Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dean ZuccheroHailing originally from the streets of East Village, New York City, Zucchero cut his teeth in the bustling, industry-driven Manhattan music scene where songwriting and studio recording chops have long since been revered and rewarded. Cultivating these traits in the city's local dive-bar and cabaret music incubators such as CBGBs, The Bitter End, Dan Lynch Blues Bar, The Bottom Line and Manny's Carwash, with rock act Major Domo as well as local blues heroes Michael Powers, Popa Chubby, Sweet Georgia Brown and Frankie Paris, to name a few, Zucchero's consequent appreciation for melody, lyrical craftsmanship, arrangement, improv and an overall connection with urban multiculturalism finds deep prominence in his record. http://www.makingascene.org

Register now for a Minority Business Expo in Ranson. And the WV SBDC wants to help you achieve your dream of becoming a small business owner…on today's daily304. #1 – From MERCER COUNTY CVB –  As we honor Black History Month, it's important to recognize the significant contributions of African Americans to our cultural heritage. In the vibrant town of Bluefield lies a rich musical legacy that has left an enduring mark on the world stage. At the center of this stands Maceo Pinkard, a native whose impact on music reverberates through the decades. Born in Bluefield, West Virginia, in 1897, Maceo Pinkard was a pioneering songwriter whose journey began at the Bluefield Colored Institute. A prolific songwriter, he went on to form a music publishing firm in New York City. Pinkard's impact on music was profound and far-reaching. He composed iconic tunes such as “Them There Eyes,” which was famously popularized by the legendary Billie Holiday.  However, it was perhaps his collaboration with bandleader Ben Bernie and lyricist Ken Casey that cemented his place in history. Together, they created the timeless classic “Sweet Georgia Brown,” a song that would become synonymous with the Harlem Globetrotters and be recorded by an impressive list of artists spanning generations.

Our musical guests for this Host Week, the South High Community Band of Minneapolis!

 “Sweet Georgia Brown” entered The Flood's repertoire soon after the band began in the 1970s and in the ensuing decades the tune has come back into the playlist again and again, serving as a sweet showcase for dozens of Flood soloists over the years. This latest rendition, recorded at a rehearsal just last week, has Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton, Sam St. Clair and Jack Nuckols all taking the tune for a spin.

