<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">In high
school Usher was a well-liked and active student. He was called “Ush.” He liked
“convertibles, haircuts, cards, clothes, transmissions,” and his favorite
expression was “Oh, say now!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Usher’s
activities were playing baseball, basketball, and in addition to writing for
the school paper, the <i>Oriel</i>, he worked
on the Yearbook, The Cotton Gin – named for another famous Westborough citizen,
Eli Whitney). Appropriately, his school epitaph read: “Race with the Devil.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Absolutely
nothing is said about music. In a 1964 article in the <i>Worcester Telegram,</i> writer James Lee pointed out that Usher “had no
interest in music in his school days. He had a talent for art and he spent much
of his time on that. He even taught it in the lower grades.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
headline to the story read: “Former Bank Teller Here Becomes a Top Songwriter.”
Lee opened his piece with the question: “Like to hear a success story?”
Answering the question, he stated, “The subject is Gary Usher, who resigned as
a teller at the Worcester Five Cents Saving Bank three years ago to go to </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hollywood</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> to write music. He’s now one of
the leading rock ‘n’ roll composers in the country – specializing in surfing
music – and his weekly income reaches four figures.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Lee also
noted that between 1963 and ’64 Usher published more than 150 songs, 100 of
which had already been recorded. At the time, his songs were recorded on more
than 40 albums and he was under contract to Capitol records as both a writer
and a singer. Usher was also committed to writing music for American
International Pictures. As Lee duly noted, “Not bad for a 24 year-old who never
had any musical education,”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Lee

bought a Japanese guitar, then sent for a booklet on how to play it. It took
him six months to learn. Then he started composing songs.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">In 1961,
Usher returned to Westborough and for six months worked at the Worcester Five
Cents Savings Bank. “Yearning to get into the musical mainstream, he left for
Los Angeles late in 1961,” Lee wrote, adding, “There he filled some minor
entertainment jobs, attended college, wrote music, pitched for the San
Francisco Giants’ farm teams and worked at the City National Bank in Beverly Hills.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Lee contends
that Usher’s big break came in June, 1962. As legend has it, while visiting his

the Beach Boys were rehearsing across the street. “</span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Gary</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> got acquainted with them,” Lee
said. “He collaborated with one of them, Brian Wilson, in writing a song, ‘409,’
which was paired with ‘Surfin’ Safari’ for Capitol. Named after the Chevrolet
409, the tune sold a million and a quarter records in ’62. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

it to three simple chords in five minutes, and it developed into a

Usher told Sculatti, “He was aware of Dick Dale, the Pendleton jackets and that
whole shot. It just rubbed off. I never surfed"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt;">According
to the Wikimedia Foundation, Usher said that the experience in writing “In My
Room,” found the two fledgling songwriters taking their craft more seriously. “Brian
and I came back to the house one night after playing ‘over-the-line’ (a
baseball game). I played bass and Brian was on organ. The song was written in
an hour …. Brian’s melody all the way. The sensitivity … the concept meant a
lot to him.</span><br />

admitted to being an admirer of the song, quoting, “’In My Room,’ was the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">Historically
speaking, Robbins is seen as one of this nation’s original “song pluggers,”
that is, someone who actively finds ways to sell the sheet music. Robbins sang countless songs wherever he could find an
audience, whether it was on street corners and private parties or department
stores and movie houses.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Evidently,
Robbins had an ear for talent and the golden touch when came to marketing. As
the story goes, in the same year that he was hired to work in his uncle’s
publishing firm, he found a song on the stockroom shelf that he recognized as a
winner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As the
T&G tells it, the song, “Smiles,” written by J. Will Callahan and Lee
Roberts, sold some two million copies in less than a year and earned Robbins a
small fortune. “With the money from this venture, Mr. Robbins established his
own firm, the Robbins Music Corp.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">According
to the <i>Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular
Music of the World</i>, “Robbins was an astute assessor of talent, particularly
that of band leaders who could produce and promote music. This attribute helped to jump-start the career of Paul Whiteman, among others, for Robbins encouraged
Victor to sign the bandleader after he discovered him in 1926. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">“Robbins understanding of the mechanisms of promotion and production led to the
publication by his company of a handbook detailing the ins and outs of the
business – inside stuff on </span><i style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;">How to Write
Popular Songs</i><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">, written by </span><i style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;">Variety</i><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">’s

