Hmm, how will the Jolly Boys all like hearing each other's constructive (of course) remarks? We'll find out. But the one thing I could not find out is what songs to play that would go with today's theme of constructive criticism. It doesn't exist SOOOOO Your Humble Host has thrown out the rules and we're just going to listen to some music today we happen to like a lot. Stopping by to do their part will be Dinah Shore, Andy Williams, Jimmy Dean, Joni James (who's picture you see along side this week's show), a stereo Bing Crosby, Vaughn Monroe & The Andrew Sisters in '60's stereo recordings & Waylon Jennings will sing us our favorite Waylon song.

Helping to sort all this out will be this week's team of singers-Vaughn Monroe, Al Jolson, Joanie Sommers, Bing Crosby & John Conlee. And in addition we will be remembering a special little singer, the girl from Ipanema herself-Astrud Gilberto.

Over two and a half hours of uninterrupted and unhosted Christmas classics. A custom mix I created from dozens of old Christmas albums and cassettes I grew up with.

Americans in the 1950s, yearning to return to normalcy after the Great Depression and World War II, got married, had lots of kids, and used their newly middle-class status to buy cookie-cutter houses in the suburbs. But not everyone conformed to the white middle class American Dream. Black Americans were largely excluded from suburban housing and the benefits of the GI Bill; girls who became pregnant out of wedlock were hidden from sight; children with developmental disabilities were sent to institutions; and gay men hid their homosexual attractions for fear of ostracization, harassment, and even legal consequences. The secrets they kept took a toll on the families who kept them. Joining me to discuss the secrets of the 1950s is Dr. Margaret K. Nelson, Hepburn Professor Emerita of Sociology at Middlebury College and author of Keeping Family Secrets: Shame and Silence in Memoirs from the 1950s. Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

In today's Sounds Like Radio Volume 115 we find our very own Throckmorton Gildersleeve worried about the education Leroy is getting in school. Let's just say Gildy is lucky he isn't around now to see the daily horrors that are being indoctrinated into our kids today. But that's for another kind of program. We're here to have a brief respite from today's news disasters and enjoy some music and a few laughs with Your Humble Host and The Great Gildersleeve from May 21, 1947. Helping out with educating Leroy properly will be Frank Sinatra, the Andrew Sisters, Vaughn Monroe, the Park Avenue Hillbillie-Dorothy Shay (pictured here with today's show), Bing Crosby and last but not least Gogi Grant rounds out the education system. Least we know our readin, riten' and rithmetic, only hope the kids today will be able to say the same thing.

Oooh we got a good one today. I just heard it myself and I want to hear it again. FIrst off in GIldy Land today the Mayor's race is heating up and GIldy's backing rotten neighbor Bullard. Gildy passes out the ceegars to campaign for Bullard and things go awry from there. Listen to Sounds Like Radio Volume 109 and the November 1, 1950 Great Gildersleeve. Bonus-ville: I'll be telling you all about what happened to me with my first cars, a Kojak '73 Buick and an American Motors 1973 Levis Jeans Gremlin. We'll even hear an original vintage ad advertising that very Levis Gremlin I drove! In addition to hearing the original '73 Gremlin ad you can see in our picture that accompanies this show the original 1973 ad. Yes, I was quite the groovy cat. But the really good news is what we have for you both before and after the Gildersleeve show. I've gone deep into the Sounds Like Radio archives and have emerged with some winners. We'll be listening to 2 very special STEREO recordings by the REAL Ink Spots and the real Vaughn Monroe!!! We then turn to a song written by Ralph Kramden & Ed Norton from Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners and the actual record made of that song by Bob Manning. Jo Stafford thinks Gildy has trouble in mind, Bing Crosby and Peggy Lee are here to sing a duet that is rarely found or heard, Billie Holiday sings a really neat song that is not one you ever hear Billie sing, but you will today.

