TVC 682.4: Burt Kearns, author of SHEMP! The Biography of The Three Stooges' Shemp Howard: The Face of Film Comedy, talks to Ed and guest co-host Chuck Harter about some of the more notable roles in Shemp Howard's diverse career as a solo actor, including Private Buckaroo (1942), a musical comedy featuring Harry James, The Andrews Sisters, and Mary Wickes that Burt says is as close to a star vehicle that Shemp ever had; why Shemp rejoined The Stooges in 1946, after Curly's debilitating stroke; and why rejoining the Stooges gave Shemp an immortality that he may not have achieved had he remained on his own.

The 1937 Flood Watch Podcast

We remember the night Joe Dobbs wandered into The Flood band room a couple of decades ago and said, “Hey, do you know the song ‘Satin Doll'?”Boy, was he asking the right guy. Charlie Bowen grew up in a home full of his dad's jazz records by Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington and Count Basie and his mom's Harry James and The Mills Brothers.In BowenWorld, “Satin Doll” was as much a part of the household soundtrack as anything on the radio right then.Joe didn't really know any of the tune's honored status in the jazz world. However, he was tickled by a folksy jazz rendition of it that was recorded live by fiddler Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman in 1981 and he was ready to tackle it himself.With that, the tune trotted into The Flood repertoire. Click the button below to transport back to 2011 and hear Joe with Flood Lite (Doug Chaffin on bass, Charlie on guitar) sampling the song at the start of a jam session at the Bowen House.About the SongIn 1953, Duke Ellington interrupted his long-time association with Columbia Records to sign with Capitol, thinking the upstart recording company might more effectively promote his music.Among the tunes waxed in the first Capitol session that spring was “Satin Doll,” a song Ellington had just written with his favorite collaborator, Billy Strayhorn. Duke wrote the riff sketch and Strayhorn fleshed it out with harmony and lyrics.Billy's lyrics, though, were not were not considered commercially viable, so Duke's 1953 recording was an instrumental. It was five years later when lyricist Johnny Mercer — a Capitol Records cofounder — wrote sassy new words that resulted in the song we know today.But Who WAS the Satin Doll?Strayhorn biographer David Hajdu famously advanced the notion that Billy named the song after his mother, Lillian, saying that the composer's pet name for his mom was “Satin Doll.”That's a charming story, but the Ellington family has a different take on the tale. Duke's son Mercer wrote in his 1978 memoir that he suspected the mystery woman was his dad's long-time companion, Beatrice “Evie” Ellis.Writing in Duke Ellington In Person: An Intimate Memoir, Mercer said Evie continued to believe the song was written for her. “Pop would always be leaving notes in the house addressing her affectionately as ‘Dearest Doll,' ‘Darling Doll' and so on.”Today's Flood Take on the Tune“Satin Doll” lately has started visiting the Flood band room again. It was the first tune of the evening at last week's rehearsal. Listen as Randy, Jack and Charlie start outlining the tune, laying down the rhythm and those cool chords while Danny is still setting up.You'll hear Charlie sing the first verse. By the second verse in comes Dan's beautiful guitar. In a minute, he's in full gear, and then he's soloing on two idea-filled choruses that define the entire outing.Got That SwingFinally, if you'd like to put a little more swing in your Friday thing, remember that the free Radio Floodango music streaming feature's gotcha cover.

Here's an album I thought was going to be unplayable when I saw the condition of the cover. I have no idea why the back and front are completely separated. And the bigger surprise is that my dad didn't put it back together with his usual black electrical tape patchwork. But I'm glad I didn't overlook it because of the condition of the cover when I listened to the music it wasn't covering very well. This was some great jazz that I didn't mind listening to several times while I was deciding on the songs for this episode.

