Notes: Ed O'Brien: "One of Frank's best Vimms shows. W.C. Fields had Frank
in stitches throughout their sketch. Bert Wheeler, who was Frank's comedian
in residence at the time, also had some funny exchanges with the Great W.C.
Sinatra came in late on "No Love, No Nothin'" and did a funny little aside.
Nice singing on the Kern/Gershwin and Rodgers and Hart tunes. The guitarist
on the Vimms shows was Tony Mottola."

And Far Away"