So happy to have you back for another episode of NNVoS. Episode 92 for those of you keeping track at home. As promised, we will feature a SMQ from June 29th, 1995. Let’s call this one: AM Gold The usual suspects of yours truly, Ed Mullen, Jack Harte, and Norm comprise the panel. Mike Epstein was producing. The pregame ritual of explaining the rules is here in all its glory and is revisited later for even greater clarification. The Categories: Rock n’ Roll Musical Comedy Jazz/Big Band And the all-new: Bible Songs and Yiddish Freylekhs The prize package ante has been upped. Not only will you receive a Certificate of Award but a much-coveted Peepers Keyring! Later the question arises regarding the keyring supply and what if we run out? Fear not as I put forth the best solution. Another non-musical question is posed: What happens if the Tobin Bridge toll takers run out of change? This discussion was prompted by Norm giving an on-air “hello” to one of them. The game begins a little differently as Ed and Norm give some starting questions before we take calls. AND for RnR it will be multiple choice 70’s theme question night – get 2 out of three and move to the next round! If my count is correct, we took 38 calls. And here now, for your dining and dancing pleasure, are the names: Frank in Leicester Ann in Marlborough Jim from NH Ken in his car Lance from Dorchester Chris from Peabody Linda in Quincy Deedee in W. VA Helene in Belmont Eddie from Attleboro Tom in Fitchburg Brian in Walpole Ruth from Portland ME David in Brookline Mike in PA John from Cleveland Dennis in Beverly Joe from Cambridge Matt in his car Matt from Boston Ladies and gents…Side B Buddy in Belmont Terry from Weymouth Kevin in Lynn Beth in MI Frank in Dorchester Mary from Worcester Doug in Medford Carl Bob in Medford Todd from Walpole John in Arlington Dieter from Maryland John in his car Gloria in Malden Christian from Charlestown Warren in Medford Kevin from Foxborough And Bill in Nashua NH If the Swellness of the quiz wasn’t enough here’s some other highlights: We break for a news update on the The Unabomber...that’s NOT included here! The RnR HoF will be open Labor Day weekend – our caller from Cleveland was not a fan of the building. We get the briefest snippet of a Jordan’s Furniture commercial and then we hear the end of Norm reading all about PowerVites and PowerMate. It’s another classic with Norm advising, “Call the number and ask them what it was I said.” And in a funny turn of events, one of our callers asks Norm about the number! There’s a lovely resort town in the Appalachian Mountains where they take great care of you with clean sheets and feeding you five times a day. A request for Linda Chase to do a SMQ theme. Norm gives us his impression of “the guy with the muscles in his throat” - Vaughn Monroe. Did you know that 4 Certificates of Award is equal to a PhD? And Norm reads a Vermont Teddy Bear commercial that was done with full accompaniment by ‘The Bunch of Hairy Guys.’ Episode 92, AM Gold – a SMQ from June 29th, 1995 is in the cassette deck.

This is the story of Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! #BehindTheChristmasHits is Presented by Pizza Pizza Lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne were meeting with their publisher on one of the hottest days of the year at Hollywood & Vine in July 1945. A time before most people had air conditioning. It was reportedly Cahn who said to the other two men that it was too hot to work and they should really head to the beach, to which Styne replied: “why don’t we stay here and write a winter song?” The two songwriters were very different. Styne has been described as a workaholic where Cahn was much more carefree. Opposites attract and not just in love. As a song-writing team, they received 7 different Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song including one win for a song sung by Frank Sinatra in the 1954 movie Three Coins in a Fountain. On this particular day in July of ’45, Styne won the argument and the two stayed at the restaurant to write a song about snow. While they were in California at this time, they had both lived in New York and began exchanging stories of being snowed in. Why repeat the sentiment “let it snow” three times? Why not just once? Or even five times? Cahn once said “because three times is “lyric”. It is a pretty simple song though and some have speculated over the years that if a less accomplished song writing team had written it, it may have gone unnoticed…but as mentioned earlier, Styne and Cahn had cred. Vaughn Monroe was the first to sing the song. Monroe was a bandleader born in Akron, Ohio, but what was unusual about him, was that he was also his orchestra’s lead singer. Benny Goodman didn’t sing. Glenn Miller didn’t sing. Vaughn Monroe did. He was a good looking guy who had the nickname of “the baritone with muscles.” Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra recorded the song on Halloween Day, 1945. Timing was perfect. World War II had ended in September – soldiers were home and romance was in the air. While there’s no actual mention of Christmas in the lyrics, the song was an instant success, reaching #1 on the Billboard chart and staying there through February 1946. The song was so popular, three other versions of the song also made the Top 20 before that same winter was over. Imagine. Four different versions of Watermelon Sugar on the chart at exact same time. That’s how popular Let It Snow was that winter. And it’s never not been popular. Some songs, like Santa Baby, have cycled out of favour for a time. Not Let It Snow. Frank Sinatra in 1950. Ella Fitzgerald in 1960. Michael Buble in 2003. It’s a Christmas hit that might not have a true “definitive” version, but the song itself has always been a favourite. Quick note about the original recording artist, Vaughn Monroe – the baritone with muscles. He would have another chance to record a Christmas classic a couple of years later, but he TURNED DOWN the opportunity to be the first to sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. That went to Gene Autry.