If your mom (or your grandma or maybe great-grandmother) was a Bobby-soxer in the 1940s, she probably danced to this tune. Sociologists call the bunch born in the 1930s “The Silent Generation” — a term first used in a 1951 Time magazine story to describe their alleged cautious and passive nature — but, well, seriously? Anyone who ever saw them dance didn't think they were all that darn docile. After all, these “Silents” are the same folks who gave us the jitterbug, not to mention setting the stage for early rock ‘n' roll.About This SongAs reported here previously, Sy Oliver's composition “Opus One” was a hit on the radio for Tommy Dorsey in late 1944, but it was an even bigger smash a year later. That's when singer Anita O'Day recorded it with a rocking band fronted by drummer Gene Krupa and featuring legendary trumpeter Roy Eldridge.The song has gone on to be covered many times over the years, from versions by Harry James to those of The Mills Brothers and The Four Freshmen. For more on the song's history — including the story of those sassy lyrics added by Sid Garris — check out this earlier Flood Watch article.Meanwhile, here in The Flood Zone, the song is a perfect warmup for an evening of fun at the weekly rehearsal, offering solo space for everyone in the room.About the VideoThe sound in this video is audio from last week's rehearsal. Meanwhile, for the film footage thanks go out to Douglas K. Morris and Shane Finster of Armstrong Cable.As reported earlier, Doug and Shane dropped into a Flood rehearsal last summer to record an episode of their award-winning Armstrong Neighborhood Channel's Press Room Recordings series. It was a treat to revisit the video from that night to enhance this week's winter evening film.More Swing Tunes?Finally, if you'd like a little more from the “Swing” column on The Flood's menu, the free Radio Floodango music streaming feature has a channel just for you.Click here for a randomized playlist of swing tunes from over the band's decades.

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future…and it's tickin' tickin' tickin', too. Steve Miller certainly summed it up and our theme this week is all about the passing of time, events that take place in time, biding our time, and recalling a time. We'll be making a swing through a number of genres and performers including Little Joe, Booker T., Bobby Bare, Evie Sands, Tom Waits and Harry James. But there's plenty more including classic country, mid-to-late century rock n' roll, folkie business, and the sweet torch songs that take us back. We've chosen to forego the Christmas celebrations because, for the most part, we can hear it elsewhere and the season is a short one with some desperation on the doorstep.

El amor de Dios nos persigue. Es Su Gracia, la que con Su bendita terquedad no nos da tregua. Tenemos esa confianza por las palabras de Jesús en este sexto capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan. El poema "El lebrel o sabueso del Cielo" lo escribió en a finales del siglo XIX, Francis Thompson. Es la historia de cómo un joven abandona su vida acomodada para caer en la adicción en un sórdido Londres, donde encuentra al final a Dios en los brazos de una prostituta, atrapado por una Gracia irresistible. Tras la sintonía de Ruta 66 por la orquesta del trompetista Harry James, escuchamos la actualización del poema de "Hound of Heaven" que hizo uno de los grupos más extraños que salieron de la Revolución por Jesús. Daniel Amos, formado por Terry Scott Taylor en 1974, no encajaba en la edulcorada etiqueta de música de alabanza que había creado la Capilla Calvario, Maranatha. Años después de grabar su "Disco horrendo", logran publicar en 1981 su versión de la historia de Thompson en el Hollywood de los 70 con el sello que hace Larry Norman. Otro músico que no se amolda a la incipiente industria de la "música cristiana contemporánea" fue el tempranamente fallecido Mark Heard, muerto a los 40 años de un ataque al corazón. Tras estudiar periodismo en Georgia, se va a la comunidad suiza de L´Abri con Francis Schaeffer y al volver, publica su primer disco con el sello de Larry Norman, Solid Rock. Su canción "Corazón de corazones" (Heart of Heart)" la popularizó, sin embargo, Sam Phillips en 1983, cuando todavía utilizaba el nombre de Leslie, antes de casarse con T-Bone Burnett. "Como un vendaval con toda su fuerza / fui levantado de nuevo por el Señor", canta Van Morrison en 1979. En su canción "Full Force Gale" vuelve a la experiencia que tuvo cuando iba a la Asamblea de Hermanos que había abajo de su calle en Belfast, confiando de que "encontrará el camino de regreso a casa / siempre volverá al Señor". La película "Minari" (2020) da un cuadro de la fe tan honesto y verosímil, que sólo puede haber sido hecho por un cristiano, como es el joven cineasta coreano-americano Lee Isaac Chung. Premiado con el Oscar a la mejor actriz de reparto, cuenta la llegada de su familia a la América profunda en los años 80. El asombro de la Gracia de esta historia contrasta con la débil fe de sus protagonistas. Escuchamos escenas de la versión doblada con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora de Emile Mosseri. "Puedes escuchar la llamada de Dios", canta Neil Diamond en la canción que popularizó Elvis Presley a finales de los 60 (And The Grass Won´t Pay No Mind). Su iniciativa da la seguridad a Mike Scott de los Waterboys, por la que puede descansar en sus "Brazos eternos" (Everlasting Arms) en 1996.

