intelligently about this topic.

This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

Episode 87
SAMMY KAYE SHOWROOM
Back in the 1951 my parents took me with them to a Sammy Kaye appearance
at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha, Nebraska. That was not long after the
program we are about to hear was broadcast on radio. Sammy's "swing and
sway" music was my first live big band experience, and it truly set me
on a lifelong enjoyment of the music of Kaye, Goodman, Shaw, James,
Monroe, the Dorseys, Krupa, Heidt, Ellington, and so many others, some
of whom also played the Orpheum to our delight. Sweet or swing -- it
didn't matter what style!
So from May 16, 1949, this week's "Classics & Curios" features "The
Sammy Kaye Showroom," sponsored by Chrysler and announced by Jay
Jackson. Big bands for me reflected the tune "Powder Your Face with
Sunshine" with the line that goes, "The future's brighter when hearts
are lighter," for big band music has given my life sunshine and often
made my heart so much "lighter."
Appropriately, the first song on this "Sammy Kaye Showroom" is that very
song. Sammy tells the radio audience, "North, south, east, or west, it's
swing and sway time for tunes you like best." The orchestra goes on to
play a song for each geographical direction, with "Powder Your Face" the
opening song for the north and performed by "The Three Kaydets." For
folks in the west Don Cornell sings a song my mother often sang sweetly
in the kitchen, "I'll Always Be in Love with You." Southern regions
receive "A Little Bird Told Me," sung with enthusiasm by vocalist Laura
Leslie, and the east receives a swinging version of "I Got a Gal in
Galveston. Samy's "Kaydets" lend their smooth harmony to the swaying
throughout the fifteen minute program.
The "Chrysler Song of the Week" is a lovely rendition of "Galway Bay,"
sung by Tony Alamo and the Kaye Choir. This beautiful song includes a
poetic lyric of lighting "a penny candle with a star." A Chrysler
commercial at the start of the show claims customers will go, "Woo!" and
Ohh!" and "Ahh!" over the 1949 Chrysler cars, but it's more likely that
by the end of the show swing and sway lovers have already done so in
their hearts over the music of Sammy Kaye.

To HK's friends at OTR:
My husband passed away Mon., Aug. 12, 2013, of pancreatic cancer,
which had been diagnosed 14=
-15 months earlier. HK was a cheerful and optimistic patient,
really ill only the last 6 weeks.
Would someone want to advise me re: his OTR collection?
