Re: [Phono-L] Black Patti... Black Swan
I have to agree with you Glenn. I'm a little dismayed at all the dissing of poor old Guy Lumbago here. When I was a kid, Lumbago was already pretty much of a has-been, being relegated to performing once a year on a New Year's Eve TV show. The Beatles were "fab" and no kid would be caught dead listening to anything his parents would remotely have liked. That included Sinatra and Basie. I thought Guy was really "square" and didn't know anybody who listened to him with the exception of one of my tekkie friends. I still don't know what that was about, but as I have aged and mellowed and started collecting 1930s vintage radios, I find that hearing the Royal Canadians coming thru the speaker of an Atwater Kent just seems right. Together with Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and all the rest of the performers of the day. I have actually come to even like Carmen Lombardo's vocals. They are so uniquely cornball that they define the Lumbago sound just as much as the trademark toodling saxophones. And I think Guy's "dueling" dual piano treatments are some of the most upbeat and enjoyable to be heard. These two pieanny bangers were really talented, despite the corny arrangements. You won't hear many "clams" from their spirited playing. Guy's music is just plain fun, and I enjoy it quite a lot these days.
