News I m Ari Shapiro and I m Elsa Chang Republicans are walking a fine line over how much to criticize President Trump there s the impeachment inquiry the pullout of u.s. Troops from northern Syria and a White House announced meant now retracted that next year s g. 7 summit would be at a trump resort some moderate Republicans met with Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney this weekend at Camp David that s one indication of how troubled some lawmakers are here s another Republican strategist Michael Steele who was an aide to former House Speaker John Boehner says his phone has been blowing up lately I asked him what concerns Republicans the most. The situation in Syria and the abandonment of the Kurds who had been such loyal allies and such a critical force and containing and what we thought of the time was defeating I says That was the thing that really really bothered Republicans the most does it feel like now calculations among Republicans are changing somewhat when it comes to whether they will call out President Trump on something I think congressional Republicans have been calculating the limits of his tolerance for dissent since he rode down that escalator 34 years ago now is the the hour of maximum uncertainty means it s the hour of maximum danger for people s political prospects and I think the smart move right now is to make like America stay underground if you possibly can America is that the thing that looks like a ferret Yes exactly I see but why do you think this is the maximum point of danger as you put it is it because just where we are in the election cycle is there something particular about this moment now I think that the Ukraine investigation and the fact that we are actually in an impeachment inquiry in the else even if the House Democrats haven t chosen to have a vote yet they are taking testimony the Intelligence Committee is conducting an inquiry I think that means that the administration faces a an existential threat in a way that they haven t in the past how would you counsel a moderate Republican right now the. Challenge here is that while independents are increasingly turning against the president the base of the Republican Party continues to remain very strong for him and so I think the way Republicans in tough districts or tough states have to thread the needle is by saying yes the president did something wrong I don t think you re in a very good position trying to pretend that he didn t but it does not rise to the level of requiring his removal from office when we re less than a year from the American people the voters getting to make that decision was that you think moderate Republicans or maybe any Republican suggest go ahead and embrace the idea that President Trump did in fact suggest a quid pro quo with the Ukrainian president I think that s the only way to deal with reality right now look I think that House Democrats have made a series of errors in this to investigation I think that it is a very poor decision to continue holding these hearings behind closed doors the idea that they are moving towards impeachment soley on the basis of the situation in the Ukraine is utterly untrue this is obviously the result of a series of investigations a series of outrages that they feel the president has committed but I don t think anyone is in a good position insisting that the president did nothing wrong when it came to asking the Ukrainians to investigate either this conspiracy theory that the d.n.c. Server wound up in the Ukraine following the 2016 election or that they needed to reopen the investigation of Hunter Biden s involvement in the energy company in Ukraine I want to play you something that President Trump said today the Republicans have to get tougher and fight we have some very great fighters but they have to get tougher and fight because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party for the election what do you think of what the president said and I think it s entirely in keeping in character with President Trump he always wants to be on office he never wants to concede error and I don t think that that s a very good strategy for any Republican candidate who does not have the the Teflon coating that President Trump as with with Republican voters in particular so do you think President Trump s insistence that Republicans hang together and fight this impeachment inquiry do you think that that is a strategy that could hurt moderate Republicans who don t have to run toting right now. You know I think he could definitely be a poor strategy because particularly if there are further revelations and it seems like another shoe drops every day or every other day in the situation that could be increasingly difficult to defend I don t think any House Republicans in a moderate district in a difficult to defend district or a senator in a state that could swing the other way wants to be Wiley Coyote and realize that there s no cliff under them anymore Michael Steele is a Republican strategist thank you very much for joining us today good to be with you there s been a lot of breaking news today on the opioid front 1st a major court settlement in Ohio and now talk of a tentative national deal valued at $48000000000.00 North Country Public Radio s Brian Mann is in Cleveland where these developments have been taking place and he s on the line with us now hi brian Hey there 1st there was the sudden settlement early this morning which resolves a lawsuit filed by 2 counties in Ohio that have been hit hard by the epidemic tell us what kind of help they re going to receive Yeah at the very last minute just before the trial was scheduled to start companies agreed to pay some attend Cuyahoga County has roughly $260000000.00 in cash and medications Eileen Shapiro is Summit County is executive and speaking outside the courthouse today she said you know these resources will save lives and also send a message to the drug industry we got people time we got people that are addicted we need to stop this and so that was the primary purpose and that s the way that it works with companies is that getting them to change behavior is through the pocketbook so there was a lot of hugging and back slapping there in Cleveland after this deal was announced there were there was no admission of wrongdoing in the settlement and the deal means that a lot of documents and evidence about the epidemic will not be released to the public how are people responding to that yeah on this point there s a lot of frustration and anger I spoke out side the courthouse also with Greg McNeil he s an opioid activist who lost his son Sam to an overdose in 2015 it s kind of a hollow victory because you have no admission of wrongdoing you know and I feel like if we had some admission here then you get a little bit of closure for a lot of things. Please out there that I will say that McNeil does agree that the money will help you you know with medical care and social programs for people who are addicted this was supposed to be a kind of test case this was a major trial that was going to hash out some of the big questions about who pays for the opioid crisis so what happens now that the trial is cancelled Yeah this was a bit of an anticlimax in that sense and there is uncertainty now even some of the attorneys who negotiated this settlement voiced regret that this didn t turn into the test trial they ve been building toward For months I spoke with Mark linear who s one of the attorneys for the 2 counties we don t have a chance to test the legal theories that are being used here to see if they are properly used to see where the limits are and the ballots are so what that means is that there are unanswered questions for all the other communities out there who are still suing the drug industry and as we mentioned there is another big news story on the opioid front today the framework for a national settlement was just recently announced tell us what that looks like and whether it s likely to be enacted Yeah this is kind of a moving target disaster noon a bipartisan group of attorneys general and 5 major drug companies say they ve reached a $48000000000.00 deal that resolves a lot of these opioid liability questions they say this is a plan that will end at least part of this big wave of litigation across the country here s Josh Pirro the attorney general in Pennsylvania if we can bring people together and there is no settlement if you will have random haphazard litigation and they need people across the country it will not be met Johnson and Johnson in particular has agreed to pay out $4000000000.00 in cash into this framework but now these attorneys general are going to have to convince a lot more states and local governments to suspend their lawsuits and sign on we ll see if they can pull that off that s North Country Public Radio s Brian Mann speaking with us on Skype thank you thank you if you never heard the name Pierre delectable Well we don t blame you his Twitter account opened in July of 2011 and it s tweeted only a few times. Seems almost always to defend Republican senator Mitt Romney yesterday we learned why P.R. s electo is Senator Mitt Romney Romney secret Twitter account 1st came up on Sunday when the Atlantic magazine published a profile of the Utah senator by staff writer McKay Coppins he decided to get out and grab this i Pad from the desk and said You know I actually have a Twitter account that separate from my official account he said he wouldn t tell me the name of it but he gave me a bunch of details the revelation was an irresistible to bid for Ashley Feinberg a writer for Slate who has a thing for unmasking secret accounts the confirmation that exists at all is sort of all we really need to see what s out there Feinberg started by combing through the accounts of Romney s family members pacifically their followers when she got to Romney s oldest granddaughter Feinberg noticed follower Pierre de Lector Oh an infrequent user with no picture no details but a lot of positive things to say about a certain senator from Utah he had 10 total tweets and almost every single one of them was either coming to the defense of Mitt Romney or asserting that actually Mitt Romney is very good Pierre Dellec tweeted to conservative figures like Erick Erickson with messages like wrong or don t read the comments ever he suggested that Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin take a breath after she called Mitt Romney spineless and the accounts Pierre followed were very Romney Mitt Romney s family Mitt Romney staffers even Mitt Romney fan accounts Slate published Feinberg s findings on Sunday night so McKay Coppins who wrote the article that started the whole thing reached out to Romney s communications director for comment she s handed the phone over to Mitt Romney who had a 2 word response which as same one same wa it s me Senator Mitt Romney admits to having a secret Twitter account and that he sometimes uses it to defend himself here electo here the elect So here is elected Oh he was just using it to monitor political Can I say she s on Twitter secret identities have always had a search. In the political world from Deep Throat to Carlos Danger before he was president Donald Trump famously called tabloids as John barren to plant stories and Ashley Feinberg has a track record here in March of 2017 she uncovered the secret Twitter account of then f.b.i. Director James Comey she says she expects these stories to just keep coming a lot of politicians probably because it s very unlikely they re running their official ones and they re clearly saying this stuff somewhere so to any high profile tweeters out there with secret accounts enjoy the masquerade while you re here.

