Hokum bands of the 1920s and '30s created a brand of urban folk tunes called “jug band music” that famously blended the sounds of the plantation and the church with those of the swing, swerve and sway of nascent jazz.And no one did it better than those Flood heroes The Memphis Jug Band, formed in 1927 by Beale Street guitar/harmonica player Will Shade. Shade was also known as Son Brimmer, a nickname given to him by his grandmother Annie Brimmer (“son” being short for grandson). The name stuck when other members of the band noticed how the sun bothered him and he used the brim of a hat to shade his eyes.The Ohio Valley InfluenceIncidentally, Will Shade first heard jug band music in our part of the country, on the 1925 recordings by Louisville's Dixieland Jug Blowers, and he wanted to take that sound south.“He was excited by what he heard,” Wikipedia notes, “and felt that bringing this style of music to his hometown of Memphis could be promising. He persuaded a few local musicians, though still reluctant, to join him in creating one of the first jug bands in Memphis.”While Shade was the constant, the rest of his band's personnel varied from day to day, as he booked gigs and arranging recording sessions.Some players remained a long time. For instance, Charlie Burse (nicknamed "Laughing Charlie," "Uke Kid Burse" and "The Ukulele Kid”) recorded some 60 sides with the MJB. Others — like Memphis Minnie and Hattie Hart — used the band as a training ground before going on to make careers of their own.Street MusicThe Memphis Jug Band's venues, as The Corner Jug Store web site noted, included “street corners, juke joints, city nightclubs, political rallies, private parties, hotel ballrooms, medicine shows and riverboats,” and it cut many styles and repertoires to suit its varied audiences.Most of all, the MJB's sound was the music of the street, as demonstrated in the open lines of their wonderful “4th Street Mess Around,” recorded in May 1930 for Victor by Ralph Peer: Go down Fourth until you get to Vance, Ask anybody about that brand new dance. The girls all say, “You're going my way, It's right here for you, here's your only chance.”And what was that “brand new dance?” Shoot, take your pick! The Eagle Rock, the turkey trot and fox trot, camel walk and Castle Walk, the Charleston and the Lindy Hop were all stirring the feet and wiggling the hips of listeners and players in the ‘20 and ‘30s.But Mess Around?But what's a “mess around?” Well, as we reported here earlier, New Orleans jazzman Wingy Manone in his wonderful autobiography called Trumpet on the Wing, talked about watching people dance the mess-around at the fish fries of his youth in the Crescent City at the beginning of the 20th century.“The mess-around,” said Wingy, “was a kind of dance where you just messed around with your feet in one place, letting your body do most of the work, while keeping time by snapping fingers with one hand and holding a slab of fish in the other!” Now, that's an image.Our Take on the TuneThe Flood first started messing around jug band tunes nearly 50 Springs ago, when the band was still a youngster. Before their juncture with juggery, the guys played mainly old folk songs and some Bob Dylan and John Prine and a smattering of radio tunes from folks like James Taylor and The Eagles. But then they discovered some fine old recordings by Tampa Red and Georgia Tom, by groups like The Mississippi Sheiks and Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers, and most especially the great Memphis Jug Band. Ever since then, The Flood's musical buffet table has been a lot bigger, with tunes like this one from the warmup at last week's rehearsal.More Jugginess?Of course, The Flood's jug band music mission has continued.

One of Ray Charles's first hits was “Mess Around,” released on Atlantic Records back in 1953, but actually in this case, Brother Ray was a little late to the party.Many of the ideas for that song can been heard in a whole mess of New Orleans boogie piano riffs, starting as early as, say, Cow Cow Davenport's playing in the late 1920s. But if you want to go back even further — and, well, we generally do — there are references to dances called a “mess around” as far back the earliest days of jazz. For instance, in his wonderful autobiography called Trumpet on the Wing, the great New Orleans jazzman Wingy Manone talked about watching people dance the mess-around at the fish fries of his youth in the Crescent City at the beginning of the 20th century.“The mess-around,” said Wingy, “was a kind of dance where you just messed around with your feet in one place, letting your body do most of the work, while keeping time by snapping fingers with one hand and holding a slab of fish in the other!” Now, that's an image. Our Take on the TuneAs reported here earlier, the good-time hokum tunes of the 1920s and ‘30s have been part of The Flood's oeuvre since its earliest days, and here — from a recent rehearsal — is testimony to the fact that that tradition is alive and rocking.Our mess around — “4th Street Mess Around” — is the tune we learned from a spring 1930 recording by long-time Flood heroes, the remarkable Memphis Jug Band.