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Another
story of Robbins recognition of talent comes from the book, <i>Ella Fitzgerald: A Biography of the First
Lady of Jazz </i>by Stuart Nicholson. The author quotes manager and songwriter
Teddy McRae, stating that Robbins had begun to follow the fortunes of the Chick
Webb band, Ella’s bandleader and legal guardian. “Jack talked to me about a
deal where he would support us with arrangements,” McRae said. “It was like
song plugging …. So Jack said, ‘We’re going to give you hit songs [that] come out
before anybody … because we feel Ella Fitzgerald is about the top thing right
now. We think she’s really going to be tops.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to the T&G, two of Swing music’s top song writers, Harry Pierney and Walter
Donaldson, “had their work published by Mr. Robbins…. “Others who were

the more famous stories of the Robbins golden touch relates to the song, “Blue
Moon,” written by Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart. The song’s remarkable saga is
conveyed on the official Hart website, lorenzhart.org. It was originally called,
“Prayer,” and the first version was intended for Jean Harlow to be sung in the movie <i>Hollywood Party</i>. According to the Hart

<span class="justify"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">“In its second life, the 'Prayer/Blue Moon' tune was

<span class="justify"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The song had a third and fourth life in film as well. </span><span class="justify"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">According to Gary Marmorstein, the author of </span></span><st1:place><i><span class="justify"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">Hollywood</span></span></i></st1:place><span class="justify"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;"> Rhapsody: Movie Music and Its Makers 1900 to 1975</span></i></span><span class="justify"><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">,
the fourth was a charm. “Metro’s music publisher Jack Robbins liked the tune but
urged Hart to come up with a more popular lyric for it. Hart sarcastically
suggested ‘Blue Moon,’ a counterclockwise turn of the old Tin Pan Alley
June-moon-spoon cliché. That was precisely what Robbins wanted. The rest is pop
music history.” </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

first, as reported by <i>Continuum</i>,
while film was still silent, he published the work of composers of incidental

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 16pt;">According
to <i>Continuum</i>, Robbins was bought out of
the business by the film studio in 1935. “Before the sale, Robbins had become
angered by what he felt were the studio’s inefficient and ill-conceived efforts to
promote his music. This resulted in a 1932 lawsuit against the studio and
American Society of Composers and Publishers (ASCAP), which Robbins won; as a
result he received more reasonable recompense for his material until the
catalog was sold. Subsequently, he devoted his efforts to the jobbing and
distribution of music,” <i>Continuum</i>
reported. Ironically, Robbins became a future</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 21px;"> director of the American Society of Composer, Authors, and Publishers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

Broadway musical scores. He would also hold a share in Words & Music Inc.,

music publishing firm, Robbins Music Corp., New York, appeared recently in the <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, having been written
by Edwin Schallert, conceded to be one of the outstanding music critics west of
the Rockies. Mr. Robbins, whose firm is closely linked with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
organization, is an authority on music for the motion picture, and his views on
this subject were greatly sought after by newspaper men on the occasion of his
recent trip here.</span></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"> Mr. Schallert spent considerable time with Mr. Robbins, and

