One more trip back to Meowsville; my beautiful tabby-cat Charley came in and asked why I hadn't included his most favorite record in that last Meow-Mix. I said, "Hey now, Charley boy, do not take offense. Let your papa spin that one for you right now!" Then said Charley, "Purrrrrrrr."

Mel Torme "Comin' Home" from Judy Garland's TV show, 1962
Buddy Greco "The Lady Is A Tramp" live TV performance, 1963

Wow, Dewey, Norma Tanega! That's really pulling small silken threads out of the past. Thanks for inviting her to the party.
I still catch myself singing that silly little song . . . . .
Happy, sad and crazy wonder, floatin' cross my mind with perpetual dreamin' . . . . .
Dog is a good ol' cat. People, whatcha think of that?
That's where I'm at. That's where I'm at.
No - they don't write them like that any more.

Hey Judith: Bringing Norma Tanega to the Record party was indeed a pleasure sublime. Glad you feel about her the way I do!
In that vein, here's a tune that was popular around the same time and for some reason always makes me think of Norma's song.
This one's for you!
Nancy Sinatra "Sugar Town"
ps to Ben: Can't thank you enough for bringing Dewey the Dancing Cat to the Record Party! Everyone around here has enjoyed that to the max!

It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing...
Talk about serendipity! That was the first "dancing cat" video I clicked on. Glad the gang enjoyed Dewey's little two-step.
The cool cats continue as we swing into the weekend...
"Swing" Django Reinhardt
"Sing, Sing, Sing" Benny Goodman With Gene Krupa and Harry James
"One O'Clock Jump" Count Basie
"Bugle Call Rag" Glenn Miller
And now, for your viewing pleasure, Pete Smith's "Groovie Movie" from 1944...so you'll be jitterbugging in no time!

Judith asked the gang here at the ol' Record Party: "Who remembers this brother and sister act - April and Nino?"
Well, baby, I sure do! DEEP PURPLE will always be one of my most favorite songs! Especially by Nino and April. Mesmerizing!
Crosby, Stills & Nash "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"
The Doors "The Soft Parade"
Joni Mitchell "Chelsea Morning"

Thanks for the Joni Mitchell, Dewey! I've always loved her words and music and voice...and art. I would always anticipate a new album for all those reasons. Here's a hauntingly beautiful cover of her "Both Sides Now" with a revealing self portrait.
Time for some rip-roarin' gee-tar action from the very gods of the art-form themselves! Thass right, ladies and gennlemen--the Record Party extends a big ol' Friday afternoon welcome to the one and onlies...
Link Wray "Rumble"
Duane Eddy "Rebel Rouser"
Dick Dale & the Del Tones "Miserlou"
