Season 2 Episode 11-March 21, 1949

Lost to time is the reason why Bob's show went on hiatus for a month, and why it had been cut down to ten minutes instead of fifteen. But here for all time is yet one more example of young Bob and his quartet making great music, live, for broadcast. Despite the vagaries of the industry, Bob, Ray Sherman (piano), Jud De Naut (bass) and Ralph Collier (drums and percussion) held the bar high yet again in March of '49. After our "Sweet Georgia Brown" standard intro (with Bob's witty recovery at the end), the guys give a energetic rendition of "Crazy Rhythm", a tune that remained in Bob's repertoire for fifty years (we last heard it in Season 2 Episode 9). Dependable song star Margo Powers follows that with her mellow version of "Who Wouldn't Love You". The quartet debuts a Bob Bain original: "The Gal In Malibu" (we're just one Johnny Mercer lyric away from a classic). Margo returns for a confederate anthem "Dear Old Southland" (also heard in Season 2 Episode 9), before we wrap things up short and sweet with "Lady Be Good".
