At the time it made me mad, but it got under my skin anyway. Unfortunately there was no Andrews Sisters in my house. Just Ella Mae Morse and "Cow Cow Boogie", which I was about to share, but instead here's "The House Of Blue Lights". Dig the Jive at the top.<br /><br /><a href="http://alanwalkerart.com/audio/the_house_of_blue_lights.mp3" title="The House Of Blue Lights" rel="nofollow">http://alanwalkerart.com/audio/the_house_of_blue_lights.mp3</a>buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-7378348214498439072013-01-31T14:17:05.664-08:002013-01-31T14:17:05.664-08:00UPDATE: I forgot I had the CD.

The thing about the Andrews Sisters was not only could they sing but their dancing or whatever it was was great fun, and they always seemed to be enjoying themselves out there as much as the audience did. <br /><br />My first 78 was their Chattanooga Choo Choo and their vinyl two-record greatest hits collection had its grooves worn down by my old Panasonic stereo. I can still see the cover. Listened to their "Hold Tight" yesterday along with "Rum and Coca Cola," credited with some interesting controversy to Morey Amsterdam.jeff knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-5797827999995965172013-01-31T05:05:04.055-08:002013-01-31T05:05:04.055-08:00I did experience one of those strange "didn&#...I did experience one of those strange "didn't know she was still alive" moments when I saw the news of Miss Andrews's passing yesterday. She lived a good, long life, that's for sure. I discovered the Andrews Sisters when I first saw Buck Privates on the afternoon movie at my grandma's house in west Texas. And yes, it was the harmonies... There was also something endearingly clumsy about their moves, and how cute they were in their WAC (or whatever) uniforms, with the impeccable iron hairdos, so different from the '60s hippie aesthetic I was drawn to.<br /><br />It was some time before I discovered the Boswells, whose extraordinary musicianship and sidemen were worlds beyond the straight-ahead big-band sound of the Andrews goils, but the Andrews Sisters were their own thing: unambiguous, direct, and right on the beat.misospecialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746740239194445506noreply@blogger.com