day, and he declares that the popularity of the majority of songs is doubled as
a result of pictures. In some instances it is more than doubled. Mr. Robbins
mentioned that a number like 'You Were Meant For Me' would have sold probably
100,000 copies had it been written before song pictures came into vogue. As a
part of a film musical production, it will sell </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";">"</span><st1:stockticker style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "georgia";">HITS</span></st1:stockticker><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";">"</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> "There
is another angle to the success of songs, as Robbins relates it, and that is
the speed of the success. A picture is an 'immediate plug' for the song. It is
more rapid than the radio even. In two or three weeks, with a generally
released production, a tune will go round the country. It will hit more quickly
and more certainly, because the audience sees </span><span style="font-family: "georgia";">as well
as hears it sung. This result obtains naturally where the singer appears on the
screen as in 'Broadway Melody.' "The song picture promises to cause a
quickening in sheet music sales throughout the country. Popular music trade has
been at a low ebb for some time. The public much prefers to buy the record, or
listen to the number over the radio. Record sales will, of course, be
stimulated, and sheet music also.”</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Charles Schwartz</strong>, in his biography on Porter, writes:
“Harvard-trained, with a reputation among Worcester students and faculty as an
enlightened but demanding pedagogue, Abercrombie turned out to be an important
influence on Cole; in fact, practically a godsend for the youngster. Not only
did Abercrombie respond to Cole’s avid attention in class and polite ways by
taking a personal interest – almost as a substitute father would – in his
progress at the school and his development as a human being, but he also
influenced the youth’s future work as a lyricist-composer.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Abercrombie who first made him aware, by example, of the close correlation
between meter and verse in the epic poems of Homer and other great Greek poets,
of the importance of unifying music and text in his own popular songs. Speaking
about the lesson learned from Abercrombie as it related to his own work, Cole
said: ‘Words and music must be so inseparably wedded to each other that they
are like one.’ Cole’s songs are a testament to this philosophy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sinatra</strong>. “He gave it a freshness. When I first would see one of
his songs, the surprise of the couplet or the inner rhyme was always exciting
to me. Consequently, when I worked in clubs – particularly in clubs – the
material was fun to do because it was sophisticated enough for drunk
audiences.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Yorker</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>magazine,
titled King Cole: The not so merry soul of Cole Porter, writer John Lahr
describes Porter’s state of being as he arrived in <st1:city><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city>. He says that the composer’s entire
life was one fashioned on not revealing his true self.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“From the moment in 1905 when the
elfin fourteen-year-old from a powerful lumber and mining family in Peru,
Indiana — the pampered and only surviving one of three siblings — arrived at
Worcester Academy, in Massachusetts, with his paintings and an upright piano
for his dorm room, he cast himself as a kind of dandy,” Lahr wrote. “The
dandy’s strategy is to combine daring with tact, flamboyance with distance.
Instead of breaking the rules, Porter learned to play with them. “At boarding
school I was always taught,” he wrote in ‘I’m in Love,’ “not to reveal what I
really thought, / Nor ever once let my eyes betray / The dreadful things I
longed to say.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Life That Late He Led</em>, another Porter biographer<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>George
Eells</strong><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>wrote this
about Porter’s arrival at <st1:place><st1:placename>Worcester</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>: “From the first, he used his
considerable array of talents – wit, music, energy, intelligence, enthusiasm
and precocious conversational powers – to ingratiate himself with everyone from
the headmaster’s wife to the athletic coach. It was typical of him that during
his freshman year, having discovered picture postcards, he bombarded
acquaintances with witty messages, even those classmates whom he saw every
day.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Porter excelled both socially and
academically at <st1:place><st1:placename>Worcester</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>. He was a member of the drama,
mandolin (music) and glee clubs. In his junior year, as a member of Sigma Zeta
Kappa, the school’s debating society, he won the Dexter prize for public
speaking and upon graduating, he was the class valedictorian.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If<span class="apple-converted-space"> Porter </span>was a favorite of the
headmaster, it was Mrs. Abercrombie who became his patron. Schwartz wrote: “In
her drawing room, she plopped a cushion on the piano stool (so that Cole could
reach the keyboard) and sat enthralled as he played selections from MacDowell.
Mrs. Abercrombie thought him brilliant and Cole soon realized that his musical
accomplishments were to stand him in even better stead in <st1:state><st1:place>Massachusetts</st1:place></st1:state> than in <st1:state><st1:place>Indiana</st1:place></st1:state>. For after his success at the
Abercrombies, he was often invited to faculty wives’ parlors where his good
manners, worldly chatter and easy amiability delighted adults.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While Porter reportedly wrote a
number of tunes while attending the school, sadly none of the pieces have ever been
located. Schwartz wrote that Porter had his own upright piano in his living
quarters where he played and sang popular tunes for his classmates. “Cole often
amused friends with musical takeoffs on the more obvious idiosyncrasies of faculty
members as well as with renditions of risque tunes of his own … From all
reports, all these early smutty songs were particular favorites of Cole’s
peers.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Eells, Porter
characterized the songs years later as the kind of material that was heard in
second-rate dives. “But, in 1908 these songs garnered enormous popularity for
him as he performed them privately for his classmates and the more liberal-minded faculty members,” Eells said. “The only three numbers that he could
recall in later years were “The Tattooed Gentleman,,” “Fi Fi, Fifi,” and The
Bearded Lady.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These bawdy tunes almost got Porter
expelled. Evidently Headmaster Abercrombie caught wind of the off-color pieces
and demanded that Porter play them for him. Legend has it that in the middle of
“Bearded Lady,” Abercrombie was so outraged by what he had heard he forbade
the composer to ever play the songs again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Porter recounted the incident in the
Eells biography. “My own peculiar talents in musical composition first came to
light at <st1:city><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city>,” he said. “I indulged in writing songs that today would be
considered rather boring in any good café but then were damned as downright
risqué. I sang them to assorted groups, including a select number of the
faculty. Finally the headmaster called me in. After hearing one, he threatened
me with expulsion if I wrote more. I continued writing, of course, and my
friends said nothing about it.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

