[Earl Needham]

This whole thread seems to be about MUSIC, but I'm listening to "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar".

Ernst van t'Hoff und sein Orchester -- Du Und Ich Im Mondenschein (1942)
(You And I In The Moonlight)
For a German recording of the period this one really swings. It sounds almost like a comparable American or British Big Band as opposed to the more distinctive "German swing" sound.

I am listening to one of my favourite songs of the accoustical era.

Billy Murray and the Haydn Quartet - By the Light of the Silvery Moon

[video=youtube;iR3dG3iiNqo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR3dG3iiNqo[/video]

This is the first time I've heard it sung in its entirety. The whole song plays out like an old-time silent movie. Here are the original lyrics as sung by Murray and the Quartet, back in 1909:

Place: Park. Scene: dark,
Silvery moon is shining through the trees,
Cast? Two. Me. You. Sound of kisses floating on the breeze!
Act one, begun. Dialogue: "Where would you like to spoon?"
My cue, with you, underneath the silvery moon!

By the light, (By the light, By the light),
Of the silvery moon, (The silvery moon).
I want to spoon, (Want to spoon, Want to spoon)
To my honey I'll croon love's tune.
Honeymoon, (Honeymoon, Honeymoon),
Keep a-shining in June. (Keep a-shining in June)
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams,
We'll be cuddling soon,
By the silvery moon.

Act two, scene new, roses blooming all around the place;
Cast three, you, me, Preacher with a solemn looking face.
Choir sings, bell rings, Preacher: "You are wed for evermore."
Act two, all through, every night the same encore.

By the light, (By the light, By the light),
Of the silvery moon, (The silvery moon).
I want to spoon, (Want to spoon, Want to spoon)
To my honey I'll croon love's tune.
Honeymoon, (Honeymoon, Honeymoon),
Keep a-shining in June. (Keep a-shining in June)
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams,
We'll be cuddling soon,
By the silvery moon (The silvery moon).

Richard Diamond, Private Detective, "The ****** Hat Case ," July 2, 1949. Appropriately for a place called the Fedora Lounge, Rick has to track down a clue that leads him to a hat shop. "Yes," says the proprietor, "this is one of our custom orders." NYC, late forties, a time when men had their hats custom made.
