in Rochester, New York and other fine radio affiliates. I

25
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.319
welcome you all to the Make Believe Ballroom, the one,

26
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:59.959
the only, the original Make Belief Ballroom, broadcasting almost continuously

27
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.959
since nineteen hundred and thirty five. You know, I was

28
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.080
reviewing the music playlists from the Ballroom for the last

29
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.639
year or so. I do this often because I try

30
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.400
not to repeat songs too frequently. Well, I looked at

31
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.439
a show from right around a year ago and found,

32
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:25.520
to my amazement, that I played fourteen records. Now that's

33
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.560
a lot considering. I like to give you some history

34
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.960
of the bands who played the music and some notes

35
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.400
on the records. I usually play around i'd say a

36
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:42.319
dozen records per show, So just for you, my audience,

37
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.000
I went to the gym to work out extra hard

38
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.319
this past week to be able to keep up with

39
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.319
the frantic pace today of trying to break that fourteen

40
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:57.000
record barrier while still giving you some notes on each recording.

41
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.520
If you're ready for this hopefully record breaking show, so

42
00:03:01.680 --> 00:06:05.759
am I Let's count down three, two, one move on

43
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.720
Parlophone records. That was Balloonacy, recorded in New York on

44
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.279
October the fifteenth, nineteen thirty six. Lucky Millinder and the

45
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.600
Mills Blue Rhythm Band and the first record on Today's

46
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.759
Make Believe Ballroom as I attempt to surpass the fourteen

47
00:06:24.040 --> 00:08:19.199
record record of most songs ever played on the program.

48
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:24.879
By lot.

49
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.160
Bad lie let many.

50
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.480
It is lies.

51
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:45.600
Load e fool, But that is.

52
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:47.600
May that.

53
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:57.639
Don't look for said by that lie to lady. I

54
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:58.680
don't blame.

55
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:57.720
Them.

56
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.720
That was Teddy Foster and his Kings of Swinging with

57
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.200
a tune titled Harlem, recorded on British Decca in nineteen

58
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:43.039
thirty six. Teddy Foster, the great British trumpeter, vocalist and bandleader,

59
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.879
and that record was number two in my march to

60
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.480
reach or exceed fourteen records played on Today's edition of

61
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.159
the Make Believe Ballroom.

62
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.559
But then.

63
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:42.960
Remember anything.

64
00:10:47.679 --> 00:11:00.200
Very story.

65
00:11:02.120 --> 00:12:40.120
On couples in relay they diss.

66
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:12.440
On Parlophone records. The Ray McKinley Quartet with T for

67
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:17.720
two recorded in New York City on January the twenty first,

68
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.879
nineteen forty one, and a little different take in that

69
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:27.480
record on the Vincent Yeomen's composed with lyrics by Irving Caesar.

70
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:32.120
Classic T for two was introduced in May of nineteen

71
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.639
twenty four in the beloved musical No No Nenette, and

72
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.480
I had the opportunity to see one of the revivals

73
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.679
of No No Nenette on Broadway, and that was a

74
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.000
song three. As I continued to attempt to break the

75
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.879
make Believe ballroom record of fourteen records, the most ever

76
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.759
played on one show. So I now four jen wards

77
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.679
to number four.

78
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.240
We're the Swinger's combination.

79
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.159
We can give you information.

80
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.639
Listen carefully. If we'll explain how this little man made

81
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.720
his fame. We can swing most standing number from the

82
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.639
classics to the rumber bun two, three, four, five, six

83
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.360
men six little swingers sounds like ten. We can bast

Here we go.

90
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.600
In addition to playing piano, George's leader of this little man.

91
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.159
So I'll ask him to play in his own swinging

92
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:19.440
words a few bars off his own special brand. Harry

93
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.759
Owen blows the trumpet, play top C and he will trumpet.

94
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.360
Step up, Harry, hit him Hi, show the baby.

95
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.279
That's no lie.

96
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.559
Freddy Gardner is the sax man. He can charm the

97
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.399
income tax man. Step up, Freddy, make it hot. You

98
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:51.480
have have the public old you got. Jock Jacobson, he's

99
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.000
the next man. What a drummer and the facts man.