half-dozen biographies of Porter tell certain stories about his <st1:city><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city> years, but don’t answer all the
questions. “Some mysteries have been solved,” he writes. “Some endure. Although
Callahan doesn’t say so, it is conceivable that past academy movers and shakers
were sometimes uncertain about the appropriate recognition for the school’s
most famous graduate in its 170-plus years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“There is no Cole Porter building on
campus, no Cole Porter room. The archives from 1905 to 1909 — Porter’s time —
cry for further indexing and study. When the academy created its Hall of Fame
in 1976, the oh-so-famed Porter was not in the first group to be honored, or in
the second. In fact, it took five years before his name was added to the 25 men
and women already honored.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The harshest criticism Achorn fires
at the school may be directed towards the fate of one of the pianos Porter
played. “He was allowed to bring an upright piano into his dormitory room. He
played it often for the enjoyment of fellow students,” he wrote. “At other
times, he played classical works, and some of his own, on the Chickering grand
piano in the Megaron recreation hall right behind Walker Hall on campus. The
Megaron is still in rich use today, but the Chickering, replaced and in
disrepair, collects dust in the attic. The contrast with the Waldorf-Astoria’s
long-term zeal in keeping “Cole Porter’s piano” in a place of honor in its
Peacock Alley restaurant may be suggestive of a campus attitude.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

also recognizes the contribution of Callahan, saying, “He is not the first

the songs Porter wrote in his </span><st1:city style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15pt;"><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 15pt;"> stay.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Achorn said that Callahan still hopes
that academy records will produce the “Class Song” Porter wrote for the June
1909 graduation. “It might be printed in the graduation program,” he wrote.
“That at least could provide some hint of the quality of his work in <st1:city><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 15pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In summation, Achorn wrote that the
broader influence of <st1:city><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city> and the academy on Porter is
difficult to quantify. “Obviously, Abercrombie’s love of Greek language and
tradition was significant. Porter’s later work is laced with references to
Greek and Roman mythology, particularly in his 1950 musical<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Out
of This World</em>. So there were many influences here. Not all are
clear and sharp. But Frank Callahan, with his growing collection of Porter
material reflecting his interest, continues to follow every lead.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Henry Tobias was the youngest of three songwriting brothers, who were known as the Royal Family or Esquires of Tin Pan Alley. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Born in Worcester and raised at 79 Harrison Street (second floor of the three-decker), he was a notable songwriter and pianist, who with his brothers, Charlie and Harry, wrote thousands of songs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Henry Tobias’ career spanned more than eight decades. As music writer Warren W. Vache points out in his book, <i>The Unsung Songwriters, America’s Masters of Melody</i>, Tobias performed as a pianist in vaudeville, wrote special material (including a song to save former president Richard Nixon from impeachment) for stars of stage and radio, and for nightclubs and theater. </span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Cousin, Eddie Cantor</span></i></span></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> As told to T&G writer James Lee: “Undoubtedly the most important influence in my life was Eddie Cantor. He was married to my first cousin Ida Tobias Cantor. I was only 10 years old, when I heard that cousin Ida had married a skinny pop-eyed vaudeville actor.</span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> She wrote that Eddie was going to appear at the Poli Theater in <st1:place><st1:city>Worcester</st1:city>, <st1:state>Mass.</st1:state></st1:place>, where I was born and where we lived. We were told that he planned to pay us a visit. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> In those days the parlor was only used for special occasions such as weddings, bar mitzvahs, funerals and in the event we had a distinguished visitor or important relative. Eddie Cantor was our first celebrity. The moment he knocked on the door and stepped inside the parlor, I fell in love with this dynamic personality.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> My mother (whom he afterwards affectionately called Aunt Min) was excited and greeted him royally, Eddie was always the life of the party and was always on, as they say in show biz. Mom had her precious dishes hanging on the wall of the parlor. We were always warned never to touch or go near them for fear we would break them. Eddie grabbed two of them. “I’ll never forget his big trick. He would place the plate on his bent elbow and let go. Just as it was about to crash on the floor he would grab it and yell. Mom screamed in dismay, but when he caught it and laughed, we all laughed along.</span></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> He invited the entire family to be his guests at the evening performance at Poli’s. We all went and sat in a box. If you think Eddie had pop-eyes you should have seen my eyes pop when Eddie introduced us from the stage.</span></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Result of all this: I was bitten by the show biz bug and determined to be part of it in some way or other. After Eddie left <st1:city><st1:place>Worcester</st1:place></st1:city> I started learning one of his songs, ‘I’m Hungry for Beautiful Girls,’ and the next year I entered Poli’s amateur contest and won $2 for second prize imitating Eddie Cantor. I was hooked and became a confirmed ham.”</span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">That was
in 1950. Unfortunately, in the years since, it has not fared as well. Its
vintage sound and sentiment immediately evokes a bygone era. Though each had
prolific careers, “Miss You” is one of the few songs that the Tobias boys wrote
together. It was revived in 1959 by singer Jaye P. Morgan and charted at #78 on
the Billboard Hot 100. The song has also
appeared in the films of <i>Come Back to The Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean</i> and most
recently, <i>Atonement</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

