Kate Smith

Crown 227 was recorded August 19th, 1936.

The only other British recording of the tune was by Victor Sylvester & His Ballroom Orchestra, but it became very popular here in the US around 1940 with recordings by Dick Robertson, Sammy Kaye, Dinah Shore, The Ink Spots, Kate Smith, and Harry James.

Before that was Dolly Kaye with The Georgians under the direction of Frank Guarente, with The Maybe written by Fred Ahlert, Ted Snyder, and Roy Turk.

The full title of the song on the Waterson, Berlin, and Snyder sheet music is Maybe (With She'll Write Me, She'll Phone Me).

And, and it, and it ties into this, 'cause this attempts to make that canon of this, but we can, we can all loop round to that.

Well, not that version, not the actual Kate Smith version.

[laughs]

Um.

Now, I don't understand that kind of music.

Whatever happened to the songs that Kate Smith and Pat Boone sang? I mean, those guys

sang real songs.

Well, I don't know much about music, Stuffy, but I do know one thing, that you managed to keep your sense of humor.

He did some programs for the Hour of Charm.

He wrote specials for Kate Smith, you know, the 15-minute little dramas that appeared on Kate Smith.

I don't know that he wrote them all, but he wrote several of them.

Very talented person, and I think somebody who's been neglected too long.

Hello, everybody.

This is Kate Smith, or Jack Benny, talking.

You see how nervous I am? I mean, not so much because I'm broadcasting, but I think all my relatives are listening in, and I don't want them to know that I'm working.

Although I have an older brother that I'm quite fond of.

Cleveland, another tricky team for this exercise.

My question mark I put down as a guest was Kate Smith, a team that has been built on bullpens in past years.

And I was kind of comparing their bullpens to some of the previous teams.

I guess I don't know.

In 1918, he thought it was a kind of cheesy song and it was a little too sappy, and so he put it in a drawer and did not look at it for the next 20 years.

But in 1938, when Kate Smith, who was one of the most famous singers in the United States, came to him and said that she wanted an anthem to sing for Armistice Day.

He pulled it out of the drawer, revised it, and gave it to her as God Bless America.

Some of you may know that Armistice Day in 1938 was November 11th.

Six shutout innings from there.

Hunter Gattis, Kate Smith, squirrels, eighth and ninth innings.

Mason Barnett, three runs a lot in three and a third innings.

Scott Blewett, well, he blew it.

So many guys with above a .350 ERA, now Basso, they're utilizing him a little bit more as a starter, so now you're probably going to be relying upon Drew Rahm a bit more on this bullpen with his over five ERA moving forward.

Seth Johnson has not been great, and On the other end for the Cleveland Guardians, ever since July 1st, they've been a top-six team in terms of opening.

I recognize that they're dealing with a little bit of an injury to Colin Holderman, but you've had a lot of these guys like Hunter Gaddis, obviously your closer, Kate Smith, Eric Zabrowski, step up with a sub-350.

You're right, Craig Yoho has been a little bit up and down, but has been able to find it a bit more here recently.