Momentum is a critical factor for the London office market, and although external obstacles have been placed in its way there is a sense the handbrake is about to come off, according to Harry James, associate director at office specialist The Workplace Co. James was London's top office dealmaker in June, leading the Radius Rankings with 8 deals totalling 7,969 sq ft of space. He oversaw transactions in the West End, City, City Fringe and the Southern Fringe.

It was first recorded on February 26, 1926, by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five, and became the group's most frequently recorded piece. It was paired on the flip side with another one of Armstrong's hits, "Heebie Jeebies." It was a prominent part of the Dixieland revival repertoire in the 1930s and 1940s, and was recorded by Bob Crosby, Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, Muggsy Spanier, Chet Atkins, Lu Watters, the Andrews Sisters, Harry James, and Al Hirt, among others. It is considered a part of the jazz standard repertoire.Without Ory's consent, lyrics were written for the instrumental tune in 1950 by Ray Gilbert. After Gilbert protested that he was entitled to share credit with Ory, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers awarded him one-third credit on all performances of "Muskrat Ramble", vocal and instrumental.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:06 UTC on Wednesday, 12 June 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Muskrat Ramble on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Arthur Neural.

"I am a longtime fan of Glenn Miller and the big band era.""We are excited and pleased to present alongside Hindsight Records our new recording celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band," shares Charles De Stefano, CEO of Glenn Miller Productions, Inc. "We are equally thrilled to have the wonderful Crystal Gayle join the Glenn Miller Orchestra on our recording of the great classic “Sentimental Journey.” We hope Glenn Miller Orchestra fans and Crystal's fans around the world enjoy this new dynamic recording."Between 1939 and 1942, Glenn Miller led The Glenn Miller Orchestra, which became one of the most recognized names globally during the “Swing” era. Boasting an unmatched series of chart-topping records, The Glenn Miller Orchestra surpassed the sales of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, Tommy Dorsey, and Harry James combined. Throughout three and a half years, Miller produced 16 chart-toppers and 72 top-ten hits, including a remarkable 31 in 1940 alone and earning the first-ever gold record for “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” Miller's music not only defined the era of World War II but has endured as a timeless soundtrack, with bands carrying his legacy performing to enthusiastic crowds over the 80 years since his passing. Today, under the direction of Erik Stabnau, the current Glenn Miller Orchestra maintains a rigorous schedule, standing as one of the few full-time big bands still thriving in the contemporary music scene."Crystal Gayle and The Glenn Miller Orchestra are a natural together on "Sentimental Journey" - a trip back in time to revisit the sounds of the 1940s and the perfect introduction to The Glenn Miller Orchestra: 80th Anniversary Of The Army Air Force Band." - Erik Stabnau - Music Director for The Glenn Miller OrchestraTo purchase/stream, visit CGayleGlennMillerOrch.lnk.to/SentimentalJourneySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/georgia-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Happy New Year to everyone as we welcome in the New Year. On the show today is a repeat of program I produced in 2016 called New Year's Radio Dance Party 1945-1946. The Armed Forces Radio Service gave a real treat to American troops still stationed around the world in the aftermath of World War II---live performances, by remote hookups from their respective New Year's Eve hotel and/or ballroom performances. We'll get to hear some of the titans of the time in American jazz and popular music. Including but not limited to Harry James, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Dorsey, Artie Shaw (with guest Roy Eldridge), Stan Kenton, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and---of course!---Guy Lombardo. It was a gift to our troops then and it's a perfect gift for our troops---and New Year's Eve shut-ins---today. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

This week, I'm going to be playing the second record in the three record set that features many hits from the Columbia record label. When I was a youngster, my dad bought a three record set called The Big Bands. In it were songs that went along with a book by George T. Simon. Each record was devoted to a particular record label. The three labels were Decca, Columbia, and RCA Bluebird. It was a nice set with a lot of the hits from the big band era. We'll be hearing from Harry James, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and many others. I hope you enjoy all the bands this week that were part of the Columbia family.