closest candidate to consider is “Can’t Find the Time (To Tell You),” made
popular by the 1960’s rock band, Orpheus. It was written by </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Worcester</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> boy <b>Bruce Arnold</b> and first
released in January of 1968. The tune made the <i>Billboard Magazine</i> “Hot 100” list.

since been covered by a collection of bands and singers from Rose Colored Glass
to Hootie & the Blowfish and can be heard in the Farrelly brothers’ film, <i>Me, Myself, and Irene</i>, starring Jim

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Arnold, a
singer-songwriter and guitarist, is both a man of his time and a throwback.
From the start, he was an old soul who was hard to peg. With a rich and
articulate baritone, his voice smacks of beyond-his-years maturity and reaches back to a time when singers ruled the
airwaves of the late 1940s and early ‘50s.

three-quarter time waltz that shifted to a brief instrumental in 5/4 time at the
end. Everybody would fade down …. Then Harry [Sandler] would fade in and I'd
drop out. Harry was an incredible show drummer, and he'd give the fans several
minutes of his artistry. Then he'd go 'rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat' and we'd break
into ‘Can’t Find the Time.’ Audiences would go nuts!”</span></div>

He also recorded with American stars, such as Paul Robeson, who delivered a powerful rendition of Gershwin’s classic, “Summertime.”</span></div>

Carroll and his band provided a sliver of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic and desperate time. During the bombing of London, instead of halting the show and seeking shelter, Carroll Gibbons and his band, The Savoy Hotel Orpheans, would play through the air raid sirens, anti-aircraft cannons and exploding bombs -- anything to entertain and encourage the troops and the ‘blitzed’ in attendance.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">This
catlike song has had a series of lives in its career. First, in the late 1920s
with Metaxa and Gibbons; it was also recorded before the decade was out by Gene
Austin, John McCormick and George Olsen. “A Garden in the Rain,” has been
recorded virtually every decade since and by a rash of disparate artists from
Gene Austin to Perry Como, from the Four Aces to Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.</span></div>

opening lines are fragrant with more than a whiff of sentiment, yet the
melody’s lyricism is undeniable. “T'was just a garden in the rain / Close to a

perfumed thank you / They seemed to say.”</span></div>

construction is a 32-bar song form. The opening “A” section’s harmony sets up
this elegant melody beautifully, but the minor bridge alternating from the I-minor
to the V-chord before shifting to a similar sequence of I-major to the V-chord
is what gives the song its uniqueness and majesty. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

1930s, “I May Be Wrong,” has been a favorite of jazz artists from Red Nichols
and his Five Pennies to Hoagy Charmichael and the Chicadees. And, with its cool, self-effacing, and smart turn-of-phrase lyrics it has also been a fave of singers
from Libby Holman and Judy Garland to Peggy Lee and Etta Jones. And, with its
hip harmonic changes, instrumentalists from Coleman Hawkins to Miles Davis have

