the lights so the Make Believe Ballroom
and welcoming you into my Crystal studio for

9
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:19.200
a very special new season of programs
that I'm calling Ralphie's Record Club List.

10
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.799
I received an email here at the
ballroom a few years ago from Angelo,

11
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:29.040
a longtime listener from Naples, Florida, by way of Canarci Brooklyn, whose

12
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.840
parents Ralphie and Rose started a record
club inviting neighbors to their home every other

13
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:40.920
Saturday night from nineteen thirty five to
the mid seventies to share pot luck suppers

14
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:45.519
and listen and dance to the greatest
big band hits of the nineteen thirties and

15
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:52.560
nineteen forties, Ralphie in the Club
painstakingly compiled over the decades a list of

16
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:57.319
over seven hundred and fifty of their
favorite ranked tunes. So sit back and

17
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:05.480
listen as I bring you selections each
week from the legendary Ralphie's Record Club List.

18
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.159
Hi, Friends, and welcome,
Welcome, Welcome to get another edition

19
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:16.199
of the Make Believe Ballroom, heard
almost continuously on the radio since Martin Block

20
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.439
first took to the airwaves at w
Wendy W Radio in New York City back

21
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.159
in nineteen thirty five. And as
I said in the introduction, this new

22
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.759
season of the Ballroom is devoted to
Ralphie's Record Club List, comprised of seven

23
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.360
hundred and fifty big bad tunes that
Ralphie, his wife Rose, and his

24
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:46.520
record club members ranked and compiled over
close to I guess around seven decades.

25
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.400
Last week, during episode one in
this series, we had the opportunity to

26
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.240
hear Ralphie's Record Club List number one
nineteen. That was a nineteen thirty seven

27
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.520
recording of Red Norvo in his orchestra
I've got My Love to keep me Warm

28
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.319
with a wonderful Mildred Bailey vocal.
We played number seventy nine Cherokee, recorded

29
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:16.479
in nineteen thirty nine by Charlie Barnett
and his orchestra, the beloved I'm an

30
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:23.479
Old cow Hand ranking three hundred and
sixty ninth. That was Bing Crosby with

31
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.800
Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra back in
nineteen thirty six. We selected on the

32
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.520
randomizer number seven hundred and twenty eight
Bouncing with Bean Coleman Hawkins and his orchestra

33
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.199
back in nineteen forty, and we
concluded the show with Tommy Dorsey and his

34
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.840
orchestra Heaven Can Wait with the Jack
Leonard Vocal back in nineteen thirty five.

35
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.520
And as I said, there's number
one fifty two. So I played tunes

36
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.800
last week from the list ranking as
high as seventy nine two as low as

37
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.400
seven hundred and twenty the eight.
So for a first time show, I

38
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:09.039
think that was really a good trip
around the spectrum of the over seven hundred,

39
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.840
well exactly the seven hundred and fifty
tunes that Ralphie and the members of

40
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.720
his record club compiled in his home
in Canarsi, Brooklyn over the years.

41
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:26.040
So let's without any further ado see
where this week's selections rank. And I

42
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:32.480
picked those selections via our famous make
Believe Ballroom randomizer. And I've set up

43
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:39.759
in the make Believe Ballroom computer a
random program that has numbers one to seven

44
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:45.959
hundred and fifty included. I'm going
to randomly pick a number, play that

45
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.560
song, and then give you a
little background to the record. Some of

46
00:04:49.600 --> 00:05:00.079
the record reminiscences were reminiscing reminiscences,
Well they come from the back of my

47
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.160
my own failing memory. Others I
take reminiscences, others I take a quick

48
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.040
moment to look up while the record's
playing. So now, with the ground

49
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.120
rules all in place, let's spin
ye old randomizer and we come up with

50
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:27.279
the first sex selection for today,
and that is number number two, seven

51
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:32.800
to three. Geez. We played
one by Jimmy Dorsey and one by Tommy

52
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:40.600
Dorsey last week. This week,
randomly, we go back to Tommy Dorsey

53
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.040
with the music goes round and round, Tommy with his clam bake seven and

54
00:05:46.079 --> 00:06:33.600
then Edith Wright vocal. Come on
over here, boy, do you want

55
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.399
girl? Play something for me?
Oh? I don't know how to play

56
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.279
nothing. Well I'll show you now. Oh you blow through here? The

57
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:48.000
music goes down and around. WHOA
hold when it comes out, I push

58
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:54.720

goes down and around. Wobble hobble.

