Season 2 Episode 23-Bonus-for history fans only!

Presented here as another bonus episode is one of the very earliest of the transcriptions. Time was not kind to the disk, and indeed it is a scratchy, tough listen (almost so tough we didn't release it). Brace yourself though, and listen past the poor quality to hear "The Bob Bain Trio" (!). It's Bob on guitar and vocals, with Sheldon Smith on piano and Jimmie Stutz on bass. We get to hear Bob's interpolation of "Lady Be Good" as an intro, and for the first and only time, the announcer tells us the title. Next up, Cole Porter's immortal "Night And Day". That's followed by a popular tune of the time, "Managua Nicaragua" which had been recorded by Freddy Martin, Guy Lombardo, and Kay Kaiser. "The Anniversary Song" follows, with yet another of Bob's clever arrangements. Then, "a hillbilly tune" with Bob singing "That's How Much I Love You". The trio brings it home and really shines on a bop blues tune, "Mop Mop". "Velvet melody" indeed, with apologies for the Oxnard grit...
