    Spike Jones didn't mess around with amateurs in his band--he was known to be very demanding--and any of his musicians had to be the best at their craft, and Wilbur Hal was no exception. You can bet that these bits were literally timed to the second.

    Wilbur Hall was a member of Paul Whiteman's orchestra for many years and is featured in the 1930 Technicolor feature "King of Jazz," available on DVD and Blu-ray from Criterion.

    Wilbur had been doing this and other musical gags since the 1920s, when he played trombone in the Paul Whiteman band. In their movie, _King of Jazz,_ he plays "Stars and Stripes Forever" on a bicycle pump.

    somewhere in the sony pictures vault there's an epsisode of the gong show from the 70s where wilbur hall did this routine as a contestant -- i genuinely wish that episode was floating around on youtube.

      I remember seeing that! I stumbled across this just now, and had an amazing deja vu experience. At the time (and until just now), I had no idea that the old man on the Gong Show was a Spike Jones alumnus. It was one of the three most memorable acts (for me) from that show.

    Holy cow! I want to say that this is fake, but Spike was all about live performances. No pre-recorded anything, all done live. As amazing as Mr. Hal was, the rest of Spikes band was equally as talented.

    The Spike Jones song I want is "Your Morning Feature", recorded under the one-off pseudonym The Country Dodgers. Recorded in the 1930's it had its one and only broadcast ever on the 3rd show of 1990 of the Dr. Demento show. The record was a promo by Standard Recording, sent to radio stations under the spoof label "Standirt Recording". Considered far too risque to broadcast in the 30's and decades later, it didn't raise a hair in 1990.

    musical quotes in this performance:
    (corrections and additions welcomed!)
    0:37 "Music Music Music" (Put Another Nickel In) (Stephen Weiss & Bernie Baum)
    0:44 sounds familiar (I don't recognize it)
    1:06 also sounds familiar (anyone know it?)
    1:09 Pop Goes the Weasel itself actually started
    1:28 don't recognize it
    1:34 Bolero (Maurice Ravel)
    1:42 sounds like The Peanut Vendor (El manisero) (Moisés Simons)
    but maybe isn't (?)
    1:53 Chansonette AKA "Donkey Serenade" (Rudolf Friml)
    (he starts this melody with pizzicato and finishes by bowing it)

    great performance, but ...
    why are faces of the 3 guys sitting behind artificially blurred @ parts of this?

    • @88THUMBS
      @88THUMBS Před měsícem +1

      They are not blurred, it’s just the lack of clarity from the kinescope recording. The show was done live, before the era of video tape, and the show was recorded by a 16mm movie camera in front of a b&w monitor. I believe the camera recorded at 30 frames per second rather than the standard 24 FPS so it would sync with the scanning of the monitor.

    It is obvious that these musicians needed to be professionals in order to be comedic while playing amatuers couldnt perform like this