News this is All Things Considered I m also Chang and I m Ari Shapiro Canadians are voting today on whether to keep prime minister Justin Trudeau as Liberal party in power the race is tight after revelations of scandals involving Trudeau David McGuffin reports from Ottawa there is a sense of relief that voting day is finally here and the campaigning is over it s been an election featuring moments like this a familiar American chant this time aimed at Justin Trudeau at a Canadian conservative rally. Conservative leader Andrew sure did put a stop to lock him up but overall this is been a campaign where the focus by the main party leaders has been on why the other guy isn t qualified for the job Here s Andrew Scheer over the last 4 years he has demonstrated time and time again that he is unworthy of that office. He is unworthy of the trust Canadians place in him to respect taxpayer dollars and safeguard our democracy against corruption his ongoing scandals and coverups that cause Canadian Sulu s face and the integrity of their government Trudeau scandals have included photos that emerged during the campaign of him wearing blackface as a young man and this summer he was found guilty of trying to pressure his attorney general to obstruct justice in a case involving a liberal party linked company it s all work to undo his reputation as a progressive leader pushing for change. Trudeau in return has showed his pledge against negative campaigning he has played on voter concerns about the Conservative Party s reluctance to tackle climate change and on their history a budget cutting Andrew Scheer would cut services for families and rip up Canada s only real climate plan taking back the money we ve been putting in people s pockets by making big polluters pay even with the negative tactics neither party has been able to break away from the other they went into today s election. Deadlocked at 32 percent in the polls Ah God the politician who appears to be benefiting most from this situation is jack me saying the son of Sikh immigrants the young charismatic leader of the left leaning Democratic Party has surged in the polls into a strong 3rd place showing his rallies have a youthful party like atmosphere very similar to what Justin Trudeau experience 4 years ago I ve heard from people who tell me their stories about not being able to find housing their stories about not having health care when they need it young people are worried about the environment and this campaign is really about letting their voices be heard letting their struggles their worries their fears be heard but also to give them hope I usually grey is among those young people impressed by saying she cast her vote this morning in the Pontiac district of come back just outside of Ottawa I look at all like the people are running as a lot of white people and there s that one man of color as early as Finally it s good to see that there s diversity that s starting to happen so it s giving me a little bit of hope while her mother Linda Jones is sticking with Trudeau I thought the Liberals did a pretty good job as they say with their climate action plan that s really where I was focusing my attention but David just may sum up the attitudes of many voters on this day little bit disappointed but last 4 years with the liberals I don t see myself with the conservatives either. But the other ones I mean I haven t seen any real solutions either polls indicate that is a prevailing attitude on this Election Day meaning a tight liberal or conservative win but without enough seats in parliament to form a majority government and smaller parties like Jack meet sings new Democrats could end up holding the balance of power for n.p.r. News I m David McGuffin in Ottawa. If in May you said the Houston Astros would make it to the World Series no one would have blinked they won the title in 2017 and they were one of the favorites to win again this year now if in May you said the Washington Nationals would make it to the World Series people with think you were drunk their star player left the team during the off season and the rest of the National started the year dwelling near the bottom of the standings for weeks but here we are not over with a World Series between a team everyone expected versus the team pretty much no one expected on the line with me now is David shining who covers baseball for The Washington Post Hey hi there so like we said in May The Nats were pretty much a total mess how did they turn things around Well I think they turned things around in a couple of ways number one by recognizing the talent level that they had and you know with a mixture of hope and optimism that it would turn around they had one of the most talented rosters in baseball and were underperforming they also had to get their bullpen straightened out that was killing them on a nightly basis they finally did and really they just believe there was no panic up and down the organization and it was kind of remarkable because you know a lot of everybody in town was calling for the heads of the manager people were speculating about which star players they were going to trade but they held it together and here we are you know 5 months later they re in the World Series Ok so at this point this might not be as big of a mismatch as it looks like on paper right I mean I think if you take these last 5 months since the bottom for the Nationals they have been as good as anybody in baseball including the Houston Astros you know I do think that there is a wide perception and probably not unsounded that the Astros are a better team but that underdog thing and that thing that the Nationals built up in May were nobody believes in us that think you carry you along way and you know the National certainly believe they are on equal footing if not better than the Astro. Ok So besides sheer optimism and hope how are they going to do that I mean the asters they won $107.00 games in the regular season they were pretty much unstoppable How do the Nationals to slow them down well the thing the Nationals have going for them is something that nobody the Astros have faced to this point have which is starting pitching that can go toe to toe with the Astros who have the best starting pitching in the American League bar none the Nationals clearly have the best starting pitching in the National League bar none and you know they hope they will be able to put a picture on the mound in every game of this series who is the equal if not the better of the Astros pitcher and you know it s kind of a throwback series in that way because in the last 10 years 5 years baseball has become more of a bullpen game and starting pitching has been minimized but these 2 teams are sort of throwback to the era where starting pitchers are pitching 7 even 8 innings in a game and it s a matchup of aces Okoro I was going to ask you that you know if you re someone who is not from d.c. Not from Houston what would be some of the things that just a casual baseball fan can look forward to in this World Series 1st thing you just mention is we have this battle of the pitchers anything else well you know I think that one thing that s really interesting about the series is just how it is these are 2 you know new money teams you know a Yankees Dodgers World Series would have been a classic old money baseball series of probably would have made the people at Fox t.v. You know very happy match up is going to draw a lot of eyeballs because of the legacies of those teams but you know this is just kind of a new money match up of 2 teams the Astros have never won a World Series title in their franchise history until 2017 the Nationals still have never won one in their existence Of course they only moved to Washington in 2005 but you know I think that s one thing that is interesting about this series that you know that there s just not the legacies.

