Subject: [ourplace] Monday Morning Nuggets for August 29, 2016
With college students already back in town, and fall fashions starting to
show up in store windows, guess there's no secret about which season is on
the horizon. So, we might as well usher in fall with five more nuggets.
Don't forget, these will be the last ones until October third. As usual, the
Dropbox link comes first; then, the track list.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3177119/Nuggets0829.zip
01 Benny Goodman, King Porter Stomp (1985)
If my memory serves me correctly, this was first a hit for Benny Goodman in
the late 30s, when Harry James was still a member of his band. I found this
1985 version on Youtube. It was recorded about a year before Goodman died,
and perhaps four or five before James died. The clarinet and trumpet solos
in it demonstrate that it's possible for such accomplished musicians as
these to play with the same gusto no matter what their age.
02 Bonnie raitt - Thing called love
This was a late 80s hit for Bonnie, daughter of the late broadway theater
legend John Raitt.
03 Les Elgart Orchestra, The Dancing Sound, 1956
A part-timer at the Twin Cities' WDGY used this as a theme, and I liked it
very much back in 56.
04 Paul Evans, I was a Part Of The 50's
This one was recorded in the late 90s by Evans, whose 50s and 60s hits
included "Seven Little Girls."
05 Paul Evans, After the Hurricane
This was the last Paul Evans release I heard on the air. And I think Easter
Day (April 2, 1961) may have been the only occasion on which I heard it. It
wasn't that much of a hit, but I regarded it as one of his better efforts.
Enjoy your Monday and your week. And be back here October third for the
resumption of Monday Morning Nuggets.