59
00:06:54.839 --> 00:07:00.519
Holdhen it comes out snap, push

62
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.560
when it comes out here, Hey, tell me what you got there?

63
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.319
That's what plant? What's he doing
with He's trying to show you how the

64
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.600
music goes around and around. Well, he can't show me how the music

65
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.600
goes around and around on a straight
instrument. I kick it, sid kick

66
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:54.040
it. You can kick it for
my mind. And now, Grandma,

67
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:09.319
I'm gonna touch it at some time
down sliding a non kicking. And now

68
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.639
we're going to put on a customers
chorus, and we want you all adjoining

69
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:18.040
lightly on this last rebrand. Oh, I blow through here. The music

70
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:26.040
goes round and a rive and it
comes up there. They pushed the first

71
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:33.919
valve down. The music goes down
on a ride and it comes up here.

72
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.200
Now push that middle valve down here. The music go down and around

73
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:46.840
below below below, WHOA listen to
the jails coming up boost that on the

74
00:08:46.919 --> 00:09:07.480
valve down. Other music goes round
and arrive when it comes up here the

75
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.639
music goes round and round made it
all the way to number one on the

76
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:22.360
weekly Your Hit Parade radio survey.
Its composers were Mike Riley and Edward Farley,

77
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.879
and the two of them, much
like the Hudson de Lange Orchestra,

78
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.799
had a band that included both of
them in its title name. It was

79
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:43.320
the Riley Farley Orchestra, and they
also recorded. Since they wrote it,

80
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.000
it was certainly justified that they would
record a popular version. Now. Tommy

81
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.440
Dorsey's Clambake seven, as many of
you might know, was a small group

82
00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:03.440
within Dorsey's big band and a wonderful
dix Land sound, and they played during

83
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:11.399
Tommy's regular big band performances, utilizing
some of his top talent from that orchestra,

84
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:18.639
like Buddy Freeman, pee Wee Irwin, I think Johnny Johnny Mintz was

85
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:26.320
in the Clambake seven, and of
course the legendary Dorsey drummer David tough So.

86
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.039
On Victor Records, that was the
music goes Round and Round. Tommy

87
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.639
dorsey Is Clambake seven vocal by Edith
Wright, recorded in New York City,

88
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.840
December ninth, nineteen thirty five.
Friends, As many of you know,

89
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.679
I had the privilege to present The
Ballroom on public and community radio stations over

90
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.759
several years. Remis Nissises reminiscence as
well. We'll look that up and straighten

91
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:58.399
it out a little. That's really
bothering me that I can't pronounce that properly.

92
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.960
But as I was saying, the
Ballroom was on public and community radio

93
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:11.440
stations over several years. But this
thirty minute news series is exclusively on podcast.

94
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.039
So if you're new to the Ballroom, also in podcast form, you

95
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.399
can listen to around two hundred of
our past sixty minute radio episodes. So

96
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.039
if you just search Make Believe Ballroom, and that's obviously how you found the

97
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.759
show. Now, just look in
the archives and you'll find all those old

98
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.720
great programs, and I certainly encourage
you to listen to some of them.

99
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.799
You'll receive a great education into the
music and history of the big band era.

