It's already the end of January, 1949. Frank Barton is back with some more shtick, and our steady foursome too: Bob, Ralph Collier on drums, Jud De Naut on bass, and Ray Sherman at the piano. The guys feel particularly in sync on tonight's show, right from the start of "Sweet Georgia Brown". Back on January 10, Los Angeles got a half inch of snow (the valley almost a foot!) in what remains an epic weather event in city history. Perhaps that provided inspiration for Bob to broadcast "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm", the Irving Berlin standard. Margo Powers steps in and si hable "Frenesi" very nicely. Bob cues in the guys for "Tenderly", in the original 3/4 time and Ralph doubling on vibes, before Margo returns once again for "This Can't Be Love". The quartet wraps the month with a very picante pass at "Dark Eyes", before walking out once again to "Lady Be Good".