If you were sitting around thinking of songs connected to The Mountain State, “Sweet Georgia Brown” probably wouldn't be on your list.It wasn't on ours either, even though we had loved and played the song for decades. But then about a dozen years ago, the late Dave Peyton dropped some song news on us at a jam session. “Hey, man,” we remember him saying with a big grin, “it's a West Virginia tune!”Of course, Brother Dave was absolutely right. Composer Maceo Pinkard, who went on to become one of the greatest composers in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s, was born in Bluefield, W.Va., where he got his education. While Pinkard wrote hundreds of tunes, including many for stage and screen, this 1925 jazz standard was his greatest one. Yes, she might have been a sweet Georgia peach, she had West Virginia roots.Bluefield BoyhoodSon of a West Virginia coal miner, Pinkard was educated at the Bluefield Colored Institute, class of 1913, and wrote his first major song — called “I'm Goin' Back Home” — the following year. (Today Bluefield State University holds a week-long festival each year in honor of its famous alumnus.)Pinkard had already formed his own orchestra and toured throughout the United States as conductor. In 1914 — at age 17 — Pinkard founded a theatrical agency in Omaha, Nebraska. Three years later found him in New York City creating Maceo Pinkard Music to sell compositions to national publishing companies.In the decade beginning in 1921, Pinkard produced a rich catalog, including such hits as “Sugar,” "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya Huh?", “Here Comes the Showboat” and “At Twilight.” Another Pinkard composition from that period — “Them There Eyes” -- was a favorite of the great Billie Holiday, who recorded in 1939 on OKeh. It was one of the legend's signature tunes when she performed at George Wein's Storyville jazz club in Boston in 1952.Meanwhile, Bix Beiderbecke, with sidemen Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman, recorded Pinkard's "I'll Be A Friend with Pleasure" in 1930.Sweet Miss Brown The song that would top Maceo Pinkard's obituary in 1962 was co-written with lyricist Ken Casey. Soon after “Sweet Georgia Brown” was composed, it was introduced by bandleader Ben Bernie. As Bernie's nationally famous orchestra did much to popularize the number, Pinkard cut Bernie in for a share of the tune's royalties by giving him a co-writer credit.While the song today is an iconic jazz standard, it was not an instant hit. Bing Crosby recorded it in April 1932 with the Isham Jones Orchestra, reaching No. 2 in the charts. Four years later, Cab Calloway sang it in the movie The Singing Kid.Other RenditionsIt wasn't until 1949, though, that “Sweet Georgia Brown” reached its peak of popularity when it was recorded by Brother Bones and His Shadows. This novelty version, complete with whistling and bone-cracking, was a huge hit, spending 12 weeks on the Billboard charts. This version is the one you might know best, because it was adopted as the theme song of The Harlem Globetrotters basketball team starting in 1952. Still today they use it for their "Magic Circle" when the players warm up, passing around the ball and displaying their techniques and dexterity.Incidentally, a decade and a half later, The Beatles even had a comic version of the song. Their rendition contains the line In Liverpool she even dared / To criticize the Beatles' hair / With their whole fan club standing there.But Who Is Miss Brown?About Miss Brown's real-life identity, as those who regularly quote the Bible like to say, well, it's a mystery. Ken Casey's original 1925 lyrics make a number of references to African American culture. His rhymes make clear he's talking about a sweet brown-skinned woman from Georgia, possibly a prostitute, some say. The second verse, for instance, begins, Brown-skin gals, you'll get the blues, Brown-skin pals, you'll surely lose.Or was Miss Brown a white lady? In 1911, Dr. George Thaddeus Brown of the Georgia House of Representatives and his wife, Avis, welcomed a baby girl. Shortly after the child's birth, the Georgia General Assembly passed a resolution stating that the baby would be named “Georgia” after the state.Years later, in the lady's obituary, The Miami Herald wrote:According to family legend, it was her father who immortalized her when he met composer Ben Bernie in New York. A medical student at the time, George Brown told the composer about his family, including his youngest daughter with one brown eye and one green eye. Bernie whipped up lyrics to a melody by Kenneth Casey and Maceo Pinkard.Lots of errors here. Besides identifying Bernie as the “composer,” note that it was the 1890s when Dr. Brown attended post-graduate medical school in New York, decades before his daughter Georgia was born. Beyond that, there is a question of propriety. Dr. Brown's offspring would have been — what? — 14 when Pinkard's song was composed. Would you really celebrate your friend's teenage daughter with a song that said, Fellas she can't get / Are fellas that she ain't met? But hey, we didn't know her, so probably we ought to just keep our opinions to ourselves…Our Take on the Tune“Sweet Georgia Brown” has been in The Flood repertoire for a very long time. For instance, as reported earlier, back in 1977, when The Flood hosted a hootenanny one summer night at the Huntington Museum of Art, an instrumental version of the song was on the set list for the performance by Joe Dobbs, Dave Peyton, Stew Schneider and Charlie Bowen. Want to hear it? Click the button below:A quarter of a century after that, the tune was still front and center when it was featured on the band's first studio album in 2001. And, as we noted in an earlier article, “Sweet Georgia Brown” was on the set list for back-to-back shows on a magical weekend in the summer of 2002. Click the button below for a sampler of the tunes we played in those gigs, featuring solos by Joe and Dave, along with Chuck Romine, Doug Chaffin and Sam St. Clair:Today, a couple decades further along, “Sweet Georgia Brown” is still a showcase for all the folks on The Flood bandstand. In this 2024 version, we feature Charlie and Sam, along with Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton and Jack Nuckols.Swing It S'More?Finally, if that's how you like your Flood to roll, you might want to make Radio Floodango's free Swingin' playlist part of your day today for a randomize set of similar tunes.Click here to give it a spin.