Older Workers says you know a Labor Statistics are the fastest growing part of the American labor force people $65.00 and older which means we now have the most age diverse workforce we have ever had there are 4 sometimes even 5 distinct generations working side by side in this economy it works all right for the most part but when you remember we ve got more ways to communicate than ever before. Sometimes you end up with complications Marketplace s Megan McCarty Corrino has that millennial Stuart Horgan doesn t buy into a lot of the tired stereotypes about generational difference the operations manager at a tech startup in Boston has never taken a photo of his food and knows plenty of selfie obsessed boomers but when it comes to communicating with older colleagues he sees a big divide on one small point they use periods a lot which I didn t even realize this but they sound very stern like very final or even worse they ll do this thing where they and their emails are there is a messengers or tax with an ellipsis. Which for a millennial is just like the height of passive aggression even vaguely remembers one instance on a Friday afternoon when he said of the big presentation to a 56 year old manager and he just response Facts dot dot dot enjoy the weekend. And not completely ruin my weekend I definitely looked at the present a. For probably like 6 hours that we ve been trying to figure out what was wrong with that organised part of a generation that grew up replacing a lot of face to face time with text based communication so every last character is precious pregnant with meaning that s why he likes to use shorthand visual cues like gifts or emoji to clarify his tone but not everyone is on board insert the face. Not have language anymore 48 year old Gen x. Or Alex Markey likes to think of herself as hip with the young crowd she s worked as a project manager in gaming and entertainment the when it comes to the written word she s old school. Bothered to write. This reflect on. A recent survey from writing software grammar early found workers under $35.00 were 50 percent more likely than older workers to be told their tone was too informal even though more younger workers said they spent time agonizing over meaning tone and grammar in their emails miscommunication between different age groups is hardly a new phenomenon says Bob McCann a management communications professor at u.c.l.a. But the fast pace of technological change is deepening the divide between generations every 3 weeks we have a new platform that we need to do where there are a new app that s coming out and we have to adjust and we have to change he says communicating fluently over a broad range of channels from conference calls to group chats is becoming ever more important and sometimes that should include a Moji says that Burma c.e.o. Of workplace communication platform 8 by 8 and former smiley face hater started. If you say. The problem. Is massive. Changes it s all about context he says and tailoring communication not to fit the learned. Preferences of one generation or another but the demands of the task at hand so e-mail for deliberate complex thinking chat for shoot from the hip collaboration or phone for urgent matters and sometimes there s really nothing better than some good old fashioned face time like the real thing not the app the reason I wanted to talk to you today is about how you sign off most of your messages remember Stuart Horgan and his ellipses problem I asked him if he d be willing to meet with his boss Tom Murphy to get to the bottom of all those dots in the culture.

I mean we really have had a very. Year and harvest is late it s to late. To get it done before we would normally you know expect no one winner and just a lot of stress and people are feeling and then to you know just economic stress that we re feeling as a. People or people are not happy. Turns out of course the flooding and I. Supported market prices by cutting production. We can t sell as many soybeans 2 years ago. We sold one in 3 bushels we raised. Our culture sold one and we raised. And those those sales have. Were still selling. And that s when the price lower than it would have been otherwise so that s how it affects us.

It s $648.00. This is Marketplace I m Heather Long the economics correspondent for The Washington Post had a story this weekend that resonated with us the basic gist of which was that economists just aren t doing a good job telling economic stories that maybe what the economic world needs is more English majors a course of study that as Heather pointed out in her piece has seen a 25 percent drop in college majors since the Great Recession has it s good to have you back on the program great to be back we should say here at the outset you are by training and background and interested party in this idea of storytelling and economics right. Yeah you called me out and the disclaimer is I majored in both English and economics Ok but more to the point it s not just you who picked up on this this phenomenon phenomenon about English majors Robert Schiller no less a personage than a Nobel laureate in economics also points out the importance of storytelling in economics tell me why it matters tell me why. Yeah it s really fascinating I mean one of these prominent economist Bob Shiller he just has a new book out narrative economics is the title and the whole point of his bark is that stories matter basically economists have spent so much of the last 50 years trying to build these super elaborate data models to predict human behavior and at the end of the day he says Actually they should have been paying a lot more attention to what was in newspaper articles and one people were telling each other on internet forums or by word of mouth such as oh Get Rich Quick be could buy this coin or hey you know barely have to put any money down to buy a house and it s really interesting to hear one of one of the foremost economists in the profession basically saying that we need better storytellers and we need to be paying attention to stories but it s also interesting because when you talk about this often in your writing economists don t do themselves any favors and the most recent example is is the big Federal Reserve conference out in Jackson Hole where everybody and their dog gives a speech but there are economists giving speeches and nobody is sitting on the edge of their chair figuring out what they re saying yeah that s right again there are lots of peepers that are very technical and trying to put new models but the one person s talk that really got people started I was the head of the Australian Central Bank us daily hasn t had a recession in more than 25 years so people are paying attention a little bit more into what they re saying and he got out Philip blow got up and basically looked around the room and said we need to be better storytellers we need to be better communicators and particularly at this moment in the economy one of the best things you can do is tell people a plausible story why should they continue to invest why should they continue to spend why is this economy going to keep rocking one note here the j.p.l. The chair of the Federal Reserve is advertising for a speechwriter the chairman of the Fed has come under some criticism in recent weeks that his computer. He has been unclear and somebody reached out to me after this article went up over the weekend about the importance of English majors and sort of economists are going from why we still need English majors to remind me that the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank has a whole team that s basically dedicated to improving communications from the fat and translating econ speak into more palatable discussion and one note of peril here and this is in your piece as well the idea that the president of the United States is is forming his own narrative is telling his own stories about the economy even though they are not grounded in fact Yeah that s right Bob Shiller actually pointed this out to me he said you know someone and President Trump seems to be trying to encourage this lifestyle of buying more and spending like a trump which may have some influence on the economy and on people s idea of what they should be by but a lot of his comments that this is the greatest economy in u.s. History simply not true and not grounded in fact at all how long she s an economics correspondent also an English major by the way at the Washington Post rather Thanks a lot thank you. I m. The minimum wage you know right government mandated pay $7.25 an hour federally unchanged since 2009 By the way a lot of states set their own related but different and usually higher is something called a living wage in some parts of the country if you do business with the local government the law says that s what you ve got to pay a living wage from w.a.m. You in why. In d.c. Where the cost of living is pretty high such and Simons as an eco Hobbs owns a small African inspired fashion and beauty boutique called Nubian human in Washington d.c.