100
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.799
Step up, Jock Gee, what fun? Show the Bible how

101
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:08.279
it's done. Joe Young is the plectrum waiver, never known

102
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:09.159
to missic waiver.

103
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.919
Step up, Joe, let it go.

104
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:12.679
Give the public old you know.

105
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:21.200
Now.

106
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.679
John Fleming, nicknamed Snider, plays trombone and what a glider.

107
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.120
Step up, Slider, give us tone that with your old trumbone.

108
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.000
Then Dick has got plays the base note, slaps an

109
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.600
odd one, flocks the gte note. Step up, Dick, swing

110
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:59.879

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:06.359
Harry read joke, Joe lived.

112
00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:12.920
Dick on Columbia records. Meet the Boys Scott Wood and

113
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:17.720
his Six Swingers, recorded in London, June the second, nineteen

114
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.279
thirty six. Our fourth tune as we head to fourteen

115
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.160
and beyond, and I just want to mention, as with

116
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:29.440
Teddy Foster, who we heard earlier I'm trying to mix

117
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.599
in some British big bands on today's Make Bully Ballroom.

118
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.960
I'm also trying to select some records you might have

119
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.079
never heard on this program. And I know that record

120
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.440
was the first George scott Wood record I ever played.

121
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.200
That was tune five of fourteen or more.

122
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:53.240
Sagon Kill Lee can c.

123
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:48.680
American American.

124
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:54.400
We just heard on Victor Records, Sold American. Glenn Miller

125
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:58.640
and his orchestra recorded me the twenty third, nineteen thirty eight,

126
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.319
and the song Sold American in its own way was

127
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:08.960
actually an advertisement. The title was based on an American

128
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:14.519
tobacco company radio ed jingle that was played frequently on

129
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.000
different radio programs in the nineteen thirties for Lucky Strike cigarettes,

130
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:23.759
and it featured a tobacco auctioneer's chant that was delivered

131
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:29.480
by North Carolina tobacco auctioneer Lee Aubrey speed Rigs, and

132
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:35.000
his pattern is auction Pattern ended with the fray Sold American,

133
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:39.920
stressing I guess that American only purchased the highest quality

134
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.839
tobacco for its cigarettes. I'm going to lose some ground

135
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.759
here on the race to fourteen songs, but I used

136
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:49.720
to be an auctioneer, and I have to play auctioneer

137
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.440
Lee Aubrey speed rigs for you.

138
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:54.480
The Jack Benny program.

139
00:21:54.799 --> 00:22:02.640
Quality of product is essential to continuing success of five

140
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:08.079
sold American Lucky Strike means fine tobacco, so round, so firm,

141
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.039
so fully packed, so free and easy on the draw.

142
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.799
And now back to the turntable for number seven.

143
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.799
It's somebody Old River, but I'm going to tumble in.

144
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.119
It's some money old River.

145
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.400
But I'm going to tomball.

146
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:12.519
And when you lose your heart, that's when the blue begins.

147
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:20.000
Oh so long, Oh.

148
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.359
Geez, does.

149
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.960
Done me wrong?

150
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.359
When the good man.

151
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.480
Loves why does the bad man win?

152
00:24:03.000 --> 00:25:22.119
Bup on Columbia Records, one of my all time favorites,

153
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:27.839
Jack T. Garden, the outstanding trombonist, vocalist and bandleader with

154
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:32.079
his orchestra Muddy River Blues, recorded in New York City,

155
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.480
October sixth, nineteen thirty nine. And that was number seven.

156
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:39.640
We've come halfway in my attempt to play fourteen or

157
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:44.359
more records. On today's edition of the Make Believe Ballroom.

158
00:26:19.720 --> 00:27:25.799
Happening, she did.

159
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.799
The Benny Goodman Sex Tet with the Wang Blues, recorded

160
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.759
on Columbia in New York March the Tenth, nineteen forty two,

161
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:46.680
The nineteen forty two version of Benny's Sex Tet, featuring

162
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:50.720
Benny on the clarinet, Lou mcgarretty to trombone, Mel Powell

163
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.640
a piano, Tom Morgan on the guitar, Sidwei string bass,

164
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:58.240
and Ralph Collier the drums. I'm just looking at the

165
00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:00.400
big bull of a clock on the wall here in

166
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.319
the Crystal studio, and I think we're within range of

167
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:09.359
actually meeting or exceeding the fourteen songs. Let's see how

168
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:13.599
we continue to do with number nine of fourteen.