SUSIE MAE MCC OY (AKA) SWEET GEORGIA BROWN   South Carolina's Susie Mae McCoy was a bright eyed girl with dreams of becoming a big time wrestling star when the 19-year old started training with The Fabulous Moolah and her then husband Buddy Lee in 1957. Moolah was one of the biggest female stars in America at the time and had started a stranglehold on booking women within the NWA and other territories following the decline of Billy Wolfe‘s monopoly. Renamed as Sweet Georgia Brown, McCoy made her pro wrestling debut a year later, in 1958, at the age of 20. Sweet Georgia Brown was Moolah's first African-American student in her school and Moolah and Lee had high hopes for the emerging fad in pro wrestling “Negro Women Wrestlers”. But despite her fame and rise on the women's wrestling circuit, Sweet Georgia Brown lived in fear for much of career. At first, it was from the rampant racism of the south – at some venues, she was smuggled in in the trunk of a car so that the KKK or other extremists wouldn't be tipped off to a black women entering the arenas or hotel rooms. But sadly, the most real terror was the clear and present danger of her trainer and manager, Moolah and Buddy Lee. Moolah and Lee would take a whopping 25% of their booking fees off the top (sometimes even more), often pocketing much more, leaving the wrestlers with barely enough to survive. In order to secure better booking for herself (or her girls to get better pay for herself), she would systematically prostitute her trainees to other promoters or even wrestlers. Sweet Georgia Brown was not immune to these heinous practices. At only 19-years old, Susie Mae McCoy became South Carolina's first black female wrestler. In 1957, she went to train under one of wrestling's biggest names, The Fabulous Moolah and her husband, Buddy Lee. She chose the name “Sweet Georgia Brown” and by the time she was 20, she was one of Moolah's most successful wrestlers. Even though she was incredibly talented, she was still taken advantage of due to her age and race. Throughout her career in the deep south, she had to hide in the trunks of cars to avoid the KKK, who would protest the thought of a black woman being allowed in arenas and hotels. On top of that, Moolah and Buddy Lee took 25% of all of her profits, leaving McCoy with little to support herself. In the Vice documentary Dark Side of the Ring, it was finally revealed that Buddy Lee himself was the father of one of McCoy's children, confirming long held rumors that Lee forced his trainees to sleep with him in exchange for better bookings. Despite these challenges, McCoy remained strong and by 1963, she was chosen to beat the very white and very blonde Nell Stewart for the NWA Texas Women's title. This would make her the first black woman to ever win the belt in one of the NWA's largest territories. Sweet Georgia Brown retired in 1972. According to her family, she could no longer endure the abuse of Lee and Moolah. She died in 1989 from breast cancer at 51. Her successful 15-year career in one of the most racist, toughest and sexist industries around is truly badass.

He wrote the songs we whistle while we stroll. He wrote the songs belted out by the titans of the Harlem Renaissance. He wrote the songs that gave American music much of its idiom and identity. Bluefield's Maceo Pinkard was a composer with a gift for melodies that stay in one's head and heart, while also creating hit Broadway musicals, and mentoring Duke Ellington. “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “Them There Eyes” are as present today as when they were first released, thanks to the talent and flair of the West Virginia native who made Tin Pan Alley his home.