Is minimum wage rises to $15.00 an hour next summer it will be greater than the Living Wage Ed Lazear heads the d.c. Fiscal Paul. The Institute think tank the minimum wage is a floor the living wage should be something that is much closer to what it really takes to live on in Washington d.c. That would be just under $18.00 an hour for a single person and about $30.00 if they re raising a child that s according to a nationwide living wage calculator created at m.i.t. The calculator looks at costs like rent food transportation Some advocates in Washington say it s time to raise the living wage again Raj Agarwal is a co-founder of think local 1st d.c. He says there are also other ways employers can think about compensating employees are there other things that you re doing as a business pain health insurance provided for for 01 k. Should be calculated into this concept Agger walls group is trying to determine how many employers already pay the living wage and get more on board there are many businesses that we ve already identified that are paying a living wage and that there are there are people who don t know that they re doing it and eco Hobbs the owner of the African boutique doesn t offer health insurance but she does give employees birthday gifts and discounts at the store she would like to offer more if I m not able to offer my staff benefits and here are you really employing people for her and other small business owners there s another question how much more can you pay employees and still survive in an increasingly expensive area in Washington d.c.

I know she you know hung in name only. We do want to learn folks know that they re sending additional engines have been requested to a 2 to 3 acre fire on Peoria road in Brown s Valley and Yuba County aircraft are overhead and the fires are estimated as I said it to the 3 acres at this time a fire was reportedly caused by well being only a minimal structure a threat at this time says Cal Fire so while we like to hear that you re doing these always expect you in here in about an hour telling us all mopped up Ok Ok. That s interesting that s what Steve Baker does he mopped up the fire for us good to see a city Hey great seeing you and thanks so much for coming in here Mike you re making you re making this day extra special My pleasure my pleasure it s you know we should tell just I do you know I did live locally and have a station like a v m r. We re all just so fortunate just not are not to be drab it s just a fact so you know and anywhere I go I travel a lot as you guys know and it s you know big time radio. Like. It s not about big time radio it s about local stations and really this is the epitome of not only community action but just the variety of sounds and just commentary and you know the. We all grew up in the days where you know Oh I m listening to that do you hear that person because they bring in a certain thing to a station I love that about stations in this distinction is one of the best so I am happy to be here Jim would you move up here like 10 or 12 years ago 2 years ago or been or 12 years and you course knew about t.v. More before you did because I d done shows appear in previous years with a guy named Bergen and I think Buffalo might play a show in a row before I play show up here but yeah I know but a very serious and it was. You know I m a little kid so I grew up in a big area and we always used to go to town hall for like summertime into the appetite ours too much. So we get a fair amount of snow at Mile evasion you know but I love the foothills I love it here. Val seagrass our scene is is so great Were you know we re up up from that Smaug thing that can kind of creep up even to Auburn as you probably know so we re above that so that s important these days living here in paradise kind of the foothills but not the real paradise the real paradise is returning recovering right now and that s for sure we wish them the best whole Lord that s for sure you know not to speak I don t know if you mention of the North buffaloes a little you know Lisa Lisa she lost everything although I m not a buffalo memorabilia all the photos you know I have I have been meaning since last year to tell Lisa that you know I probably have 40 recordings 50 recordings of shows of Norton and all the interviews I have She s welcome to them of course I will get them to her we always like what happened I ve always stayed in touch with Lisa and she like I say she lost virtually everything and. 2 weeks before the fire see how things work out whether it s fate or who knows we don t know but a mutual friend of Norton and I s line John Jacobson is I don t know if you know John Jacobs but he s an engineer and really an audio buff studios of and he came up to her place and got. Most of Norton s master tapes Oh my goodness so they were not destroyed in the fire I thought all that stuff was gone so she said he said you can do anything I know what you want with him so he took a lot of his master tapes were talking to him all just 2 weeks before the fire 2 weeks before the fire I said my goodness how want to avoid How fortuitous as we say you know I think the last time that I actually talked with Norton was when we he was playing the Center for the arts and Palmer was a long time ago and I was doing sound for Paul Emory and remember Norton after the show just saying you know I want you to come up the next couple weeks and go through the tapes I want to play I want you to help me pick out some new songs and stuff and we never got that together so well when you look at the things in your life that you regret not doing that s one of the biggest things in my life I regret not getting together before Norton passed Yeah well we all have those things felt and I mean you know but Nora was a perfectionist I was always written you know we did what 3 records together and. He was a perfectionist he said I saw what he put out I d like a cd with his band but like. You know I would put out records with my band separate from Buffalo you know probably once every couple years and through those years and his output was not that much Warton just give it up don t go in and redo that or that no I gotta put another harmony on the vocal or this or that but that s the way he was and I respected that but consequently he has a lot of stuff that s in the can that was recorded that was never released because he just didn t feel he was ready to release it yet so I think there s a lot of lot of artists like that. You know. I just read a story recently about Prince Prince has a lot of stuff. He recorded Crissy his own studio there but it s whether he s alive today who knows you know so there s a lot of things that go down like that that people are not aware of anyway we ve got Roy Rogers in on the fact music show this Monday afternoon here on cable more of the folks are waiting for you to call out the other room 2659555 if you would like to keep k.b. More rolling along that being said make those phones ring of support. Because Roy and I want to talk and play music and right now you ve got me you ve got some Solomon Burke you ve got the let s talk about Holland for Europe you know I brought in a bunch of stuff thanks for the invitation by the way I love coming in and just you know I just pick whatever comes to mind and inspiration comes from so many different places you know you know we re all just music fanatics and before I was playing in bands or an early age and I had the pleasure of meeting Solomon Burke who s tracked coming up I was exposed to his music though as a lot of people. Through other bands especially in the sixty s you know when we were coming up you know the British band they were they covered all these songs I mean the Beatles whoever you want to call a lot of blues was part of it obviously and I 1st heard this song from the real army Rolling Stones record and people will recognize play a. Story about Solomon Burke after track. Well yeah that s. MacRebennack and. Oh that was. That s what he was doing his whole Grigory thing you know so that track is kind of an obscure track you said you did you want to wear that track when when when I was too boy probably 6869 a long time ago they used to play this all the time when mak would come out and do his Dr John thing is hold us and and Mama rule was like just you know we never thought that that greasy kind of like New Orleans thing was very new to you know to all of us what was the Gris-Gris all about I would agree is a great music is not gris gris and it s. Definitely what I m going here to said grifters all my life. I ve never heard a lot of the wrong people talk. It s like a potion agree I think agreed with a group of who do Polish and yeah that s right. We have to look it up but let s kind like a mojo Grigory you know like food you think so my understanding now did the New Orleans stuff come