Kay Kyser also fared well. And, according to M. Paul Holsinger, author of <i>War and
American Popular Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia</i>, author M. Paul Holsinger,
“This was one of only a few times in history that three different recordings of
the same song reached the radio’s <i>Hit Parade</i> simultaneously.” As writer
George T. Simon pointed out in his <i>Big Band Songbook</i>, “Don’t Sit Under the
Apple Tree” proved to be custom made for its times, when boys were away from
their girls, wondering what they were doing, with each group avidly hoping that
the other would heed the original words of Charlie Tobias not to ‘sit under the
apple tree,’ and especially Lew Brown’s follow-up line of ‘with anyone else but
me.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 19px;">As Ted Gioia points out in his book, </span><i style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 19px;">Jazz Standards</i><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 19px;">, Duke Ellington enjoyed a number one hit with "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart" in 1938, “and other bandleaders were quick to follow up with their own renditions. The same week that Ellington topped the charts, both Benny Goodman and Red Norvo recorded versions, as did Hot Lips Page the following week.” The piece was originally written as an instrumental. The tune grew out of an improvised riff that Ellington alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges played another melody, “Once in a While.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 19px;">It was Duke’s manager, Irving Mills who organized a coterie of songwriters to come up with lyrics for the piece. Gioia wrote that he was, “not surprised at this composition’s popularity, especially during the Swing Era, given how well it works both in dance hall and concert settings. The melody has a powerful hook in the opening phrase, with its syncopation on the word ‘song’ and jazzy triplet to open the second measure.” Gioia points out further that the tune found new audiences in the 1950s through recordings by Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and Stan Getz. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">The meteoric career and tragically short life of Einar (Eino) William Swan began in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Fitchburg, MA</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> in 1903. The son of Finnish immigrants, the family later moved to </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Worcester</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> -- either 1917 or 1918 -- where he attended </span><st1:place><st1:placename><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Commerce</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><st1:placetype><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">High School</span></st1:placetype></st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">His middle name, William, was later changed to Aaron after converting to the Jewish faith. In his masterful biography titled <i>Who Was Einar Swan? A Study in Jazz Age Fame and Oblivion</i>, Swedish historian and musician Sven Bejerstedt, reported that Swan’s family lived at a variety addresses in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Worcester</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">, including at </span><st1:street><st1:address><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">11 Elliott Street</span></st1:address></st1:street><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> (1918), </span><st1:street><st1:address><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">16 Glen Street</span></st1:address></st1:street><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> (1920), and </span><st1:street><st1:address><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">42 Marivista Road</span></st1:address></st1:street><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> (1930). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">The Swan family was a musical tribe. His father, John Swan, not only played a variety of musical instruments, gave lessons, and led a series of bands in the Finnish-American community, but was a maker of instruments as well. His mother, Edla, was a singer and all of his eight siblings played music as well. Einar was considered the prodigy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">In a 1915 article in the <i>Worcester Telegram</i> the proud father is quoted saying, “Einar W. Swan, my oldest boy and the musical genius of the family, was born at </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Fitchburg</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> 12 years ago, and showed musical talent when he was 2 ½ years old. He first played the organ and later on I found that he loved to play violin.... I can sit and dream of the day when he will become as great in name and ability as our present day nationally prominent musicians.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

and arranger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

He also displayed a predilection for non-classical music that was going to have impact on his future life and career: For he introduced novel rhythms, and unknown notes into the compositions he played. He was making jazz, though he didn’t know it.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">As writer Bjerstedt stated, Swan’s exploration of jazz was “no whim.” He points out that the author of the standard, “When Your Lover Has Gone,” later elaborated on the subject. “Jazz,” Swan said, “is coming and perfectly legitimate development of modern music. All musicians are turning to it, some more, some less. The modern way of syncopating the classics is extremely popular and is bringing the best things in music to the people who never hear them before. Jazz is now firmly established, the music of the future, and already has become classic in a certain way; the only difference being that it is more alive than the older type of music.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">After graduating from Commerce, Swan formed the Swanie Serenaders affording him the opportunity to “play his own kind of music.” Organized in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Worcester</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> in 1922, the group featured among others pianist Sam Swenson, drummer Ernest Paul, violinist Julius Levinsky, banjo player Joe Toscano, trumpeter Billy Conn, trombonist Oscar Werme, and its leader Swan who doubled on all reeds. Werme would later switch to the tuba and join Paul Whiteman’s Leviathan Orchestra.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">The popular band was, as one local reported wrote, “all right, but Einar Swan stuck out from the rest of them like a bar of soap in a coal skuttle, and it wasn’t long before he received an offer from the famous Roseland Gardens in New York city, an offer which he accepted.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Swan’s next gig was with the Vincent Lopez Orchestra, in its day, the only rival to Paul Whiteman as one of the more popular bands in the country.

