "Remember," "Easter Parade,"
    "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "There's No Business Like Show Business,"
    "How Deep Is the Ocean," and "Say It with Music." Artists include Frank
    Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Tony Martin and Fran Warren, Howard Keel, jazz
    pianist Lou Stein, Ethyl Merman, and Eydie Gorme.

    Eddie plays the recordings of Al Jolson singing "I'm Happy," during a
    tribute event in Berlin's honor and of Irving explaining how he first
    wrote a song called "Smile and Show Your Dimple" that he turned into
    "Easter Parade," Poignant is his first ballad "When I Lost You,' which
    Berlin wrote after his first wife Dorothy passed away shortly after
    their honeymoon. And Eddie adds a tune that Berlin referred to as one of
    his own top ten songs, "Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me."

    Throughout the show Eddie plays background music featuring Berlin's
    "Together," and the tribute concludes with "The Song Is Ended, But the
    Melody Lingers On," which speaks of Berlin's legacy of songs that
    undoubtedly will linger forever in the Great American Songbook. Who
    could forget songs that could have extended Eddie's show easily for
    another hour, such as "White Christmas," "Puttin' On the Ritz," ""Blue
    Skies," "God Bless America," "Cheek to Cheek," "I've Got the Sun in the
    Morning and the Moon at Night," "it's a Lovely Day Today," and "A Pretty
    Girl Is Like a Melody."

    Berlin often pointed out that he wrote far more songs that did not
    become hits, such as "I've Got to Go Back to Texas" and "Jake, Jake, the
    Yidissher Ball Player." But, as "NY Times" reporter Marilyn Berger
    observed in Berlin's obituary in 1989, "According to Ascap records, 25
    Berlin songs reached the top of the charts. By the time he was 30 he was
    a legend, and he went on to write the scores for 19 Broadway shows and
    18 Hollywood films.

    "Throughout his long life in the world of music he never learned to play
    in any key but F sharp, but he could tap out tune after tune on the keys
    of a piano, leaving it to arrangers to write the harmony and to
    transcribe his melodies. His songs were by turn romantic and tragic,
    feisty and sentimental, homespun and sophisticated.

    `''I really can't read music,' Mr. Berlin once said. 'Oh, I can pick out
    the melody of a song with one finger, but I can't read the harmony. I
    feel like an awful dope that I know so little about the mechanics of my
    trade.' To overcome his inability to play in any key but F sharp, he
    used a specially built piano that had a hand clutch to change keys. He
    called it his ''Buick'' and for years he took it with him on trips to
    Europe. It is now in the Smithsonian Institution.

    "''My ambition is to reach the heart of the average American ... Not the
    highbrow nor the lowbrow but that vast intermediate crew which is the
    real soul of the country. The highbrow is likely to be superficial,
    overtrained, supersensitive ... My public is the real people.'"

    "Morton Gould, the president of Ascap, said ...'Irving Berlin's music will
    last forever,' he said. `'Not for just an hour, not for just a day, not
    for just a year, but always.'"

    Subject:  Reminder: Special SummersTime This Week!

    Folks;

       A reminder that my interview with Radio Hall of Famer Bob Edwards is
    running on this week's SummersTime; first air is Monday September 28th at
    6:00 PM in the East, 3:00 PM in the West on Radio Once More with replays
    throughout the week - see [removed] for showtimes and how to
    listen.

       A portion of our conversation ran on public radio's Bob Edwards Weekend
    this past weekend, and is scheduled to air on satellite radio's final Bob
    Edwards Show this Wednesday (along with my personal "theme song" written and
    performed by Jill Sobule); but the SummersTIme version has a few more
    questions and answers, and also includes clips from some of Edwards (and my)
    favorite guests from the past eleven years.

       You can find a few of my comments about the interview on the Nostalgic
    Rumblings blog at [removed] along with archived episodes of
    SummersTime, the OTR show I co-host with my daughter Katie.

             Charlie