to you but when you were starting to get into music or did it come after you married a woman from New Orleans yeah more and more after I married a woman from New Orleans I was aware of. Well you know it s funny for me because I always loved I didn t know the new it was what you call the New Orleans kind of sound or that thing but I always loved music coming from the warm and going back to Reich you know only Kato and mother in law and I didn t know about it until later you know my mother in law or leave you know we know these names now and I want to sort of course you know the Neville Brothers there people know them but back then we didn t know about that Kid Creole would that be correct yes but he s Dixieland kid Creel he was New Orleans so yeah Ok yeah I think. More Dixie Landings and stamps were you know for me the you know when you listen to the b. . And all the stuff that came out of the whole compilation of combinations of sounds is just so unique now and so yes then a little later writing award from New Orleans I got here not only to the food which was fantastic is fantastic but much more knowledgeable about where the music it come from so it s it s quite an American of course we just lost mac and I mean you know it was a great guitar player before being known as you. Keyboardist went to l.a. From you know from New Orleans and but he was in an accident. Actually he was in a club as the story goes with her and. Bobby Charles somebody s got to refer somebody or maybe it was a hotel or something anyway he got one of the single shot off and so he couldn t play guitar so he started playing didn t stop Jerry. Very strong spiritual How did you really begin to he was that he was it was what he was a kid up in Been Loman and he lost it somewhere haven t been long Yeah we re talking about Jerry Garcia Jerry Garcia Corps and I m sitting on a Grateful Dead stool right here. And actually Wesley Robertson has joined us so he s in the studio with a. Western that s good and we want to throw out a big thanks here let s see who is coming so bring it back again people are appreciative that you re here we want to throw out a big thanks to all it s the another anonymous so this person s been becoming a new member Quite often this week and we thank you so we love all those anonymous . People you know we re here to I m here to support this radio station it s about money because it takes money to do that and they have these great new facility here folks and we re so lucky you know I live here and we re lucky to have you folks because not every community has a radio station that plugged in if I can use that term and has the wealth of. People that certainly are knowledgeable and get the music out there you know and the information about the people that s so it s so crucial these days more than ever you know whatever people say about the Internet and yeah you can find anything the local radio stations I just love anywhere I go and use the Internet a lot when your power is off so that s very true that far to anyone signals have to come over the older way through 659555 if you re thinking about it or you were thinking about us a couple weeks ago and now what we have maybe winded Wiser is coming up again in another few days we ll find out why here we are how do you make it through the power outage I have I have a generator you know. My 1st year. Peter I did not have a generator you called me the 1st year to get it no power to get you out you said to your caller Christ or somebody Man I gotta get out of here help me I regret. Doing the show here I go yeah Oh yes every Saturday morning so he helped me put in my generator and I m telling you that that 1st year was pain. I got a team with real quick and so. That saved me frankly so. When we have but I m not I don t know just. My feelings are supreme We mix about this whole thing about power outages I m not who s minding the store here I don t quite understand what the just a fake I understand we all want to be safe I was no question about it but. Going back to how I have stored pretty important pretty important question I don t know I don t know I m not knowledgeable but I just don t obviously I ve read a lot of editorials I m sure you have to and the 1st time this happened which was what a couple weeks ago was a fiasco for just about in any way shape or form obviously we didn t have a great big fire burning and we re thankful for that but I don t know that s just my personal opinions her fingers crossed over fully everything goes perfect from now on we just want to be safe but we wanted to be done and in the right way I suppose you know we played out in Berkeley for Dr John and everybody needs somebody you know I knew who Solomon Burke was advocate for d.j. Of course you have to know these things but I wasn t into him I didn t get it and then I saw him on David Letterman back in the late eighty s or whatever and of course he was about 5000 pounds at that point he was a very large man rock bring a man. When he play I just went Oh I get it now you know I watching him I was just like my goodness I you know I met Solomon Burke at an awards ceremony they used to have a Blues Awards believe it or not for some years until they ran out of money and literally turn. Some years back or maybe 15 years ago and and it was they were always pick a new location and I sat at a table at one of these awards show with Solomon Burke and what a delightful man he. Not not enough people know about Solomon Burke and his contributions to his writing and he s. Such a stellar performer I mean when you saw him you don t you didn t forget him did you remember the guy that he d go out front and Solomon would be he had a throne folks right Solomon Burke would bring a throne and cape and all that stuff and he was on a throne and then he had this guy. What an Attache kind of like James Brown when he didn t write a protein and a guy would come out but the keep on James Brown he strode off and get out sound Bearcat a guy that handed out roses. And. These women in the front would just faint I mean. And it was it was just. A delight to see that kind of old school self you just don t see that anymore it s just all now now I m going to I m going to challenge you on that you play with a guy named John Lee Hooker and I used to go see John Lee Hooker at the last loon in San Francisco what was that climate history on that s very complimentary and there would be so many women just packed up to the front of the stage every time John Lee play I mean he drew in the waiting for with that voice you know. You re going to make some moves I mean you can try that with out of with a voice like that. You have serious power I mean you know it s. You know look what can I say my my association as you well know what Johnny hook was was. One of the high points not the high point of my career I mean and producing his records we had such a ball and I became such great friends with Johnny hooker he s one of the major blues men of all time without question. You know Boogie Chillen his 1st hit was in 1988 for God s sake that s what is it 71 years ago and he told a 1000000 records and you know when you think back in those times in the end of World War 2 when the big bands were just standing and you had jazz guys coming up and and Louis Jordan and all these sophisticated thing and then Johnny comes and just damp his foot. And does one Guitar Boogie and sells a 1000000 records it was phenomena people couldn t believe it but that s I was part part of the whole movie you know diaspora of people moving from the south to the north to get work you know well I just remember of course you know I got to know John Lee Hooker by working a case that radio and he lived in Gilroy you look around you you could walk to the Cape Flats studios so you know he was this legend already but then I remember him about the time that you started producing him and stuff his he just his voice went into that true great godfather of Blues voice no question I mean it was just it was just a little different than anything else on this planet no question about it he. Just when you hear that voice it s like no other I think I ve got to get some legal and some stuff going in a bit we should play at least one here I ve got one here it says so if you re supplied winder album but it says it has John Lee playing with you and Terraplane blue oh let s do what we did together I you know I did this record and I asked I was very ginger I just I gingerly asked John if he wanted to sing on a recording of mine and he said well sure I would and I lied I said well what should we do I ll just call boss and. He s also one of those old old Robert Johnson songs so I said great so it s just me playing and and John s saying and and listen to the end because the end we both start laughing and it s one of my favorite recordings really this is k.b.r. .

