Burton Cummings:

This one might work.. The Guess Who: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3BsmFLnBbI

You're welcome, Metry! I don't know about others here, but I find Hawaiian music very enjoyable. Here are a couple of favorite Hawaiin performers: Kalama's Quartet: Sol K, Bright's Hollywaiians: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XI_BEfDhjs

The only known movie footage of Bix Beiferbecke (from a 1928 Movietone newsreel with Paul Whitman's Orchestra.) you can see him stand and play at the 1:10 mark The music of Bix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgALpTGdJMY

The Dimensions:

More for the day.. Sister Rosetta Tharpe: Pace Jubilee Singers: Roy Acuff:

In keeping with the day.. Bukka White: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ci-SVadWiE Birmingham Jubilee Singers (great acapella singing):

I'll add these to the "body count" KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS (1949) A SLIGHT CASE OF MURDER (1938) THE GAY BRIDE (1934)

I was not familiar with that song by the Foremost, I had heard "A Little Loving" by them... Another obscue one from that same time... Beryl Marsden:

Harold Lloyd's delightful film, THE KID BROTHER will be screend at UCLA with Carl Davis conducting the L.A. Chamber Orchestra, on May 20th. The orchestra will be performing a score Davis wrote for this film. The L.A. Chamber Orchestra has been putting on this event for the past 23 years and is always a fun event. Live music and classic films, a winning combination! If you are in the L.A. area, I highly recommend getting tickets for this event, it should be great fun!

Rory Storm & The Hurricanes:

Yes.

MANTRAP is on the Treasures boxed set with Paramount's permission. The same situation applies to REDSKIN on an earlier Treasures set. I am glad at least that these archives that make up the Treasures series have been successful in getting Paramount to license some of their silent stuff. Who knows what may appear in the nest edition of Treasures From The Archives?

A Susan Hayward day during SUTS would be cool! B-)

> Every time I hear it, I think of Novak/Holden.. that's how it should be..

I haven't seen all of her Paramount talkies yet, but so far my favorite Paramount Bow talkie is NO LIMIT (1931). She seemed a bit more relaxed in that one

Like that Sinatra version too. Good choice! Yes, I thought about using "When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain", but I thought it was a little too obvious. "Makin' Faces At The Man In The Moon" was the flip side on the 78 rpm issue of "When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain" when it was first issued in 1931. Wanted to add one more moon song: Ethel Waters:

Yes, Marvin Harley and LeRoy Shield wrote some great music for the hal Roach studio. More about the moon: Kate Smith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3JUsu8Xv48 Ethel Ennis: Artie Shaw & Peg LaCentra:

Here's a few more for the moon theme: "The Moon & You": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5bRX1k2g9M "Moonlight Becomes You": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC5aLXjdPTw "Moondance": "Blue Moon of Kentucky": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2XuvtDmhzE

Hi, Casablancalover, It is a beautiful morning here California! B-) Glad to hear that things are staring to return to "normal" there in SWFL. It appears that both coasts seem to attract the crazies (we've got our share too), must be the great weather that attracts them. Hope you're enjoying your morning. The Beatles:

1.) Great to have you back Bronxie! Sounds like it was quite the adventure! 2.) Wendy, the 1928 version of THE MAN WHO LAUGHS is a really good film. It takes place in England around the time of Charles II, rather than in Venice. Conrad Veidt does a superb performance. The makeup he had to wear in order to have the joker-like face made it nearly impossible to speak, so he had to convey much of his emotions with his eyes. Bob Keane, the creator of Batman, was a kid when he saw this film and was later inspired to draw the Joker based on Conrad Veidt's make up for TMWL. KINO released it on DVD a few years ago (there was a nice restoration done on it), it is complete w/ its original musuc score from Vitaphone typre sound discs.

Kanui & Lula (Hawaiian performers, recorded in Paris in 1936). Great guitar work! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpHfvSItCU Just picked up a 78 rpm copy of this record today at a flea market.

The Swan Silvertones, fantastic acapella for Palm Sunday (It's still Sunday here on the West coast)

Nice! It is a good album. I'll add another fave from "Ram": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjBY1YVt28g

A couple of more faves by the Guess Who:
