I have no idea, but here it is: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wfuv/ ... 7&x=35&y=4

The playlist is not up yet, but since Ben Pollack is featured, am I correct in assuming that we'll be getting a fair dose of Scrappy Lambert, Smith Ballew, and Jack Teagarten?

[Rich Conaty]

Sadly Scrappy-free. But Ballew (with Pollack & BG), Jack Teagarden and Ben himself. Pollack's one of seven, so...

[Rich Conaty]

Wait! Scrappy sings "Won'tcha" right at the top.

[Andy Senior]

"Masquerade" (John Jacob Loeb/Paul Francis Webster) is such a lovely song, one of Al Gallodoro's favorites. You should play a complete version sometime.

[Rich Conaty]

I think I've got a version on ARC. Maybe a Will Osborne.

[Andy Senior]

I'll look forward to that. It's one of those great songs (like "Hour of Parting") that doesn't get heard/played nearly often enough.

[Goldie]

I'm always in stitches when I hear the song that Edward Pola co-wrote with Ted Kohler and Jack Golden, "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes." Sophie Tucker is magnificent!

. . .Since making whoopee became all the rage
It's even got into the old birdcage
My canary has circles under his eyes

He used to whistle "The Prisoner's Song"
Now he does Snake-Hips the whole day long
My canary has circles under his eyes

His only pals are the Meadow Lark
And just a tiny sparrow
But I am afraid when he's in the park
He leaves the straight and narrow

I raised this bird in a manner so strict
Now I feel certain I'm being tricked
My canary has circles under his eyes........