It was unconventional what I did I said to get I have to fight a little while sometimes you have to let them fight a little like 2 kids in a lot you gotta let them fight in your poem apart. But it was unconventional but they fought for a few days and it was pretty vicious Utah Republican senator Mitt Romney questioned Trump s explanation for his abrupt decision to pull out u.s. Troops leaving the way clear for Turkey to launch its cross border attack on the Kurds the president has said that we left to fill a commitment to stop and list wars to bring troops home to get them out of harm s way perhaps to save money. I find these reasons hard to square why. Well we withdrew 1500 troops in Syria but we re adding 2000 troops in Saudi Arabia I simply don t understand why the administration did not explain in advance to air to one that it s unacceptable for Turkey to attack an American ally. International criticism of the deal mounted European Union council president Donald Tusk said it wasn t a ceasefire but rather a demand for the capitulation of the Kurds and called on Turkey to immediately halt its military operations in northeast Syria French president Manuel McKown called the Turkish offensive madness White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney acknowledged that president trumps decision to hold up military aid to Ukraine was linked to Trump s demand that the country investigate the Democratic National Committee and the 2016 presidential campaign reporters question moving any about his surprising admission it undercut the administration s previous insistence that there was no quid pro quo during Trump s July phone call with Ukrainian president still in ski going to be clear because this right is a quid pro quo. Funding Golden Globe for.

Here in case you see but you do know no one no well no no if a oh I see a different new we get high noon Oh I thought maybe you re canceling you re saying you know I d be worse in shutting off all the power in the area I know that but the cable if a news would be here it s like oh I see Ok we ll stay over there you know you know it s time for now yeah I know you know. That really well you. Know what. That s right so. Yes Yes So I the movie news bit but you won t do the reviews 1st or talk about movies no one do what we re for I think that I think we get some give us a bit about. What s next and what s here in Ok And then why not I mean as long as yeah we can we go we re going several places. Yes movie reviews movie reviews like Lucy in the sky just opened naturally plays. A very conflicted based on a true story gotta keep saying I got to keep saying you won t believe it but anyway she s an astronaut and she s floating around in space and she s very spacey and she has she has a lot of speech problems and then she goes and tries to kidnap somebody I m going to tell you many more than that because you shouldn t see it anyway because it s based on even though. Based on a Tuesday even though they shouldn t go see it you re not going to your professional life you just not going to throw out the spoilers Yeah yeah almost a good day for example the critics gave it a 23 on Rotten Tomatoes the audiences gave it 28 so there is a lot of agreement on the palm of a movie especially those to you know this guy Natalie Portman Natalie always does a good job she s always fun to look at and she does his best she possibly can with this ridiculous script but anyway that s that s that s the 1st one mano a mano says a very unusual film it s the story of a group of young young commandos I suppose you could call them from Colombia this all takes place in Colombia and for some reason which I wasn t really I couldn t quite figure it out that they have to guard and American doctor young doctor pretty woman and they have to guard her and get her through the jungle to go somewhere and I could never figure out why or where they were doing on any of this I didn t like the film of all and the critics gave it 92 on Rotten Tomatoes and an 81 from the audiences just to show you the difference or I just I couldn t believe this film couldn t follow it I couldn t see we didn t win something so just eluded me on my nose mano Sam all n o s mano Lotos mono mano this mono us and o m a m o o o F s. Monaro There you go anyway anyway my role you saw joker I loved it I loved I liked it yes as time went on I think I saw some flaws with it but I enjoyed the 1st viewing Well again probably not Oh Ok I wondered why he said 1st viewing Yeah I loved it a lot and the interesting thing about it was it hardly went down in box office returns for the 2nd week and. You know it s very unusual usually they drop a. Song as much as 50 percent or more after people see and say that s terrible they tell all their friends that s terrible but like I said last week I think you Joaquin Phoenix who takes takes the lead I think they should just hand them the Oscar and I really really believe it I mean you just never take your eyes off him because I mean the entire movie centers around him there s never like a perspective shift it s an entire movie like it there s always he s always in frame yeah the entire heavy all hours of it yeah that s right 2 hours plus and I mean what it really is for. Batman friends this is this is Bruce Wayne in his family and it s the real story about why the Joker keeps haunting and keeps coming back and back and back good as I say I liked it a lot about Judy Renee Zellweger and Judy Garland and the last years of Judy Garland and starting in 1908 when she goes back over to London to wow the audience is one more time it s a saga it s a dramatic saga a tear jerking saga all of that all of that but again I like that I thought they did a good job considering what they had to deal with which is a very disturbed woman and a pill addict and all of the above and her 5 husbands and there it goes even a little bit was it a vase they had in their young and being being. Tortured I guess by one of the film s directors and just I mean what s a lie worth seeing where it s well I mean that s why I say it s a sad saga drama and. It s up to you I mean if you if you like Judy Garland you got to see it Ok and if you you know if you put up with Carnie Carnie sagas go for it. Yeah yesterday and again Downton Abbey he s still out there and still bringing in the money and. Pardon catching Yes Yes exactly and and the king and queen of England come to Downton Abbey and this is the whole story about how the king in Queens his staff gets along with Downton Abbey staff and they don t get along and they ve almost argue and almost fight and do sort of very typical 1920 s. British style nasties to terrorist ocracy labor Yeah except there s labor on both sides you know I mean it s the cooks and the servants and all of that so for me 1st ask Are you a fan of the original p.b.s. Series Dallas has Diane I am more than a fan I am a follower Yes and a fan and enthuses I don t know I love it I thought all in the movie and the movie Well if you if you re not a fan you won t get as much out of it as if you because you won t know the story behind that 2nd 3rd cook and how she got married what happened to that marriage and you know and you won t know this and you won t know that about all of the characters and there s so many characters in this you know probably 20 and in the main 2 casts and these are important people in the film and in the series and so if you watch the 6 or 7 years of it you ll know you ll know everybody walks by on the screen but if you re casual and you won t get as much you won t get as much but it s a fascinating story