(*Ish Kabibble: comedian/cornet player: vocalist in You'll Find Out (1940)
performed with Kay Kyser on the television quiz show Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge in 1949 and 1950.
In his autobiography, Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his comedic songs,"Isch ga-bibble." The song derived from a boy named Ben, who thought the word was cool. "Ishkabibble?", which was purported to mean "I should worry?", prompted a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association of the comedian with the "What, me worry?" motto of Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman/ "ische ga bibble" is not Yiddish, and, in fact, contains no Yiddish words at all.
Although Bogue's stage persona was that of a dimwitted person; he was a notable cornet player and was also business manager for the Kay Kyser Orchestra from 1931 to 1951.
Some maintain that Jerry Lewis lifted his comedic persona and look from Ish Kabibble.disappearing behind secret panels the next.
According to Kyser guitarist Roc Hillman, Kay insisted on including the disclaimer,'This stuff doesn't really happen, it's all in fun...'because he was worried that some of the littler theater patrons might not understand and be scared.The film features what was at that time a new invention: The Sonovox.
This device is first used by Bela Lugosi, secretly haunting the house from the basement.
Once all is said and done, Kyser's orchestra uses the Sonovox for their closing big band number...
Record Making With Duke Ellington (1937) TRAIN EFFECTS ?SONG
This promotional short for Irving Mills' short-lived Master and Variety labels not only gives us a glimpse of Ellington and his band in the actual Master/Variety studios (as opposed to a soundstage set), but is one of the very few film accounts of how records were recorded, plated and pressed in the long-ago age of analog, shellac and 78 rpm. Narration is provided by pioneer radio announcer Alois Havrilla.Betty Boop/Louis Armstrong - You Rascal You (1932)

(HAPPY THANKSGIVING!) THOMASCOW: RING OF FIRE (June Carter - Merle Kilgore) + BIRD ON THE WIRE (LEONARD COHEN): WRITERS
Thomascow`s version of “Bird on the Wire” may now be viewed and heard right here, it is a Leonard Cohen 1960’s song Cohen recorded it in September 1968 in Nashville and included it on his 1969 album Songs from a Room. Judy Collins was the first to release the song on her 1968 album Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Many have recorded it since including Johnny Cash to whom the song and style are very favorable.
Enjoy Other Johnny Cash songs covered by Thomascow.The nearest thing to heaven
June Carter teamed with Merle Kilgore and her husband Johnny Cash in 1962,she came upon a book of Elizabethan poetry that had been her uncle A.P. Carter’s. and had noticed that he had underlined the words Love is like a burning ring of fire . Thinking it a great line for a song she and Merle wrote “Ring of fire” for Anita Carter who recoded it in Nov 1962. But Johnny wanted the song. Johnny Cash heard Anita's record and awoke one morning from a dream in which he had heard Mexican horns on the record. He told Anita "I'll give you about five or six more months, and if you don't hit with it, I'm gonna record it the way I feel it." Now it is history, the Carter family are famous from the very start of recording days when in the 1927 they first started recording their work mainly composed by A.P. Two of my favourites are “”Keep on the sunny side & The Wabash cannonball” Over 15 years they recorded 270 songs plus.