100
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.440
And those shows were an hour long, and we had plenty of time

101
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.840
to go into the history of the
Big band era. I also received my

102
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.440
first email as a result of last
week's episode number one. It's from an

103
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.639
old radio listener and I will read
it after we play our next Ralphie's Record

104
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.960
Club selection. So we go back
to the make believe ballroom randomizer once again

105
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:15.600
for yet another virtual spin of the
wheel. It goes round and round and

106
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:22.320
it lands on number seven, three
nine, seven thirty nine, right near

107
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:31.679
the end of Ralphie's Record Club seven
hundred and fifty Tunes seven thirty nine.

108
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:37.039
Let's look this up. Wow,
this is a major shocker. Rhythm is

109
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:43.320
our business. Jimmy Lunceford and his
orchestra Ralphie in the Gang, I think

110
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.320
probably consumed a little too much punch
when they position this tune in the seven

111
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.919
hundred and thirty ninth spot. I
think it should have been much higher.

112
00:12:52.960 --> 00:14:07.879
What do you think? The rhythm
is all business. Rhythm is what we

113
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.600
sall. Rhythm is our business business
show as well. Now if you feel

114
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.840
blue rhythms, what you need if
you got rhythm show to succeed. Rhythm

115
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.600
is our business business show as well. He's the drummer man in the band

116
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:31.600
the Crawl beats on them drums in
the band oh Man. He does tricks

117
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:39.039
with the stakes boys in the band
all play hot legs. He plays saxophone

118
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.639
in the band in the shoe,
plays the saxophone in the band. Already

119
00:14:46.759 --> 00:15:09.039
goes up that scales. He didn't
fuck do that, dude. Daddy Molese

120
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:16.120
plays on the base in the van. Moles plays on that base in the

121
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.120
van. Now when he picks all
those strings, happleness you he brings.

122
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:31.200
He blows on the trumpet in the
man in the Steve blows all that trumpet

123
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.480
in the van. Oh, he's
a guy. It's a high makes you

124
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:58.200
think he's in this guy. Al
Rhythm is our fisiness. That was Jimmy

125
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.879
Lunceford in the with Rhythm is our
Business. And I always loved this record

126
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:12.279
and how Alto sacks Great Willie the
Lyon Smith handled the vocal by making it

127
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:19.799
very personalized, calling out various members
of the band. Also as a footnote.

128
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:30.600
And if memory serves me right,
this was legendary songwriter Sammy Conn's Yeah,

129
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:38.919
I'm almost sure very first ascap copy
right tune from Decca. Rhythm is

130
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:45.600
our Business Jimmy Lunsford and his orchestra
vocal by the aforementioned Willie Smith, recorded

131
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.879
in New York City December the eighteenth, nineteen thirty four, and as I

132
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:56.440
said, I'm shocked that this great
swinging record was mired in seven hundred and

133
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:03.159
thirty ninth place on the Ralphie Record
Club All Time I'm less Perhaps I'm shocked,

134
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.240
but certainly not shocked enough to have
to lay down and rest. And

135
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.880
I'm going to prove that to you
by sitting up here in my seat in

136
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:18.359
the Crystal studio and reading an email
I received last week from David Lesser,

137
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:26.400
who was a longtime radio listener who
heard the program on our Phoenix, Arizona

138
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:32.880
affiliate, and he responded after I
mentioned that I could be reached at Jeff

139
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:38.240
at Retro radioland dot com. That's
Jeff at Retro radioland dot com, and

140
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:45.759
Davy wrote, Jeff, great to
hear your podcast and know that the Ballroom

141
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.680
continues. On your old program,
you spoke fondly of Angelo in Naples,

142
00:17:52.680 --> 00:18:00.319
who's father Ralphie handled the record club
list that you are in this series.

143
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:07.480
Is Angelo still with us? If
so, how is he doing keep up

144
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.559
the great memories of a bygone era. I hope to hear you back on

145
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.920
the radio in Phoenix soon. That's
signed by Davy Lerner. Thanks for the

146
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.720
kind words, Davy. Yes,
Angelo is still among us mortals and living

147
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:30.960
comfortably in Naples, Florida and listening
to the podcast via his friend Lois,

148
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:38.359
who lives in his condominium community in
Naples, and she was gracious enough to

149
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:44.400
set him up so he could listen
in on these programs on his computer.