Delta that you know count Abby and Astro are still out there Brad Pitt Brad Pitt as as a. Master not another astronaut in film and this time he s looking for his father who may or may not be dead and so he has to go through space and face an awful lot of obstacles and. To. Know I mean here we have Luke. In the sky you know we ve had so many of these. Astronaut movies now and floating around out in outer space and they re very popular but this one you know Brad Pitt does a great job great job but if you re going for a big science fiction type thing no because this is more psychological it s more about Brad Pitt and his relationship with his dad than it is about a space film it Astra and asteroid Yes but the Ronstadt again still playing still bringing in the audiences and Linda Ronstadt dot dot to the sound of my voice and again if you like Linda Ronstadt or if you don t like your enough which it was my category I had did not have that much appreciation for until I saw this film and realized the real breadth and depth of her voice and her abilities and she just does a great job and it s a documentary documentary on Linda Ronstadt and they always bring out toward the end of the film where she breaks into her sort of lets out her Mexican heritage and really does does in the incredible good job good job sound of my voice you know Linda Ronstadt son of my boy Brittany runs a marathon that s still playing to which I don t know why I d like to stop at all which I get on to stop this film and Julian Belle The actress who plays Britney she actually is a big deal in the public city she actually lost 40 pounds getting ready for the role and then that s what happens you know she and it s a comedy sorta and is a lot of sadness in that because she s overweight in this and that and how she trains and how she does and then blah blah blah and she runs a marathon that s a. Very inspiring thing. Britney don t bring home runs meant Ok you know they were films not Ok so let s let s see things coming to the area that you might want our listeners to. About yeah they should know about the Santa Cruz Chamber Players I mentioned last week but it s this weekend Saturday October 19th and Sunday the 20th 730 on the 19th and this is the this is the game for players not to be doing music by you know Boston and Carl Maria von Braun and it will be at the Lutheran Church out in app toss and the title of the concert is blowing in the when this so well done I mean they ve been around for 30 something years and throw together Santa Cruz Chamber Players Yes there you are in next Tuesday on universal grapevine 78 o clock on keys yes he Santa Cruz Yeah 1st half hour 1st half hour Mr Jim coffee us will be returning and he is the co-founder and the deputy director of green trade and we re going to be talking about cannabis and the legality illegality challenges that they face a new rules and laws and regulations all of the Above all of the above and it s such a fascinating topic I mean who had ever thought that marijuana would be resilient dollar industry but at least you know so that 1st half hour 1st your so great fun Tuesday night 7 o clock the 2nd half hour 2nd half hour starts at 730 and that s Phillipe hobby because coming back he is the co-founder and the manager of common roots farm and that s a community of year or well good not community supported agriculture and and also it s all centered around handicapped children and so he s going to be talking about that again and it s quite a story quite a story with they ve accomplished that s next Tuesday universal grapevine and please yes you sang for 70 8 o clock yes I found this in Tuesday s business section b. William Bratton Yes Dateline l a in a sign of just how much streaming is changing Hollywood movie fans will soon be able to write and buy films for viewing at home from a movie theater chain. AMC Entertainment the largest multiplex operator in the world will introduce an i Tunes style online video store in the u.s. Next Tuesday said the president and c.e.o. The service AMC Theater on demand will offer approximately 2000 films for sale or rent after their theatrical runs just as i Tunes Amazon and other video on demand retailers do the movie theater industry has long been at odds with online video why trek to theaters if thousands of movies are available at the click of a button at home or on your phone sure new films do arrive on video d.n. Till they have played in theaters for an exclusive period of about 90 days but this windowing practice many analysts believe will become untenable as streaming services like Netflix gained clout Ollywood 5 biggest movie studios Disney Warner Universal Sony and Paramount have all made deals with AMC for catalog and new release movies AMC based in Leawood Kansas and partly owned by China s Deleon wonder group became the largest multiplex chain in the world in 2016 after going on a breathtaking shopping spree they acquired Carmike in the u.s. And Britain Nordic in Northern Europe as a result AMC began carrying debt approximately $4700000000.00 its debt load and bumpy box office ride attendance at AMC is down 3.6 percent this year in the u.s. Compared to last have made investors wary the share price is now $9.00 down from $20.00 a year ago so am see the movie Brad why is a multiplex operator now going to get into the on demand competition with the studios themselves right I mean Disney s going to be streaming there they ve got their own channel starting to say there s a new process right and here it is so tell me it does this make any sense to you does this mean that we re going to have fewer but in the chairs you know actual movie theaters I think it means Perth I mean. You ve been watching them go down and down the Domino and we re talking about attendance not attendant Right exactly yeah I mean in fewer and fewer people are going just because. Box office prices have been going up admission prices have been going up and so the so the people who show up are fewer and fewer and. You know you read you can see that home you know almost pretty quick but some of them even sooner than downtown but isn t a major multiplex competing with itself when it have an on demand service that just inspires more people stayed home instead of coming to yeah the multiplex and I think that shifting focus you know they re probably going to try to close down a little by little turning the exact opposite exactly you know because it s expensive to run the theater you know and. Especially the concession stand I mean where the make all the local money you know that s a very very very big deal. And I ve got one more movie related item for you b. Movie last night at the nick it was the wild and scenic Film Festival which was the fundraiser for Ventana wilderness Alliance sold out there you go 2 weeks in advance but there is still tickets available for a Saturday night s performance this is the wild and scenic Film Festival on tour this year shows each featuring a unique set of films will be at the Golden State Theater in downtown Monterey tomorrow Saturday evening is that it is hosted by the Ventana wilderness Alliance a local nonprofit dedicated to the conservation of public lands in the big country the program will feature world class outdoor films in a raffle of locally donated prizes proceeds benefit the conservation efforts of the Ventana wilderness Alliance great group for ticket info good event of wild or call area code 831-423-3191 that s tomorrow night Golden State Theatre downtown Monterey I ve been many times I ve had them on universe are great fun to talk on a good group good.

