Episode 8-September 11, 1948

September 11 of 1948 brought Roy Harte back for the fourth and final time behind the drums. The quartet strolls through their version of yet another pop tune of the hour: "Hair Of Gold, Eyes Of Blue", which Gordon MacRae had recorded for Capitol and made a top ten hit of. Margo Powers is not Lena Horne but vamps her way through "Stormy Weather" nonetheless. The quartet gives us a taste of yet another ethnic musical flavor with "Song Of The Islands". Margo saunters through "Just For Now" before the guys close it out with "Anitra's Boogie". Bob and the guys romped through this tune numerous times on the show, and Alvino Rey and Carmen Cavallero recorded it too, but when (Swedish) Charlie Norman (a skilled boogie-woogie pianist) made a popular recording of it, the (Norwegian) Edvard Grieg estate decided they'd had enough and sued. Don't shoot us, we're just the podcast!