150
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.240
Angelo is now over ninety years old. My good friend and past producer of

151
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.359
The ball Room that many of you
I'm sure fondly remember. Let me from

152
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.519
down the block. He goes and
visits Angelo at least once a year.

153
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:06.400
Lenny now lives in Saint Petersburg and
he takes the two hour trek down to

154
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:11.960
Naples to check in on him.
I spoke to Angelo last month, as

155
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.680
a matter of fact, and told
him about the podcast, and he was

156
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.359
delighted, to say the least,
that it would be featuring in this season.

157
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:27.799
Ralphie's record club list and an answer
to your other question, Davy,

158
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.559
look for an announcement in the fall
about the possible return of The Ballroom to

159
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:42.519
terrestrial radio. I've had a few
non certainly non life threatening surgeries over the

160
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:48.920
last year or so and I had
to end doing radio each week for a

161
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.319
while, but I'm good, still
working and doing lots of stuff full time,

162
00:19:53.400 --> 00:20:00.720
including radio motor sports. But enough
of me and not off of Ralphie's

163
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:06.119
record club list. As we go
back to the randomizer and before I spin

164
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.359
the virtual wheel once again, Jeff
at Retro radioland dot com. Jeff at

165
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.200
Retro radioland dot com, if you
would like to shoot me an email.

166
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:22.000
Let's now shoot the virtual spinning wheel. And the next Ralphie record club number

167
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:30.720
is and we are staying deep into
the list with number five point fifty three,

168
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.960
and that tune is let me go
to the list. Now is the

169
00:20:37.240 --> 00:21:03.880
hour and the artist is Bing Crosby. The when we must say good bye

170
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:33.920

173
00:22:27.400 --> 00:23:12.400

goodbye you bes s wh over, oh

174
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:38.720
the ver me well you ritter your
live. Yeah, that was number five

175
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:44.680
point fifty three. Now is the
hour on Decker Records, Bing Crosby with

176
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:52.359
the Ken Darby choir, and this
record was one of the more shall I

177
00:23:52.440 --> 00:24:00.400
say quiet million selling number one records
for bang Now Is the Hour had evolved

178
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:07.599
from a nineteen thirteen Australian tune called
the Swiss Cradle Song, and over the

179
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:15.559
years it underwent several title and lyric
changes. Along the way. It was

180
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.240
recorded along the way by Gracie Fields, Aty Howard, Margaret Whiting, and

181
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:29.119
if I'm not mistaken, at one
time I heard a Charlie Spivak recording of

182
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:34.759
the song now is the Hour?
And during this half hour or so you're

183
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:40.240
listening to me Jeff Bresler from the
Crystal Studio in New York. And this

184
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:45.519
is to make believe Ballroom broadcast almost
continuous license. Martin Block took to the

185
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:52.440
airwaves at wnew AM in New York
way back in nineteen thirty five, and

186
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.640
this season we are currently bringing you
selections from Ralphie's Record Club List, a

187
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:04.839
list compiled by Ralphie from Canarci Brooklyn
and his record club cohorts. They started

188
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:11.680
compiling the list in nineteen thirty five
and they finished business in the mid nineteen

189
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:18.559
seventies. Seven hundred and fifty tuns
in the Ralphie Archives, all ranked by

190
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:29.200
members of the Record Club, and
next to the randomizer we spend and come

191
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:34.160
up with number one twenty nine,
number one two nine, and this is

192
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.480
a good one. The first time
in this series we listened to the clarinet

193
00:25:38.480 --> 00:28:42.960
of the legendary Benny Goodman with If
I Had You Up, If I Had

194
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.680
You Benny Goodman and a sextet recorded
in New York on the twenty eighth of

195
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.880
October in nineteen forty one. And
you heard, of course Benny Goodman on

