Season 2 Episode 17-May 2, 1949

"We're on the air!" says an anonymous voice right at the top, and so we are, once again. Bob took a couple of weeks off-recording in Les Paul's living room for one thing (more on that later!)-but he's back on his regular broadcast for at least a couple of weeks. We get a new announcer (John Storm?) but Bob, Ray Sherman, Ralph Collier, and Jud De Naut return once again, starting off with "Sweet Georgia Brown" and then into a samba, "Tymbales" with Ralph's propulsive percussion killing it on congas. Dear Margo Powers returns once again and this time sings a lovely new ballad, "Again", with Ray doubling on organ. The quartet plays the bop version of "Honeysuckle Rose" (and listen to Ralph on vibes!). Margo comes back for "A Wonderful Guy" (Ray back to the organ) to close out our ten minute piece of beauty. Soon Bob's career takes off and he will leave the comfy confines of the radio studio behind, but don't worry: we'll have a whole new season's worth of rare recordings, outtakes, acetates, and guest appearances. Stay tuned!
