I have all their recordings on vinyl and renewed my collection on cds. If you search on the internet as I did you will find all their recordings reissued on cd. I heard the Les Elgart orchestra live in a ballroom near Montréal in 1960. His band was booked for 2 weeks in a row.I went 4 times to hear it.

Bear in mind, they also experimented with Rock and Roll as early as 1954, with songs like "Bazoom!", "At the Boppin' Stop", and the very bluesy "Flip, Flop, and Fly" featuring JOHNNY RAY on vocal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276770984720457332.post-6405116571578057452011-02-07T02:00:13.007-05:002011-02-07T02:00:13.007-05:00Predicting a penultimate disaster with the prospec...Predicting a penultimate disaster with the prospect of the next snow storm is an old trick among weather forecasters eager to heighten hysteria and hike their ratings. What their audience fails to realize is that these guys are only right half of the time. And they're never going to take a chance on underestimating the scale of the next possible blizzard of the millennium. It's all part of the constant diet of disaster scenarios in B movies and docs that fill slots in cable network channels. A large segment of the populace has been anticipating the end of the world since the days of the Cuban missile crisis. Variations on the theme simply reinforce the most deep-seeded fear that remains latent in all of our media-engorged imaginations. It's an upfront and conscious manifestation of Jung's concept of a collective subconscious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276770984720457332.post-68619618897433031522010-05-01T14:16:34.850-04:002010-05-01T14:16:34.850-04:00David,

Reminded me of Joe Franklin's old TV show. Sometimes Joe had a habit of putting on guests who, at first, seemed unrelated -- e.g., an astrologer, musician, a former pro athlete -- and then ask them to comment on each other's area of expertise. But as the audience soon learned, it was only that they had nothing in common.Larry Greenberghttp://www.greenbergmedia.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276770984720457332.post-1200842991925455262009-10-27T12:16:08.572-04:002009-10-27T12:16:08.572-04:00Ka-ching!

As the publisher and editor of Alvah's Books, I get tons of pitches and only a handful of the PR people have read through my site and what I read and review. I recently recieved a pitch that was obviously an email blast that had both my name and the site's name wrong.<br /><br />I realize that publicists are now doing the work of three people, but in their attempts to multitask, maybe they should slow down and check their work. Making a mistake on my name I can pardon (I've been called Rachel plenty of times) but refering to my site by a competitor's name, is just plain sloppy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276770984720457332.post-51149421866195980672009-10-13T14:52:13.172-04:002009-10-13T14:52:13.172-04:00Nice opener!