196
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:59.079
the clarinet, Lou McGarty on the
trombone, Melt Powell on the piano,

197
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.880
Tom Morgan laying the guitar, Sid
Weiss the string bass, and Ralph Collier

198
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:11.200
drums. I think Ralphie and the
Record Club on this one we're right on

199
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.680
perfect placement at number one, two
nine. If you agree with the late

200
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:25.079
Ralphie from Canarsinas Club members for their
rankings, or if you disagree, let

201
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:30.279
me know. Jeff at retro radioland
dot com. Jeff at retroradioland dot com,

202
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.640
I think we can all agree though, that it's time for another record

203
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:41.200
and hence time to spend the Make
Believe Ballroom randomizer once again, and this

204
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:49.960
time we come up with a number
number two two eight and wow, well

205
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:55.720
it's not called a randomizer for nothing. We've drawn Benny Goodman back to back,

206
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.680
Here with your heavenly here with your
heavenly thing. Excuse me. Vocal

207
00:30:00.759 --> 00:31:14.559
by Helen Ward and recorded in nineteen
thirty five. They took them all light

208
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:19.680
out of the sky and put them
on live, riding your eyes like a

209
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:29.480
tune night, your heavily thing.
They took the pragrams out of the dune

210
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:38.920
and sprinkle roses all over you like
gardens. Your heavily thing, thing made

211
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:47.200
of clinging. Fie your afraid,
start that shine light your face, to

212
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:53.680
combine everything on your list of order, bread up rings, and then they

213
00:31:53.799 --> 00:32:00.079
vanished, called it a day.
They took a model threw it away like

214
00:32:00.279 --> 00:33:04.720
an angels. Y'all heavilyving you're a
heavenly thing. Benny Goodman and his Orchestra

215
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:09.599
vocal by Helen Ward, recorded on
Victor Records April nineteenth, nineteen thirty five,

216
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.240
and ranked number two two eight on
the Ralphie's Record Club List. I'm

217
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:20.079
Jeff Bresler. This is the Make
Believe Ballroom, and we have time for

218
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:25.160
one more to honor my pledge to
keep these shows to write around thirty minutes

219
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.319
per episode. I also want to
mention I couldn't pronounce a word earlier on,

220
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.519
and I did stumble a couple of
times. But much like the Make

221
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:39.400
Believe Ballroom, when we did the
radio program on public and community radio stations,

222
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:45.759
we ran right through for an hour
in my tribute to the original Make

223
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.559
Believe Ballroom, which was live over
WNW. So, of course during the

224
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:54.839
program you might catch show one or
two of my little faux paus. But

225
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:08.480
that's radio. So let's spend the
virtual wheel and come up with number number

226
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:14.840
two seventy one. I get along
without you very well, Larry Clinton orchestra,

227
00:34:15.000 --> 00:35:10.119
b Wayne on the vocal. I
get along without you very well.

228
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:22.719
Of course I do, except when
soft brings falls and drew from leaves.

229
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:32.760
Then I recall the thrill of being
sheltered in your of course I do.

230
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:47.159
But I get along without you very
well. I've forgotten you just like I

231
00:35:47.519 --> 00:36:00.000
should. Of course I have,
except to hear your name or someone's left

232
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:08.559
that is the same. But I've
forgotten you just like I should. Oh

233
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:21.519
what a god, what a fool
lamb to think my breaking heart could kid

234
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:32.679
the mool What in store should I
fall once more? No, It's best

235
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:45.719
that I stick to my June.
I get along without you very well,

236
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:55.559
of course I do, except perhaps
in spring. But I should never think

237
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:34.800
of spring, or that would surely
break my heart. And to that,

238
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:42.360
Hogy Carmichael song peaked at number three
on Your Hit Parade, originally issued on

239
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.440
Victor Records. I Get Along without
You very Well Larry Clinton and his Orchestra

240
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:51.039
vocal by b Wayne, recorded in
New York City, January the twentieth,
