The link, below, is to a post on this blog from ten years ago.
The post (to which I made a few changes, before including the link, here) concerned, in part, two recordings from July, 1951 (one by Louis Armstrong, and one by the George Siravo Orchestra); it also concerned a weekly television show from 1951 starring bandleader Freddy Martin, The Freddy Martin Show (also known as The Hazel Bishop Show, after its lipstick sponsor). The program--on which my mother was a regular guest--aired on NBC from July to November of 1951. I wrote about the program in my book about early TV.
There are a couple of references, in the original post, to "sixty years ago": "sixty years ago this month," and "sixty years ago this week."
The passage of time most certainly startles; those references, if written today, would read "seventy years ago." My mother's first appearance on Freddy Martin's program--a show which in addition to Martin and his orchestra starred singer Merv Griffin, pianist Murray Arnold, and the vocal group The Martin Men--took place seventy years ago today.