The backbone. And tell them having. The. Backbone. And if the of poison. And when I die I know and then my mind. And then. Back. And tell them. And tell them. And tell them to get up. And when I don t. Handle. And channel them. And tell them my dad up. And find I don t I don t pay. C and. Her. Her. Her. This. And Neve. Move just Stevies stay. Mad at. Me. And. Long. All strata. Will. With our will float. Have to be. Divvied. One. 3rd. And. Be. Just 2. All that is my vote for the best title song tonight I came I saw all I conquer it. And charge Evans with how although in the Savoy hotel orchestra to NY written by 3 different people that you ve probably never heard of and well it was a big hit back in the forty s for some reason. Billie Holiday before that and her version of it had to be you the great Jones Gus Kahn tune written way back in 1924 Billy s recording there in 1955 course Dolly Wilson really made it famous in Casablanca Diane Keaton did a great job with an Annie Hall as I recall too but it s a wonderful song Guy Lombardo and his orchestra Billie Leach providing the vocals on Speak low talk about Billie Holiday that s one she really made famous but obviously that wasn t her guy in the orchestra recording that one in 1944 tune written by Kurt violin Ogden Nash oddly enough occurred while he wrote all kinds of things usually wrote Bertold Brecht like The Threepenny Opera that sort of thing but I did Nash obviously just a poet that has poetry put to music and yeah Marlena Dietrich and let s see what the boys in the back room will have from death treat Rides Again Well here s June Hutton we re going to go to 1955 actually yes 1955 is the year Sammy Khan and Saul Chapman wrote this way back in 1936 but it is a beautiful song really it ll have to do until the real thing comes along. Its length. To. Lead. Oh. Oh Dana. Pointed. Of it. At me. Even though I doubt. d that there. Are a man. With a. And if. San. Diego end. To. End to Egypt. But too much of it there s. An end to. Him. In this. A. Bright golden haze on the. Bright golden haze on the job. A car is as. It s called. Poll. Of polls. Polls. Polls. Lol. Lol the last stand in life stats. Like stats. They don t. Run. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Things go down. Like music. This sounds. Like music. This is so. Don t miss sod true. We. Will. Leave. It In. That s actually the 1st tune that anyone ever heard from Rodgers and Hammerstein the opening to Oklahoma. Broadway musicals 1943 Gordon McCrea starred in the 1955 film that s what we just heard there he was currently opposite Shirley Jones in her film debut actually as Laurie but yeah 1st time I was that was the 1st tune that any audience heard from Rodgers and Hammerstein they would hear many more and they liked them. Before that Bill Canny and his ink spots with their friend Ella Fitzgerald into each life some rain must fall it s true otherwise it s you get a drought recorded Aug 30th of 1944 and also in there Jean Austin going way way back to 1926 a number one tune for him has anybody seen my gal that one had been floating around since 1914. Gene Austin a big big star of the 1920 s. 5 foot 2 eyes of blue and also in 1026 I get to thinking sometimes it s just I don t have to think what life was like back then and there were actually people living and going about their lives Chuck Berry was born this week in 1906 for example when the pope was published by a Milne this week in 1926 Frank Lloyd Wright was arrested in Minnesota for violating the Mann Act and for adultery he was with a woman from Montenegro apparently and also the daughter they bore together and he got in all kinds of trouble but. They dropped the charges against him so that was something this was the week that her Harry Houdini got punched in the gut by a woman in a Montreal theater he would die 9 days later from Penda situs no one was ever really sure if that the 2 were connected but maybe also with the baseball happening the Cardinals beat the Yankees this week in 1926 Game 7 they won 3 to 2 Babe Ruth was thrown out stealing to end the series and on a Saturday note Mussolini Benito took over the militia gaining control of all of the military in Italy so you know there was life in 1926 even though most of us weren t around to see it and we don t know a whole lot about it. And you have it I like history I can t help it if you can bear with me when I do these sorts of things but anyway we ll play more music that s really what we do here on Ike s America right. And here is Claude for health friend Robert Webber providing the vocals on a Sunday kind of love. Leg These are. The Sunday. Well. Glad but. Nowhere some other long. Oh I m packing my grip. And I m leavin today. Cause I m taking a trip to California where. I m gonna settle. And make for san. Make a new friend. Where the West begin. The sunset in. Where you are really should be. And it s the San Fernando told me. He will make it. So I m hitting the trail. To the country. You can follow. Here of the. Role. And make the San Fernando Valley my home. And told me. His pack and. Even if. He. Told me what. This. Is truly should be. Better. I think that. Would. Be. Make that. Makes a. Leg. Low. Well I leave I heard you. And. Oddly the 2nd time we ve heard from Geraldo in the summer why hotel orchestra this time with Cyril Grantham and doing some Gershwin a foggy day it was recorded the year that there was a one distress came out 1937 that s when the Gershwins wrote it one of the last things George did before he passed course Fred Astaire as he always did introduced it on film but for some reason Cyril Grantham and Geraldo put out a hit record it worked Sarah Vaughan heard from her earlier but we re going to hear from her again. In fact we did hear from her again that s my man s gone now some more Gershwin with Dubose Howard who wrote the novel Porgy and Bess. We heard Carmen and Sammy do something from Porgy and Bess earlier but I say we can never get enough Johnny Mercer saying in his own tune that he wrote with Gordon Jenkins and singing with the Barrys apparently was the name of the group San Fernando Valley was from January of 1944 much different San Fernando Valley than the one Frank Zappa would sing about the 1000 he says with his 14 year old daughter Moon Unit but times change don t they and a Sunday kind of love what a just a beautiful beautiful song became Fran Weber s kind of signature song though for my money Etta James had the biggest hit in 1960 but not oh no one ever cracked the top 40 with that as good a song as it was. Oh well what he going to do Louis Prima actually co-wrote that song with Barbara bell and I need a Leonard Stan Rhodes anyway doesn t sound like his kind of thing but it I don t know what part he contributed to the song well let s get in one more set of music shall we before we hand things over to the folks at the retro cocktail hour here s a Judy Garland from Meet Me in St Louis. A leave that there for you baseball fans by the boy next door Judy Garland from 1944. We ll see you. Soon. I m. Gonna. Do you really need is. To never know when. That certainly should say. Minutes. Next. Oh. When your luck is 0. 0. 0. In a new goal. But. Hard but I don t. Say. You re gonna have. The time. I m not. Saying. That s when the green shoots. Is baton 0. 0. 0. 00. 000000 s. . I Mummy. Mummy Mummy a week to. Able. To play so many tunes from the movies why not finish things off with another great one from Johnny Mercer who raid for Hollywood Johnny sketch Davis playing along with Francis Langford there Johnny was actually in the middle of a 3 year contract with Warner Brothers and he and Richard Whiting kind of were forced to write this music for the 1937 film called Hollywood Hotel Benny Goodman orchestra stars as guest stars and it s very strange but. You know Johnny I guess they say he could write songs in his sleep so Eddie my love was the teen queens in 1956 hit for them when I really the only one that was a. Reelection year was 1956 Maxwell Davis and Aaron Collins wrote it now Maxwell played sax on that tune and he my love an Aaron Collins was the brother of assist.