The C.O.W.S. (Context of White Supremacy) Radio Program welcomes Ben Green. We're at the cusp of finishing Bill Russell's astounding autobiography, Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Russell is an amazing representation of attempted counter-racism, and his book is chock full of basketball history. He spends a substantial amount of time discussing Abe Saperstein and the Harlem Globetrotters. Russell rejected a job offer to suit up for the "clown princes of basketball" and indicted the White owner of the ball club as a Racist/White Supremacist. In fact, Russell mentions Saperstein by name when he enumerates his reasons for rejecting the basketball Hall of Fame. Gus T. was ignorant about all of this. #StillLearning Low and behold, Mr. Green penned a whole book detailing the history of Mr. Saperstein and his Racist management of the world famous Harlem Globetrotters. This book covers most of the 20th century, the "great migration" of black residents from the southern US to other regions, and the history and evolution of basketball under the domination of Racist man. We are mandated to discuss why their theme song is "Sweet Georgia Brown" - which is an ode to a black whore. Mr. Green disclosed that some of his White family members are "hardcore racists" who told Racist Jokes. When asked if he could share a Racist Joke, he instead disclosed that his father was present for the 1922 lynching of Arthur Young. Florida officials closed schools so that White children like Mr. Green's father could learn what Racism is and how it works. #AntiSemitism #DelectableNegro #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on the late Bill Russell's 1979 publication, Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Russell passed away on July 31st of this year at the age of 88. The NBA titan won eleven championships for the revered Boston Celtics and an Olympic gold medal, and was the first black head coach in any professional sport in US history. This week, the new NBA season begins with all thirty teams sporting a logo in honor of Russell for the entire season, and Russell's number six is slated to be retired by every franchise next season. Boston opens their season with the first of two tribute games to honor their legendary center. Last week, Russell detailed the business of sports and the extraordinary amount of money Whites invest to attend and watch sporting events as well the billion-dollar industry of sports betting. Russell was writing half a century before fantasy sports existed and when sports gambling was illegal in most jurisdictions. In fact, Russell's memoir was published days before ESPN debuted. Like Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Russell noted the many similarities between war and white ball games. The Louisiana native also made a striking point about the famed Harlem Globetrotters, a traveling group of black male basketball players whose peak popularity was during the mid 20th century when black males were mostly excluded from professional basketball leagues. Russell branded the troupe a minstrel show owned by a Racist White Man, Abraham Saperstein, who promoted stale, White Supremacist depictions of goofy, clowning black guys. The Globetrotters theme song is "Sweet Georgia Brown," which is about a black prostitute. #CounterViolence #BlackSelfRespect #COINTELPRO INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

En París, un día como hoy pero en 1923 se estrenaba, con coreografía de Jean Borlin y escenografía de Fernand Léger, el ballet La creación del mundo de Darius Milhaud. El encaprichamiento de Darius Milhaud con el jazz comenzó en 1920, en un concierto dado en Londres por una banda americana. Dos años más tarde Milhaud se encontraba en Nueva York, frecuentando los salones de baile y los teatros de Harlem. Entre los espectáculos de la época estaba Liza (de Maceo Pinkard, inmortalizada como compositora de "Sweet Georgia Brown"), cuya instrumentación Milhaud adaptó para La création du monde. El ballet, inspirado en mitos africanos comienza con tres dioses de la creación en el escenario conjurando árboles y animales con rituales y hechizos. Los bailarines y bailarinas surgen como deidades creadoras de la humanidad; finalizando dicho ballet con una pareja solitaria que queda en el escenario. Hoy escucharemos un fragmento de La creación del mundo de Milhaud de manos de el Ensamble contemporáneo de cámara dirigido por Arthur Weisberg.