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">According to Vaché, in spite of it being a hit, Swan made no attempt to cash in on its success with a flurry of follow-ups. He points to “A Room With a View,” as the only other song of note, singling out Helen Forrest’s recording on Bluebird.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">In addition to playing lead alto saxophone, Swan began to writing arrangements for Lopez, a skill that he would also be recognized for and one that he would eventually make a fateful transition to full-time. In fact, after leaving the band, Swan worked mainly as an arranger for several orchestras, “among others those of pianist-conductor Gustave Haenschen, Russian-American violinist David Rubinoff, the Paramount Theatre, New York, Raymond Paige and the Westinghouse Symphony Orchestra,” reported Bejerstedt.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

In a letter to his brother, Walter, Einar confided in him speaking of his health issues. “Four years ago a doctor told me that I had very high blood pressure. I didn’t do anything about it and about two years ago I had a hemorrhage and stayed in a hospital for four weeks. In the doctors’ opinion there is nothing organically wrong but they think I have inherited the condition from mother.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
reviewing this song, musician Max Morath wrote this of its author: “The popular music world might have heard a lot more from Einar Swan if
he hadn’t died in the midst of an active career as an
arranger and composer in the radio and concert business.” Of the classic,
“’When Your Lover Has Gone,” Morath said: “[Swan] composed this one great torch
song, and the torch has been carried ever since.” The tune has been covered by
all the greats – Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Sinatra, to
name a few -- as well as such legendary singers as Ethel Waters, Lee Wiley,
Maxine Sullivan, and Sarah Vaughan. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Throughout
his teen years, Goodwin performed as a monologist -- a solo artist who gives
dramatic readings from works of literature, either as a poetry, monologue or
soliloquy. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">He worked in a variety of musical troupes that toured the circuit
during the Vaudeville era, all the while continuing to hone his craft as a
developing songwriter.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Among his
early work is “Billy" (For When I Walk), published in 1911, written with James
Kendis and Herman Paley. First introduced by Billy Clifford, it became a
vaudeville favorite. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It was first recorded by the American Quartet, and later
by singer Bonnie Baker with the Orrin Tucker Orchestra for Vocalion, reaching
No. 10 on the pop charts of the day. In 1914, at the age of 25, Goodwin became
a member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers).</span><br />

stateside, he worked as a talent agent and had his own publishing company. In
1919, Goodwin collaborated with Ballard MacDonald and James F. Hanley to write
“Breeze" (Blow My Baby Back To Me), a piece that Warren W. Vache
said, “has endeared itself to jazz musicians with its interesting and moving
melodic line and its hospitality toward improvisation. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Illustrating this is the Bluebird recording by the irrepressible Wingy Manone.” The piece was also recorded by Clarence Williams, Leon Redbone, Al Hirt, and Al Hibbler, among others. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia";">Evidently
Goodwin was a merry prankster. In 1920, fellow songwriter
Fred Fisher published a tune called “Daddy, You’ve Been a Mother to Me.” Music
writer Arnold Shaw in his book, <i>The Jazz Age: Popular Music in the 1920s</i>
retells the tale this way: “After Prohibition, the Globe Café on Broadway near </span><st1:street><st1:address><span style="font-family: "georgia";">47th Street</span></st1:address></st1:street></span><span style="font-family: "georgia";"><span style="font-size: large;"> was turned into a freak
exhibition hall, with freaks stationed on platforms selling photographs, and
performing similar tasks. When Fisher was about to release ‘Daddy, You’ve Been
a Mother to Me,’ Joe Goodwin purchased a photograph of the bearded lady and
sent it to Fisher with the suggestion that he use it as the illustration on the
song cover.” Shaw went on to say that Fisher never forgave Goodwin. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

