Here I an in 2020 watching this performance from 70 years ago...and enjoying it immensely. I wonder if the sprits of all of those musicians know how much they’re appreciated.

These were some of the best musicians of their day, or any day since for that matter. Their comedy/lyrics/musicianship were a big part of my growing up years and I am thankful for that. Spike Jones was just great!

The guys playing hand bells were simply amazing to stay in pitch like that. So many bells on the table, how the hell do you know which ones to pick up?

The beauty on the right of the plate/broken plate player wears a look of surprise at times, mingled with fear. Oh, it must have been great fun to work for Spike!

The Spike Jones song is called Down South, the 45 rpm record of this is a different version, even without the plate noises, it is different. Too bad they do not have stuff like this out today, and this was before my time, but still like it.

I think that was Mickey Katz on the muted trumpet in the first number.

My favorite part is the man who with two paddle balls plays the chimes. I’ve always loved the chimes-there is something very stately and majestic in their song

Holiday for Strings. Actually it may be Gay Spirits. They are pretty similar