THE ORIGIN OF THIS MUSIC:Created by Gibbs Williams  It is hard to believe it has been decades since I graduated from Miami Beach Senior High School. It is even harder to believe that I received an invitation to attend the 65th reunion. Unfortunately, with the covid pandemic still in the air, although vaccinated, I thought it prudent better to pass up this event hoping conditions fare more salutary for the 70th. Although disappointed I would miss the reunion I was struck by a wave of pleasurable nostalgia.           Recalling those the best of those glorious days I remember the feelings of the cool Miami Beach breezes enveloping us on our weekly Friday night dances in the patio of our high school. All who attended seemed hypnotized with feelings of a pervasive feeling of at-one-ment in which we collectively bathed in what was then and even now experienced as our own unique mixture of heroin- like- atmosphere. This natural high was experienced by many of us as nothing short of pure unadulterated nostalgia. Nostalgia then and now was like our living in a collective commune protecting us from what probably would have been experienced as overwhelming normal adolescent pain if we had been open to feeling it.  I was especially nostalgic remembering my self and four other guys daring to form a small combo good enough to play at all of the school dances. We even played well enough that every New Years Eve a Miami Beach Hotel hired us to perform. Our Small combo consisted of Drums (Marvin Guccion), Bass (John Schaffer), Trombone (Peter Weill), Trumpet (Kenny Kupper) and Piano (Gibbs Williams). Unknowingly we had no knowledge that we were on the cutting edge of what would soon be an explosion of worldwide bands.           In is in this memorable context that I wish to share an album of some of those unforgettable songs which best seem to celebrate the richness not only of those glorious days from the 9th to the 12th grade, but all the years that have too quickly passed - as well as the years that are yet to come. It is unfortunate that we never recorded our iconic sounds. The best I can offer with the goal in mind of capturing the sounds we made are my original arrangements made on my Yamaha synthesizer. The songs we played were standards from the forties and fifties. I have titled this compilation Nostalgia.                                "NOSTALGIA" -  65 th REUNION - MIAMI BEACH HIGH SCHOOL - CLASS of 55 Moon Over Miami , Ebb Tide, Star Dust, It Might As Well Be Spring, Teguilla, The Hucklebuck, Five Foot Two, Somewhere Along the Way, Im In The Mood For Love, Again, Blue Moon, Miami Beach Rhumba, Because of You, Rock Around the Clock, Down By The Riverside, Tammy's In Love, Where Is Your Heart, Don't Blame Me, If I Loved You, I'll Take Manhattan, The Man I Love, A Secret Love, Autumn Leaves, Summer Time, Mona LIsa, Take the A Train,Perfidia, It's No Sin, It Had To Be You, For Me And My Gal, Thrill Me, You're Just In Love, Yellow Bird, Canadian Sunset, A Taste Of Honey, Too Young, Saint Louis Blues, My Foolish Heart, You Belong To Me, Sleepy Time Gal, Body and Soul, The Nearness Of You, Misty, Sweet Georgia Brown, Blue Skies, Tenderly, Some Enchanted Evening, Bali High, Bewitched, Once Upon A Time, As Time Time Goes By, Aways, Fight Song Of The Miami Beach Hight Marching Band A and B.       I know all was not perfect then as we were all struggling to survive adolescence so those days were hardly always serene. Yet, there was, and still is for me and I imagine for many of my class mates, a certain undeniable 'specialness' about our class which for many of us still acts like a permanent magnet pulling us back again and again to re-unite.       As for me, if we had been recognized as ground-breaking I am certain our lives at least vocationally would have taken a much different route. However, I can honestly say that I am happy to being a still practicing psychoanalyst in New York City - a happily married husband and father having started our own dynasty of four grandchildren.

Taylor tells Josie about the most controversial figure in the history of women's professional wrestling.

Here's a radio transcription for which we know nothing at all, save what we hear. The disk had lost its label, and with it went the hope of knowing where it fell in the chronology of the show. It's the longer nearly fifteen minute format, and Bob used "Lady Be Good" as both the intro and outro (not very long into the series, he went with "Sweet Georgia Brown" for the intro), so potentially it's early in the scheme of things. Let's table that for now, and check it out: Bob leading the quartet, with Ray Sherman playing piano, Jud De Naut on bass, and Nick Fatool on drums. First up "The Continental", followed by our old friend Margo Powers to sing "Tico Tico". Back to the quartet for the instrumental combo of "All The Things You Are" with "Someone To Watch Over Me". Margo comes back to croon the sweet tune "Sposin'", with a great solo by Bob. The quartet closes the set out with "Anitra's Boogie". Bob's holiday bonus for us all!