moved to </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia";">Hollywood</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "georgia";"> in 1929, where he wrote for a series of films and local
revues. His most prominent work is a collection of song for the film, <i>Hollywood
Revue</i>. Charles King sang his “Your Mother and Mine,” in which Jack Benny played
the violin. Cliff Edwards – also known as Ukulele Ike -- sang Goodwin’s “Nobody
But You,” and “Orange Blossom Time,” while Bessie Love sang his “I Never Knew I
Could Do A Thing Like That.” There is an interesting sequence in the film where
The Albertina Rasch Ballet performs to Goodwin’s “Orange Blossom Time.” The
dance production is choreographed by Sammy Lee.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: large;">Over the
years, Goodwin’s work has appeared in the repertoires of many jazz musicians
from Bix Beiderbecke to Art Pepper. Although much of his lyrics appear on the
surface to be dated and not relevant, Goodwin and his collaborators constructed
architecturally strong pieces. If put in the hands of today’s creative artists,
the quality of Goodwin’s work will hopefully be rediscovered and performed
anew. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Armstrong made three different recordings of the song, 1929, 1932,
and 1956. Through the years it has been covered by a host of jazz greats
including, King Oliver, Lester Young, Benny Goodman, and Art Pepper, and such
singers as Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Nat Cole, and Frankie Laine. It was a
favorite of Dean Martin and Judy Garland who sang it regularly in concert and
it appeared in variety of films, including <i>King of Jazz</i>, <i>Cotton Club,</i> and <i>Swing
High</i>. It was the title track of Meet Danny Wilson sung by Sinatra and Frankie
Laine sang the song in the film of the same name, <i>When You’re Smiling</i>. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">As mentioned, Irene Higginbotham carried a series of names. One of the more confusing is Glenn Gibson. According to All Music Guide the tag was nothing more than a “name on paper.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">“Glenn Gibson shows up as the composer of material in styles such as classic blues, jazz, R&B, and doo-wop in the late '40s and throughout the '50s,” wrote Eugene Chadbourne for the site. “To suggest that the name was larger than life is totally appropriate, since Glenn Gibson represented the publishing interests of more than one person. For awhile, Glenn Gibson was Irene Higginbotham. Around 1954, Glenn Gibson turned into Bertha Knapp, aka Phoebe Snow, Rinky Scott Jones, and Adrienne Garblikand.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Explaining the reason for such name changing ploys, Chadbourne continues: “Pianist, bandleader, songwriter, and singer Higginbotham became Gibson in order to place material with both competing performing rights societies, ASCAP and </span><st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">BMI</span></st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">.

One obvious advantage would be that funds would thus accumulate in a tidy row of smaller pools rather than an enormous one that might be heavily taxed.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

And, given her skill as a composer, Higginbotham was also prevailed upon as a copyist. One of her best known roles in this capacity is her work on the book, </span><st1:place><i><st1:placename><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Boogie-Woogie</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><st1:placetype><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Land</span></st1:placetype></i></st1:place><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">, an album of selected boogie-woogie favorites, old and new for the piano compiled and edited by Sammy Price. </span></div>

this exquisite song is far better known than its composer. “Given how few women
manage to make a mark in the male-dominated songwriting industry during the
first half of the twentieth century, and almost total exclusion of
African-American women from the field, one would think that curiosity alone
would have given some notoriety to Higginbotham’s career,” Gioia wrote. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14pt;">Will Friedwald said it was Drake who penned the lyric. “At age 26,” he wrote, “the
lyricist was dating a young showgirl named Edith Bein; he already regarded her
as the love of his life, but when she began to be courted by ‘all these Wall
Street types,’ as he put it, ‘I felt like I couldn't compete, so I just
withdrew from her life.’ After they parted, "I couldn't sleep for months;
those were what we used to call 'white nights,' where you stay up all night."
When he heard a haunting melody by Irene Higginbotham, niece of the
trombonist J.C. Higginbotham, ‘it hit me -- smack! This is exactly what I
felt when Edith left me. So in about 20 minutes I wrote the whole lyric to
'Good Morning Heartache.'"</span></div>

said that Fisher’s contribution was to bring the song “to the attention of
Billie Holiday. The singer insisted on recording it with a string orchestra,
for the first time in her career, resulting in a iconic hit. At the record date
(in January 1946), Mr. Drake remembers, "I wasn't in the control room -- I
was right next to Lady Day. She was standing at the microphone, and I was on a
chair, within arm's length. She did it in one take, and it was marvelous."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In writer
Burlingame’s estimation, Harry Tobias’ “most famous song, and one that is
solidly in the jazz standards repertoire, is “Sweet and Lovely.” Her opinion is
hard to dispute given that fact that no less than Woody Herman, Teddy Wilson,
Dexter Gordon, Flip Phillips, Coleman Hawkins, Ella Fitzgerald, and Thelonious
Monk, have all covered the work. Written in 1931 with Gus Arnheim, and Charles
N. Daniels, the song was first introduced by the Gus Arnheim Orchestra and soon
after it was soon recorded by Russ Columbo and Bing Crosby. “It’s sweet melody
lingered and in 1944, it was revived in the film <i>Two Girls and a Sailor</i>,
starring June Allyson, Gloria DeHaven and Van Johnson,” said music writer Gail
Masinda Hunt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
