This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

Episode 194

"TURN YOUR RADIO ON" FOR A CLASSICS & CURIOS BIG BAND THANKSGIVING!

Welcome again to a traditional Classics & Curios Big Band Thanksgiving
special, slightly edited from our Archives. If you're thankful for great
Big Band recordings from all the way back to 1929, this is a show for
you. Andy Griffith begins the show by asking you to "Turn Your Radio On"
as we "tune" into God, the generous Giver of our blessings. We'll begin
by jumping back to the 1940's as we listen to Evelyn Knight and the
Stardusters perform "Powder Your Face with Sunshine." This recording was
on "Your Hit Parade" for 15 weeks in 1948-1949, 2 weeks at number 1.
Evelyn had a bunch of top 40 hits and was a pioneer in early TV,
appearing on shows such as "The Ed Sullivan Show," "The Colgate Comedy
Hour," and "Abbott and Costello."

Peggy Lee blessed us with many songs, including one back in 1947 with
the title "It's a Good Day." This is a song that will pick up your
spirits and inspire you to sing right along with Peggy, who incidentally
wrote the lyrics. Not surprisingly it was on "Your Hit Parade" for 11
weeks. Peggy hit the big time with Benny Goodman, taking Helen Forrest's
place in 1941. Her first million seller was "Why Don't You Do Right" in
1943, and she went on to have top 10 hits in 3 consecutive decades. She
had success on radio (for example, "Chesterfield Supper Club" and "Jimmy
Durante Show"), wrote several song hits, and even mentored artists such
as Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra in the art of jazz singing.

Another feel good tune takes us into the snow season and gets us looking
not only at Thanksgiving but also toward Christmas. One of my favorite
bands had a really great instrumental version of it: Les Brown's 1946
recording of Irving Berlin's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," and Les
sent the tune on a "Hit Parade" sleigh ride serenade for 7 weeks. It
first appeared in the film "On the Avenue" with Dick Powell and Alice
Faye and was recorded first by the Mills Brothers in 1938. Later Les and
his band of renown performed the song on the Bob Hope's Show, and the
reaction was so great that Les' recording company, Columbia, asked him
to record it. His response was to tell Columbia to check its vault of
recordings because it was already there and had never been released. The
Lloyd "Skip" Martin arrangement made it a true classic, and the song was
one of the last great big band instrumental hits. Later in 1949-1950 the
amazing Mills Brothers put the song back on "Your Hit Parade" for 11
more weeks.

The Mills Brothers give us cause to give thanks for their countless
hits, many radio performances, and films. We hear them get softly
sentimental with a tune called "Put Another Chair at the Table." A loved
one coming home is a special heartfelt blessing, and the Mills Brothers
make the most of it, first, as a ballad and, then, in their upbeat
swing-touched style making us feel the joy of anticipation of reunited
loved ones, as when soldiers return home from war. No group could sing
better, ever!

Fred Waring was known as "the man who taught America how to sing" and
"America's singing master." President Reagan appropriately awarded him
the "Congressional Gold Medal" for his musical contributions to American
society. His Fred Waring Banjo Orchestra in the 1920's eventually became
Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians. His band performed "You Gotta Be a
Football Hero" on radio in 1933 to great acclaim, and he went on to sell
millions of records in the 1940's and 1950's. I especially enjoy his
early band recordings, and also his popular later choral works like "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic." One of my Mother's favorite songs was one
that she would often hum in the kitchen, and to her it told of her deep
love for her family. That beautiful song: "I'll Always Be in Love with
You." She first heard Fred Waring performing it on his 1929 recording.
Now she sings it in the Lord's heavenly choir, and the message is still
true.

As the great English author Thomas Carlyle said, "Music is well said to
be the speech of angels." So it follows that through good music angels
often remind us of precious past blessings and anticipate future
blessings together. Appropriately Andy Griffith sings "Precious
Memories" to end our show as we briefly celebrate Thanksgivings past and
present with some of God's blessings in music. My Thanksgiving wish for
you, in the words of a Meredith Willson song title, is: "May the Good
Lord Bless and Keep You."

On a personal note, I am especially thankful for our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ who enables us to sing and soar in His glory, grace, love,
joy, and eternal hope. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And please pray in the name
of the Lord for Paris and the USA! .
