at the ballroom Jeff at make Believe Ballroom Radio dot com,

74
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.480
Jeff at make Believe Ballroom Radio dot com. And I'm

75
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:02.120
gonna sprinkle a few of these correspondents across the broadcast. Also,

76
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.960
I must mention that quite frequently we get Facebook comments.

77
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.240
I just received a very interesting one. It was spread

78
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.080
out over many comments and comes to us from Richard

79
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:20.879
Oliver aka Tiles Tiles Tiles. I'll try to put the

80
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.720
string together, he writes. Here in Arizona, we are two

81
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:30.000
days behind New York, but play you every day. I

82
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.720
assume you mean our broadcasts on Jazz ninety point one.

83
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:40.000
He goes on Love Your Show and was turned onto

84
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:45.200
it by my bff Lori Butner while visiting in Rochester,

85
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.720
New York. I was in the United States Air Force

86
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.519
five hundred and forty first band unit for ten years.

87
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:57.320
Our Air Force band played many USO gigs, and my

88
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:02.000
favorite song was Begin the Beginning, which I was featured

89
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.279
on with my clarinet and listen to this. Folks still

90
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.399
play it for fun at ninety five years of age.

91
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.320
Well bless you, sir, that's just amazing. Before the United

92
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.759
States Air Force I played with Mickey McMahon until he

93
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.080
broke up the band and went with Lawrence Welk and

94
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.639
was the only bald headed trumpeter playing in that band.

95
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.840
So thanks for the Facebook comment and for you, Richard Oliver,

96
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.879
I have lined up two pieces of music. First, let's

97
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:43.159
listen to Mickey McMahon and one of his wonderful trumpet solos.

98
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:49.399
This taken from a nineteen seventy three Lawrence Welk TV broadcast.

99
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:55.440
Thank you very much. Now, many beautiful Latin songs have

100
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.679
become very popular in the United States under different titles

101
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.799
than the original ones. Here's a good example. For instance,

102
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.240
this song with the Spanish titled trace polabors which means

103
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.600
three words, is probably better known as without You. And

104
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.639
here's a fine arrangement featuring our lead trumpet man, Mickey McMahon.

105
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.559
And Sad.

106
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.559
Now in tribute of the time you served as a

107
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.360
clarinetist with the United States Air Force five and forty. First, band,

108
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:48.159
I take us to what was undoubtedly the most famous

109
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.480
of all World War Two military bands, that being the

110
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.159
wonderful Army Air Force Band under the direction of Glenn Miller,

111
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:04.720
band that gave over eight hundred performances before tragically Glenn

112
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:09.399
went missing in action over the skies of Europe on Tuesday,

113
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:14.279
December the twelfth, nineteen forty four. Let's play a little

114
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:19.679
Glenn Miller and the Army Air Force Training Command Orchestra

115
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:21.360
with a double dip.

116
00:16:01.120 --> 00:18:58.279
Then, Sid, it's you.

117
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.200
We just heard Glenn Miller and the Army Air Force

118
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.440
Band on a v desk with everybody loves My Baby

119
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:40.119
and as a bonus, stomping at the savoy. And I

120
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.880
want to thank you Richard Oliver for your wonderful and

121
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:49.440
interesting Facebook comments. Let's play a record, then we'll go

122
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.960
to another correspondence from a listener.

123
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:42.799
Story Theory.

124
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:59.480
On Vocalion Records, recorded in nineteen thirty eight. We just

125
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.960
heard he Stone and his orchestra with a spooky swinger

126
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.759
titled the Goblin Band. I'm Jeff Presler. This is the

127
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.480
weekly edition of the Make Believe Ballroom. Just quick reminder,

128
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:17.119
shortly after our radio shows are aired, they are put

129
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:22.920
into podcast form at MakeBelieve ballroompodcast dot com. That's Makebelie

130
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.440
Ballroom podcast dot com, where over two hundred shows are

131
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:33.400
available for your listening pleasure. And now our next correspondence

132
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.359
this week is from one Joseph Wink who listens on

133
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:44.160
KPOV in Oregon, and he writes, I love your program.

134
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.720
It lulls me to sleep. I really don't know how

135
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.599
to take how to take that one, Joseph. A while back,

136
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.440
you played Sonny dot Dunham playing the trumpet on a

137
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.720
Casa Loma orchestra recording. Can you play a record by

138
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.240
Sonny Dunham when he led his own band in the

139
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:09.079
nineteen forties. Of course I can honor that request, mister Wenke,

140
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:14.559
with one little cafayat that being that you don't fall asleep.

141
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.240
Here's a little timely tip from Sunny Dunham and the boys.

142
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.480
I tell you to hold everything.

143
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.680
Move.

144
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.279
Moment.

145
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.200
Can you remain.

146
00:25:10.480 --> 00:26:04.039
The thin.

147
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:38.200
Coco Sonny Dunham and his orchestra hold everything? Recorded for

148
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:43.839
a McGregor radio transcription in nineteen forty two. And if

149
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:49.240
you're still awake, Joseph Wenke, thanks for the request. And

150
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:54.000
now folks back from his cruise to Ports Unknown, getting

151
00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:58.000
his sea legs back the salty producer emeritus of the

152
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:03.200
Make Believe Ballroom, mister Excitement himself, Lenny from Down the

153
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.640
Block with his record pick of the week.

154
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.720
Hi gang, Lenny from down the Block. Here with my

155
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.519
record pick of the week. While The Make Believe Ballroom,

156
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.079
hosted by Martin Block was thriving in New York City

157
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:21.359
in the nineteen thirties and forties, it was the Al

158
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.400
Jarvis version, emanating out of Los Angeles that really got

159
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:28.720
the ball rolling. The Al Jarvis version of The Make

160
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.559
Believe Ballroom made its debut in the summer of nineteen

161
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:36.400
thirty four on KFWB radio. Like the New York show,

162
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.759
it was wildly popular with listeners. In the early nineteen forties,

163
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.079
Black artists were so grateful that Jarvis were playing their music,

164
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.880
while most stations weld not that Lionel Hampton and Nat

165
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.640
King Cole collaborated on a song paying tribute to Jarvis

166
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.359
and his Make Believe Ballroom. The tune was released on

167
00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:01.079
Victor Records July seventeenth, nineteen forty, featuring the Lionel Hampton

168
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.759
Orchestra and the Nat King Cole trio.

169
00:30:30.599 --> 00:32:30.640
Jobs Shot Dogs, Jack Jobs, Job.

170
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:41.920
Javas Dude that dude, And the song Lenny just played

171
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:47.519
was Jiving with Jarvis, a recognition of the role Al

172
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:53.000
Jarvis played by spinning records from black musicians on the radio,

173
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:59.119
a concept that was unfortunately pretty much unheard of for

174
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:03.920
most of the big band era. So thanks Lenny, and

175
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:07.079
we really should do a tribute show to Al Jarvis,

176
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:11.160
true founder of the Make Believe Ballroom. And well maybe

177
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:17.279
we will on an upcoming program. And folks, I think, now,

178
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:23.079
why don't I, as I frequently enjoy doing, play another

179
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.559
tune if I have it in the playlist that was

180
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:33.480
just like Jiving with Jarvis, also recorded on July seventeenth,

181
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:40.920
nineteen forty. So as I study that list, I see

182
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:46.200
I see a Jimmy Dorsey record featuring the beautiful voice

183
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.720
of Helen O'Connell, which was also released on that date

184
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:55.359
from Decca Records. Let's see if we have it in

185
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:01.359
the playlist, and we do so here is the Jimmy

186
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:05.640
Dorsey Orchestra with Helen O'Connell and another Jive tune.

187
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.039
I know what little junction on the railroad track.

188
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.960
It isn't very fancy, just plain old check you find

189
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.360

00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:26.920
July the seventeenth, nineteen forty hep t Hoody. Let me

215
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:31.079
mention while I'm thinking about it, since many of you

216
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.519
ask how I so quickly come up with tunes that

217
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.920
were recorded on the same date, just like I did

218
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:41.239
with HEPTI hooty well. I have a number of computer

219
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:44.960
screens going here on the console in the crystal studio

220
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:48.119
of the Make Believe Ballroom, and one of those screens

221
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:51.320
is always focused on a website that any of you

222
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:58.519
can reference. It's called Discography of American Historical Recordings, and

223
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:02.960
that site is maintained by the University of California at

224
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:08.199
Santa Barbara. It's a great resource for any of you

225
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:12.760
dedicated record buffs out there, and you can google it.

226
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:18.559
Discography of American Historical Records. I use it all the time.

227
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.679
We played two with the Little Jive. Let me play

228
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:27.679

On Vocalion Records, released back in nineteen thirty nine, The

268
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:26.760
Cab Callaway Classic hip Hop, the Jumpin' Jive and I'm

269
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:31.440
not jumping because in order to do the make believe Ballroom,

270
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:34.960
I must sit and pay attention at the console here

271
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:38.440
in the Crystal studio to bring you the recordings of

272
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.440
so many popular tunes of the big band era. And

273
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:46.679
now to the next email, which uh well, which actually

274
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:51.559
it actually hammers me. It reads a Jeff, your old

275
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:55.719
friend from Michigan, Lionel. I listened to the show each

276
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.159
week here in Ipsiliathy, not on a US station, but

277
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.800
rather on nineteen forties UK radio in Great Britain. Wake up,

278
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:09.719
old chap. You promise to play at least one British

279
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:13.440
band leader per program, and your record over the last

280
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:17.960
few weeks is nil. Time to get back into the game.

281
00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:23.079
And that's from Lionel in ifsil anthe Michigan, who frequently

282
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.000
writes to us here at the Ballroom. It's amazing with

283
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.519
internet radio, Lionel, who I'm not really sure whether he's

284
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.800
British or not, but nevertheless he enjoys getting his fix

285
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:40.719
of big band tunes on nineteen forties UK radio, where

286
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:44.800
I am proud to be a regular presenter. I do

287
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:48.079
admit I have lapsed, so let's see if I can

288
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:48.960

00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.480

00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:20.519