Many “river” songs try to tap into the romance of riverboats, but few can claim to be born on the river and be written by an actual steamboater. New Orleans clarinetist Sidney Arodin got his start in music in the 1920s working in bands that entertained on excursion boats that traveled up and down the Mississippi River. “(Up a) Lazy River,” Arodin's most famous competition, was a tossed-off composition based on a common jazz chord progression that Arodin learned on the boats to use as a warm-up exercise before a performance. For the tune, Sid simply slowed it down to a lazier pace.Sidney's StartNow, the story goes that at 15 Arodin got his first clarinet and took lessons for only two months. This was the sum total of his "legit" musical training, until years later when he took a week off to teach himself a bit of music theory after being fired from a band for not knowing how to read the sheet music.His very first gig was a Saturday night dance in his hometown of Westwego, Louisiana. When a combo hired from New Orleans hit town minus an ill clarinetist, Arodin ran barefoot through mud and oyster shells to grab his own clarinet.From his 16th birthday onward, Arodin was rarely at home. First, he was hired on the riverboats, then he eventually made it to New York City where he worked with Johnny Stein's Original New Orleans Jazz Band beginning in 1922. (In the mid-'20s in that group he played with the young still-unknown Jimmy Durante.)The Hoagy Carmichael ConnectionIt was during Sidney's New York years that he met his famous collaborator. As Hoagy Carmichael wrote in his 1965 autobiography, Sometimes I Wonder, it was a mutual friend, Harry Hostetter, who introduced them.“Harry met a lot of musicians in the Broadway area,” Hoagy wrote, “and he came running up to me one night.”“‘This guy, Sidney Arodin, plays a pretty clarinet and he's got a tune you gotta hear, Hoag.'”“‘Where?'”“‘Over on 56th Street in a clip joint.'”That night, Hoagy and Harry dropped in. “It was a shabby brick-front walk-up on the second floor,” he recalled, “and the only customer was a balding man of about 55 with a hired girl on each arm, drinking champagne. They must have clipped this gent for five hundred at least before they let him out. Harry and I were guests of Sidney's, so none of the girls glanced our way.“Sidney played his tune and I was highly pleased,” Carmichael wrote. “I knew Harry couldn't be wrong. In the ensuing weeks, I wrote a verse and a lyric and titled it ‘Lazy River.'”Carmichael went on, “The ambition of every songwriter was now accomplished, although I didn't know it then — that of having in his folio something on the order of a folk song that could be played and sung in most any manner, something that could be sung all the way through by drunken quartets or by blondes over a piano bar.”Carmichael made the very first recording of “Lazy River” in 1930 for Victor with Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Joe Venuti and Red Norvo. That was followed in 1932 with cover versions both by Louis Armstrong and by Phil Harris. One of the most beloved rendering of “Lazy River” came in 1942 with The Mill Brothers' Decca recording, but, hey, there is no shortage of versions to choose from. It is one of the most recorded numbers in the Great American Songbook, and hundreds of covers of “(Up A) Lazy River” have been released, and are still coming out today.Sid's Last YearsIn the 1930s, Arodin returned to Louisiana to gig with combos assembled by assorted New Orleans trumpeters, including Wingy Manone, Sharkey Bonano and Louis Prima. But for his last seven years starting in 1941, Arodin's health failed and his musical appearances became less frequent.Curiously, while he cut quite a few sides with quite a few groups during his playing career, Sidney himself never recorded his most famous song.Doug and The Jazz BoxOur take on the tune: Our buddy Doug Chaffin wasn't feeling too swell earlier this week when Randy Hamilton, Danny Cox and Charlie Bowen landed on his doorstep. However, we brought with us a secret medicine just guaranteed to make him feel better. It was Charlie's new guitar, a sweet 2016 D'Angelico Excel — a hollow-body arch top jazz box — which we immediately put into Doug's experienced hands. Well, after Doug strummed a chord or two, we could hear him already smiling behind his face mask. Listen to him just swinging in the living room on this great old jazz standard.More Doug?

Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed, gotta sew a button on my vest,'cause tonight I've gotta look my best, Lulu's back in town!Okay, you probably never heard of a songwriter named Harry Warren. But we bet that you know —and can even hum — many of his tunes. Warren was nominated 11 times for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and he won three of those Oscars, for “Lullaby of Broadway” in 1935, for “You'll Never Know” in 1943 and for “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe” in 1946.In a career spanning six decades, Warren wrote more than 800 songs. Besides those Oscar biggies, Warren's better known pieces include novelty tunes like “Jeepers Creepers,” “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” (which was the first gold record in history). And ballads like “I Only Have Eyes for You” and “There Will Never Be Another You.” He also penned signature tunes like “That's Amore,” which Dean Martin claimed as his own, and — best of all! — “At Last,” which simply belonged to the great Etta James.At the MoviesDespite his million-dollar portfolio, Warren remains “the invisible man,” observed journalist William Zinsser, “his career a prime example of the oblivion that cloaked so many writers who cranked out good songs for bad movies."Uh, LOTS of bad (and, well, some good) movies. Harry Warren songs have been featured in more than 300 films over the years. He wrote the music for the first blockbuster film musical, 1933's “42nd Street,” choreographed by Busby Berkeley, with whom Warren often would collaborate. But perhaps an even greater claim to fame for our generation is that fact that Warren songs starred in no fewer than 112 Warner Bros., Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons.Welcome Home, Lulu!In 1932, Harry went to work for Warner Brothers studio, where he was paired with an old friend, lyricist Al Dubin. Over the next six years, the two would churn out five dozen songs for 33 musicals, including a long-time favorite of ours.“Lulu's Back in Town” was first performed by the Mills Brothers in the 1935 musical “Broadway Gondolier.” While the film was a highly forgettable Dick Powell-Joan Blondell vehicle, the song itself had legs, especially when it was recorded that same spring by Flood hero Fats Waller, who charted with “Lulu.”Subsequently, the song charmed everyone from Mel Tormé and Wingy Manone to Art Tatum to Oscar Peterson. In the Floodisphere, an especially influential rendition of the song was Leon Redbone's performance on his 1975 “On the Track” debut album. Our first recording of it was 20 years ago on our 2nd album. And Lulu has has come back to visit us with each new configurations of the band.Our Take on the TuneWe'll be returning next week to one of our all-time favorite local venues, playing for the good folks up the hill at Woodlands Retirement Community. It's a wonderful place where we've played regularly for the past 20 years or more. And this time, our old buddy, Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin, is back to sit in with us. Here's something we're dusting off for the evening … you know, just in case Lulu is in the audience. This is a public episode.

The biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway recorded for AFRS during the war years, The American Forces Network can trace its origins back to May 26, 1942, when the War Department established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The U.S. Army began broadcasting from London during World War II, using equipment and studio facilities borrowed from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first transmission to U.S. troops began at 5:45 p.m. on July 4, 1943, and included less than five hours of recorded shows, a BBC news and sports broadcast. That day, Corporal Syl Binkin became the first U.S. Military broadcasters heard over the air. The signal was sent from London via telephone lines to five regional transmitters to reach U.S. troops in the United Kingdom as they prepared for the inevitable invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. Fearing competition for civilian audiences the BBC initially tried to impose restrictions on AFN broadcasts within Britain (transmissions were only allowed from American Bases outside London and were limited to 50 watts of transmission power) and a minimum quota of British produced programming had to be carried. Nevertheless AFN programmes were widely enjoyed by the British civilian listeners who could receive them and once AFN operations transferred to continental Europe (shortly after D-Day) AFN were able to broadcast with little restriction with programmes available to civilian audiences across most of Europe (including Britain) after dark. As D-Day approached, the network joined with the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop programs especially for the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Mobile stations, complete with personnel, broadcasting equipment, and a record library were deployed to broadcast music and news to troops in the field. The mobile stations reported on front line activities and fed the news reports back to studio locations in London. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entertainment Radio Stations Live 24/7 Sherlock Holmes/CBS Radio Mystery Theater https://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441 https://live365.com/station/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater-a57491 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple from Forgotten Songs favourite Harry Parry and his Radio Rhythm Club Sextet- Black eyes and Blues for eight. Three from another regular, Harry Roy- They're building another alley for Sally, There's joy in your heart coming home and Sentimental interlude. Wingy Manone is back. Love this one armed, hot trumpeter and we even get his great vocals in Manone Blues. Also up Kay Starr, Joan Regan and Felix Mendelssohn- he's accompanied by Roland Peachy on steel guitar. Humour, dated, from Clown Argo and Co and a comedy skit called a Gale in the night. Can find out nothing about them. Really quite bizarre is Alfi and Harry with The trouble with Harry. Its the conceit of Ross Bagdasarian, songwriter and producer at Liberty Records. Not out right funny but rather cool. Bagdasarian had a big hit with Witch Doctor under the name David Seville. Freddy Mills, world champion boxer 1948-50, gives us a selection of singalong party songs. An all round celeb, films, TV and adverts, he was also a business man. He was found dead in his car in 1965. Verdict suicide, almost certainly murder. A much happier story is Ethel Smith, an amazingly good organist, who lived to 93. She gives us her biggest hit, Tico, Tico. Next a real oddity on a hand written MSS record label. They were the company that supplied record pressing equipment. What's the story behind this metal 78 of Get ready, get set, jump. Was it a sly pressing for a friend? A sample? Andy Iona, sounds Scottish but he was Hawaiian. Composer, writer and played steel guitar and saxophone. From him- Indebted to you. Lovely vocals on this track. A bonus record too, Charlie Barnet. Stay safe, stay positive.

Rock Island Line the song that originated in the USA and came over to UK to be sung by Lonnie Donegan. We have a 45rpm sneaking in. A local song, not even Edinburgh its Leith and from the 1980s, its certainly forgotten and its a mystery artist- J Sutcliffe. Wingy Manone and Mugsy Spanier. Great names, great tracks. Two from Eartha and one from Patti Page. On a bit of a toe curling note, Matty O'Neil sings ' Don't sell daddy anymore whiskey.' A baby cries all the way through it! 'Just wee deoch an' doris,' in Scots and celebrating the more cheery side of a wee dram. That's from 1912. Sugar Chile Robinson. A child star that sang to two US presidents, 70 years apart.