169
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.680
Way down south.

170
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:19.319
In Birmingham, I mean soul in all of bams and

171
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:26.440
old places where people go to dance the night of way.

172
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:33.240
They all drive, all walk for miles to get giants,

173
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:41.279
that Southern style slow giant that makes you want to

174
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:50.000
dance till break of days. It's a junction where the

175
00:30:50.160 --> 00:31:00.079
townfolks meets at each function. In their tongue, they a

176
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:07.640

So longtown, I'm heading for Tuxedo Junction Now.

182
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:33.400
A wonderful take on a song that Glenn Miller made famous,

183
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:39.519
Tuxedo Junction. This version featured pianist, singer, bandleader and composer

184
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:44.079
Erskine Butterfield and his Blue Boys, recorded in New York

185
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.359
on February the twenty first, nineteen forty and that was

186
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:52.599
number nine of fourteen. Let's keep on trucking with number ten,

187
00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.440
look at it my list, Audit Time. Audit Time actually

188
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.480
made an error. That was a song number eight of fourteen.

189
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.559
I can't stand the pressure. Now on to number nine.

190
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.920
The numbers.

191
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.559
That was the unmistakable duo of the Django Reinhardt playing

192
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:41.719
the guitar, Stefan Grippelli the violin, along with the Hot

193
00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:46.400
Club of Paris with swing guitars, recorded in Paris on

194
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:52.519
Victor Records, October fifteenth, nineteen thirty six. Definitely number nine

195
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:56.639
in our galactic battle to reach fourteen or more songs

196
00:35:56.719 --> 00:36:00.159

202
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:01.599
the record for most tunes ever played on one program

203
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:06.119
of the ballroom record is at fourteen. To tie that record,

204
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:10.280

When I hear that swinging rhythm, I love to swing

274
00:49:56.480 --> 00:50:00.760

I tied it.

298
00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:02.639
We hit fourteen records with George Hall and his orchestra

299
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:07.199
vocal by the wonderful Dolly Dawn. Brother Swing your Blues

300
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:13.199
Away for Thesaurus transcripts back in nineteen thirty eight. As

301
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:17.079
I attempt now to pat myself on the back without

302
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:21.760
injuring myself, I can finally jump out of the pressure cooker.

303
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:25.400
It's all gravy from here. Let's set the new record

304
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:28.119
of fifteen songs with this one.

305
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:18.840
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket.

306
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:25.840
I'm betting everything I've got on you. I'm giving all

307
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:30.840
my love to you. One baby, Lord help me. If

00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:40.719

311
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:52.719
eggs in one basket. I'm betting everything I've got on you, and.

312
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:33.039
We broke the record of fourteen songs, with this one

313
00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:37.079
being number fifteen, one that I have never ever played

314
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:41.519
on The Make Believe Ballroom. Paul Penn Darvas and his

315
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:45.440
orchestra putting all My Eggs in one basket vocal by

316
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.239
Eddie Scope. This one a McGregor radio transcript, much like

317
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:56.440
the Thesaurus transcript of George Hall, recorded in nineteen thirty six.

318
00:54:56.519 --> 00:54:59.079
And if we put all of our eggs in one

319
00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:03.719
basket right here on today's edition of the Make Believe Ballroom,

320
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:10.159
that's fifteen songs, breaking the fourteen song record of just

321
00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:16.039
about a year ago. So a quick check of the

322
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:19.360
Bulova clock here in the Crystal studio and it shows

323
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:22.079
I have about three minutes left, not enough time to

324
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:25.440
say goodbye and play a full record. So the current

325
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:30.039
a record record will stand at fifteen. And you know, folks,

326
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:32.960
I actually did feel the pressure. But this was fun

327
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:35.440
and I hope you enjoyed listening to all fifteen of

328
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:39.079
these fine tunes, many of them songs I never played

329
00:55:39.199 --> 00:55:42.280
or haven't played in a while. I am going to

330
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:45.920
make a note and the next year, at this same time,

331
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:48.719
I hope you will join me in a new quest

332
00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:52.880

333
