This Week's Classics & Curios Show:
"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"
Episode 154
EDDIE HUBBARD & THE BROWSERS: "THAT SENTIMENTAL SANDWICH"
Another Browsers show headlines this episode with songs like "That
Sentimental Sandwich" by Dorothy Lamour, "All of Me" by Jimmy Dorsey, "7
Lonely Days" by Georgia Gibbs, "Pennsylvania 6-5000" by the New
Modernaires, and "I'll Be Seeing You" by Bing Crosby.
Top trivia questions include challenges to identify the original
Modernaires, to name the "Road" movies made by Bing, Bob, and Dorothy,
to come up with names of bands for which Glenn Miller worked as
arranger, and to identify Phil's "Phooler" by identifying the female
vocalist who sings "I Don't Want to Walk Without You."
Also, enjoy more of Eddie's Extras like "That Old Black Magic,"
"Midnight in Moscow," and "Plantation Boogie."
Here's my own trivia question about the Crosby and Hope "Road" movies.
There was another such movie planned for the duo in 1977, but Crosby's
death intervened. Can you give the title of the "Road" movie that never
was? Well, the title of that film was to be "The Road to the Fountain of
Youth." It would have been the eighth "Road" movie. Here's still another
question: What "Road" movie was the only one the boys made in which they
did not pull their patented "patty cake" routine? The answer: "The Road
to Utopia."
Concerning the Modernaires, here is a little background that could be
part of more trivia questions. They began as a trio in 1935, the year of
my birth, and later added a fourth singer and sang with the Ozzie
Nelson, Fred Waring, and Paul Whiteman bands. They hit the big time when
they joined Glenn Miller in 1939. Paula Kelly joined the group in 1941
after which came some of their most well known hits, such as "Moonlight
Cocktails", "Juke Box Saturday Night," and "Kalamazoo." Check out more
about the originals and the new group at the official web site
