Herbie Kay and his band out of Chicago, who signed on with the same guitar vamp on every number, play a take on Swing, Mr. Charlie that would have pleased even the most conservative midwest dancers in 1936.

Back to 1931 and Cole Porter's Love for Sale. Ben Selvin's Columbia players do one of their rare instrumentals - because the lyrics were widely forbidden at the time.

I have a 5 cd set of this artist on mosaic records ,and he is not as known as you would think perhaps because he's French, I don't know ?

Holy Mackerel! Kay's band is so square tha one might cut one's self on their edges.

Interesting to note that during the Kay band's stay at the Edgewater Beach Hotel they were replaced by
the Fletcher Henderson organization on Saturday evenings. In 1936 Henderson sounded something like this:

Must have been something of a culture shock for the staff.

I think that ad is actually for the Chermot Ballroom in Omaha, surely a one-night gig for both bands.

Oh, I misread it. that makes much more sense.



Herbie Kay's reminds me of a slightly club-fotted version of Emil Coleman dance tunes

Herb must have thought he could get away with interesting arrangements as long as they weren't played with too much beat.

While working this afternoon I had the pleasure of listening to a bit of Rocky Jordan. You can always count on some mystery at the Cafe Tambourine.

One of those songs that reminds me so very much of my high school years. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

She weren't much to look at, she weren't much to ride
She was missing a window on her passenger side
The floorboard was patched up with paper and tar
But I really was something in my old yellow car

An American boy with his hands on the wheel
Of a dream that was made of American steel
Though the seats had the smell of a nickel cigar
I really was something in my old yellow car

Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel
There's a rusty old shell automobile
And if engines could run on desire alone
That old yellow car would be driving me home

There's the seat where poor Billy threw up on his date
And where Larry and Sally could no longer wait
There was no road too winding and nowhere too far
With two bucks of gas and my old yellow car

Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel
There's a rusty old shell of an automobile
And if engines could run on desires alone
That old yellow car would be driving me home

Take a look at me now throwing money around
I'm paying somebody to drive me downtown
Got a Mercedes Benz with a TV and bar
And, God, I wish I was driving my old yellow car
God, I wish I was driving my old yellow car