This is the last of our regular dated air checks, but we are going out with a bang. Not only did this transcription disk yield the show, but on the other side of the disk was a great surprise! Side One presents our broadcast, starting off with the "Sweet Georgia Brown" intro. Bob, Ray Sherman on piano, Jud De Naut on bass, and Frank Flynn on drums and percussion make up our quartet, who give us another listen to "Anitra's Boogie" (also heard on  Season 1 episode 8). Then, Ruth Martin is introduced to sing "You're Breaking My Heart". The quartet comes back with the Rodgers and Hart classic "Lover", which begins sedately but then doubles up and showcases Frank Flynn's amazing work on vibes. Ruth Martin comes back once more for "Just One Of Those Things" (compare to Season 2 episodes 5 & 13) before the quartet saunters off with "Lady Be Good". But wait, there's more... Lost to history is how or why Bob got to record the band rehearsing this very show, but indeed this one transcription disk had been cut on both sides. We hear a different voice standing in for the announcer (perhaps an engineer in a booth?) off-mic, but Bob, Ruth, and the guys are all very clear, if not slightly looser than during the broadcast. Here and there the booth voice speaks to the band, in the middle of a performance, and the band talks to one another as well. A sharp ear may detect the clinking of a glass (it may be nothing more than Ruth's glass of water...). A rare chance to hear Bob and the band informally!

It's lost to time what transpired between May and September of 1949 for Bob-but we can surmise he wasn't just camped out in the NBC parking lot. Record and movie dates were coming with greater frequency, and Bob's keen ears and deft touch made him very much in demand in Hollywood. When the third Monday in September finally allowed him time for another ten-minute broadcast, his ease and facility were sharper than ever. Another mystery from this date, though, is where did Margo Powers depart to: for the rest of the series, Ruth Martin takes over as "girl singer". After our customary "Sweet Georgia Brown" intro, the band revisits "Coca Roca", then Hal and Ruth introduce a new song from a contemporary Disney movie: "Katrina". With music by Don Raye and lyrics by Gene De Paul, this was sung by Bing Crosby with Jud Conlon and his Rhythmaires in the animated film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Following this lovely tune is Frank Flynn's tour de force: "I Know That You Know". Ruth closes the set with "Where Are You When I Need You", before the quartet walks out with Bob's inversion of "Lady Be Good". Great radio!

Being the leader in a church is hard work. Church folks can be some of the most frustrating and difficult folks to work with. But, despite their flaws (and our own) and the amount of stress and frustration we may face as church leaders, beating the sheep should never be an option. God doesn't take kindly to it, and we put ourselves in great danger when we ignore this fact and abuse the sheep for personal gain. Unfortunately, it happens more often than we may realize as beating the sheep isn't just a physical act. In this episode we introduce another host of the Angry Christian Podcast (Robert Platt) and explore how easy it is to fall into the angry trap as a church leader.

JAZZ GUITAR! WESTERN SWING! METAPHYSICS? Joe Settlemires grew up in Oklahoma and played guitar with all the big jazz guitar players. He joined Bob Wills group in the sixties when he was still in his twenties. Because he was that good! He's kind of a Forest Gump of amazing music. In addition to being one of the world's hottest guitar players, it turns out that Joe has a phd in metaphysics! This conversation goes through the atomic level and challenges the theory of relativity! This episode includes the songs Cherokee, Sweet Georgia Brown, Move, and Sugarfoot Rag (featuring Vince Gill and Harold Bradley)

