Had to share my favorite Harry James anecdote. My parents began dating in 1939 and my father was working as a guide at the NY World's Fair. To impress my mother, he scored some first-row tickets to a Harry James concert that summer at the fair. It was a hot night and my parents sat down with refreshments, in the case of my mother a lemonade with a lemon floating in it, which my mother then proceeded to suck on. Harry James came forward to play, made eye contact with my mother sucking on a lemon and found he couldn't pucker up to play. He pointed them out and had my parents removed from the front row. I laugh every time I think of it . . .
ReplyDeleteP.S. It was broadcast live via local radio, so somewhere (I doubt it) there may even be a recording of my parents being removed from the show.
ReplyDeleteFunny anecdote, thanks for sharing.
