[@Trombonology]

Walter Winchell -- slinger of gossip in print and, as the insistent little intro and coda figure alludes, airwaves -- played himself in Twentieth Century-Fox' _Love and Hisses_ whence our song was introduced. Here, Jones band stalwart Eddie Stone begs for Winchell to spread the word about the vocalist's budding romance! Isham's orch, my favourite white band of the pre-Swing Era, was soon to fold, but the outfit was going out in style.