"We're on the air!" says an anonymous voice right at the top, and so we are, once again. Bob took a couple of weeks off-recording in Les Paul's living room for one thing (more on that later!)-but he's back on his regular broadcast for at least a couple of weeks. We get a new announcer (John Storm?) but Bob, Ray Sherman, Ralph Collier, and Jud De Naut return once again, starting off with "Sweet Georgia Brown" and then into a samba, "Tymbales" with Ralph's propulsive percussion killing it on congas. Dear Margo Powers returns once again and this time sings a lovely new ballad, "Again", with Ray doubling on organ. The quartet plays the bop version of "Honeysuckle Rose" (and listen to Ralph on vibes!). Margo comes back for "A Wonderful Guy" (Ray back to the organ) to close out our ten minute piece of beauty. Soon Bob's career takes off and he will leave the comfy confines of the radio studio behind, but don't worry: we'll have a whole new season's worth of rare recordings, outtakes, acetates, and guest appearances. Stay tuned!

Well, Bob had a busy weekend (see the previous two episodes), but now, Monday night is here again and we're back to the shorter, ten minute segment on air. The guys from Saturday's gig are back (Ray Sherman on piano, Ralph Collier on drums, and Judy De Naut on bass), but tonight we get yet another staff announcer to make like funny with the gags and sidling up to Margo (this time it's Hal Gibney). Our format is familiar, and in fact all of the tunes had been played on air before, but without question, Bob's enthusiasm brings fresh perspective, and solos, to each. First off, after our "Sweet Georgia Brown" intro, the quartet plays "Coca Roca". Margo comes in and sings "Who Wouldn't Love You". We get to hear Bob's voice again, introducing "Perdido". Margo returns for "Always True To You" before the quartet saunters out on Bob's interpolation of "Lady Be Good". Short but indeed sweet!

The second of our two back-to-back expanded nights brings a new announcer, and our regular bass player: the voice introduces himself as “Archibald Cresby”. This may or may not be for real, but Bob Bain on guitar, Ray Sherman on piano, Ralph Collier playing drums, and Jud De Naut (once again getting his name mangled!) on bass are all very much the real deal. After the “Sweet Georgia Brown” intro, the quartet swings through “The Continental”, then Margo chimes in to sing “Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe”. Bob introduces Ray's arrangement of “Star Eyes” (with some great changes behind Bob's brilliant soloing). “Always True To You” is a good vehicle for Margo, and “Tenderly” the perfect showcase for the quartet's sensitivities. Margo returns with a brand new ballad called “My Ginny”. The quartet plays the moody “Miserlou” (with Ralph playing some very cool bongos). Margo brightens the mood with “Walkin' My Baby Back Home”, then the quartet races for home with Bob's great arrangement of the Mozart theme, renamed “Turkish Boogie”, a flag waver and perfect closer for our extended live radio date!

Imagine the call from the brass at NBC: “Bobby, you've been bouncing around on Monday and Tuesday Night, but we need you for next Friday and Saturday night-and we'll give you a half hour”. Well, that may not have been the way it went down, but indeed for reasons unknown, Bob's show did indeed get those coveted April nights, and was in fact bulked out to almost 25 minutes. Here's the Friday night show: Bob leading the quartet, with Ralph Collier on drums and percussion, redoubtable Ray Sherman on keyboards, and the new kid: Irving Eddy on bass. Who is Irving Eddy? He's good enough to sub for Jud De Naut for the evening (Jud will be back tomorrow night). So after our “Sweet Georgia Brown” intro, the guys play “Hot Canary”, written by Paul Nero and often used to show off chops whether on violin, trumpet, or right here on guitar. Bob keeps this canary as cool as can be. Next up, song star Margo Powers sings “At Long Last Love”, then the quartet (with Ray on organ) walks through “April In Paris”. After that,  from South Pacific it's “Wonderful Guy”. Bob introduces two new tunes: “Need You” and “Butterfingers”. Margo returns with “Dreamer With A Penny”, then it's Bob's original tune “A Gal In Malibu”. Margo's final tune is “Fine And Dandy” before the quartet blazes through a bravura performance of “'S Wonderful”. 'S Wonderful to have Bob on the air for twenty-five minutes!
