The Codger's an old coot but he's OUR old coot and we love him! Even though he's tight with a dollar and refused to tip the nice lady waitress at the Flamingo the other day. Told her to bet on Flossie's A Goner in the third race at Belmont or some such nonsense...

A section of the ending of Dawn on the Desert by the John Kirby Orchestra (9:24 to 9:38 of this archive) has the same melody as the chorus of Henry Mancini's It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera) from The Pink Panther (http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=12705&archive=15844&starttime=2:02:52).

Dr.Mr.Courtney,
I know you are a Codger, but I deeply think that the accrued effort would be minimum if you could post at least the year of each wonderful recording that you show. This is the first time I hear your program although it was a very long standing aspiration. I'm your most humble colleague from Listener Hour and from Brazil. Do put that damn year, Codger, please, so that we could evaluate the records even better. Anyway, what a hell of wonderful program I've just discovered and I've already downloaded a dozen of them.A hubba-hubba-hubba, mighty smoky over Tokyo, all those foolish things...
