As the US heads towards the Truman vs Dewey election, Bob's show keeps the country on an even keel. Nick Fatool comes back to man the traps and a couple of the guys duet with Margo to sing "Sometimes I'm Happy". Margo takes over in the second tune with the rather old-fashioned perspective of "A Woman Always Understands" (with beautiful accompaniment by Bob). The quartet energetically revisits "Cumana", then Margo introduces us to a new ballad, titled "For Heaven's Sake". Bob gives this a gentle rhumba backing but ten years later Billie Holiday would sing this to a lush orchestral arrangement on her great album "Lady In Satin". The set closes out with a very hot version of "'S Wonderful". Stick around for the end of the "Lady Be Good" outro to hear Bob's musical wry grin. Engineers note: the balance on this show is definitely improved!