Even aside from the roller coasters at Indiana Beach, the ups and downs have been dizzying at the iconic tourist attraction on the shores of Lake Shafer at the Hoosier town of Monticello. The heyday of the beach, boardwalk, amusement center, arcade and ballroom - where the Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher and Janis Joplin performed - lasted for decades after the park opened during the 1920s. After a series of ownership changes, Indiana Beach has been continually in the news this year: In February came the stunning announcement that it would close after 94 colorful years. That was followed by another ownership change, which paved the way for the reopening of Indiana Beach earlier this month. Hoosier History Live will explore the history that began in 1926, when founder Earl Spackman created a summer getaway then known as Ideal Beach, which initially was just a sandy stretch of lakeshore and a refreshment stand that he built with two-by-fours. By the Big Band era of the 1940s, the ballroom had become a venue for such musical headliners as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Fireworks, water skiing demonstrations, a Ferris wheel and other attractions ensued. Nelson will be joined by two guests, both of whom live in Monticello: Joy Spackman Bailey, the granddaughter of founder Earl Spackman, who began working at Indiana Beach as a teenager checking coats in the ballroom and helping at a soda fountain. Also during the 1950s, when the attraction was owned by her father, Tom Spackman, Joy participated in water skiing demonstrations on the lake that captivated hundreds of spectators. Later, she was a teacher at various local schools. She also is an artist and past president of the White County Historical Society. And author W.C. Madden, known as Bill, who is the editor of Monticello Magazine, a quarterly. He has written more than 40 books, including the newly released History of Twin Lakes (Shafer & Freeman Publishing) which includes a chapter about Indiana Beach, and Indiana Beach: A Fun-Filled History (Arcadia Publishing, 2013). The path forward for Indiana Beach became rocky after the Spackman family sold it in 2008. Non-local, corporate ownership ensued, with much higher admission prices. California-based Apex Parks Group bought Indiana Beach in 2015, by which point many of the amusement park rides were deteriorating, according to news accounts. The announcement in February that Apex was closing the park - followed by news that Apex was filing for bankruptcy - made the front pages of newspapers across Indiana. So did the unexpected news that Chicago-based businessman Gene Staples had purchased and would reopen Indiana Beach. The White County Commission and the White County Council offered $3 million in financial incentives to attract a new owner, according to news accounts. Younger generations often are surprised to learn that Indiana Beach ever attracted top entertainers like Peter, Paul and Mary, the Who, Janis Joplin and the Beach Boys, who drew thousands of concert goers during the 1960s. "Long-time owner Tom Spackman hired booking agents to bring in top acts," the Lafayette Courier-Journal wrote in a 2011 retrospective of the performers, described by the newspaper as a who's who of future Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. "The Monticello stop was usually sandwiched between gigs in Chicago and Indianapolis." But it's not only the celebrities that stand out in the memory of our guest, Joy Spackman Bailey.  She reflects back on her unusual childhood: "Imagine growing up amid roller coasters, carousels and cotton candy. My brothers and I would ride our bikes up and down the boardwalk, playing tag and hide-and-seek . . . I'm not alone in feeling that there was magic in the air those summers I spent at the park." But there also were challenges, almost from the beginning. In late May 1930, hours before a pavilion at Indiana Beach - then still known as Ideal Beach - was set to host its first band and dance, a devastating fire swept through the entertainment center, completely destroying it.  Owner Earl Spackman vowed to reopen after the disaster, and according to our guest W.C. Madden, his workers were able to have a pavilion ready in just a few weeks, enabling a July 4 gala. The park was renamed Indiana Beach in the 1950s by Tom Spackman. His daughter, our guest Joy, notes that Louis Armstrong entertained crowds there five times between 1955 and 1962. Other favorite performers included Vaughn Monroe, Brenda Lee, the Four Seasons and the Kingston Trio. Eventually, though, the focus at Indiana Beach shifted from dance halls, concerts, swimming and sunbathing to the amusement park rides, which included a roller coaster called the Hoosier Hurricane. For decades, Indiana Beach was known for its TV commercials that proclaimed: "There's more than corn in Indiana." The ownership changes in recent years, along with steeper daily admission prices and what many White County residents felt was a lack of creativity and vision, were disheartening. An Indianapolis Monthly magazine article summarizes the advice for new owner Staples: "Repair the relationship with the local community." After the shock of the closing announcement, the recent reopening has made Joy Spackman Bailey optimistic. "We are so thankful to see the park up and running again," she says. "Things can only get better."

Camel Caravan was a musical variety radio program, sponsored by Camel cigarettes, that aired on NBC Radio and CBS Radio from 1933 to 1954. Various vocalists, musicians and comedy acts were heard during the 21 years this show was on the air, including such talents as Benny Goodman, Georgia Gibbs, Anita O'Day and Vaughn Monroe. It debuted December 7, 1933, on CBS as a showcase for Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra. Deane Janis was the vocalist and Walter O'Keefe supplied the comedy along with Stoopnagle and Budd. Broadcast on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it continued until June 25, 1936. On June 30, 1936 the show was reformatted, featuring Nathaniel Shilkret and his orchestra and Benny Goodman and his swing band, with novelist Ruppert Hughes as Master of Ceremonies and vocalists Martha Tilton and Johnny Mercer. A Los Angeles Times picture caption notes that Gladys Swarthout was the guest artist on the initial broadcast. Shilkret left the show on September 22, 1936. Jack Oakie's College was added to the hour on December 29, 1936. While this aired on Tuesdays on CBS until June 20, 1939, another Benny Goodman Camel Caravan (often subtitled The Camel Hot Club) was heard Saturdays on NBC during 1939. Eddie Cantor starred in another CBS Camel Caravan broadcast from March 28, 1938 to June 26, 1939. The CBS show was taken over by Bob Crosby on June 27, 1939. Others who starred on this series during the years were Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra, comedian Herb Shriner, Abbott and Costello, Jimmy Durante and Garry Moore (when it was known as Camel Comedy Caravan), Jack Carson, Mel Blanc, and Bob Hawk (emcee of the quiz program Thanks to the Yanks, later known as The Bob Hawk Show).

We’re in Paris, 1917, where Charles-Edouard Jeanneret is making friends, thinking about sex (and writing enormous letters about it), designing the occasional mechanised abattoir / concrete garden terrace, going bankrupt, trying to sell concrete blocks to postwar society, inventing a new style of painting, launching a highly costly art magazine, and (finally!) acquiring the name under which he would become famous — Le Corbusier!

This week I am starting a two part series on the V-Disc program. V-Discs, which V standing for Victory, was a series of recordings during the WWII era for the morale of US Service Men and Women. The idea, and actual production of V-Discs actually started a bit before the US entered WWII. Starting in June of 1941 it was the idea and creation of Army Captain Charles Bronson. These V-Discs were meant for our troops, it was a good idea, and proved to be very popular. Using the most popular talent of the time, they were an instant hit. The V-Discs had performances from such musicians as: Tommy Dorsey, Dinah Shore, Benny Goodman, Vaughn Monroe, Duke Ellington, Spike Jones, Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, and many, many more. I hope you enjoy this series as we listen to some of the Big Bands from the V-Disc series.Please visit this podcast at http://www.fgmiller.com/bbb/
