Here's a bit of Hollywood Cheese . I don't know who the musicians are, but the tune is "Hola E Pae" or "Five O'Clock Hula".
I think the guy getting his head slapped at the end is the soundman. Oh wait, that's just my fantasy. |

| Eleanor Powell toured with Andy Iona in the the late thirties. She and Red Skelton did at least a couple movies together-Ship Ahoy and I Dood It. |

| The soundman, lol! I ran sound for a club that had a giant P.A. with a bad cross-over, bad monitor amp and other problems that would creep up during shows when I was rotating between 4 bands a night. The club owner would keep saying "just make it work". I was never hated more in my life by other musicians than that nightmare job. Come to think of it, posting here is a lot like being a sound man sometimes, HA... |

| They don't make 'em like that any more. Pass the cheese, please. Wink wink, nudge nudge. |

Gerald,
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy much of the Hollywood stuff too, especially when the cheese includes cheesecake.
The wink wink, nudge nudge bit refers to a Monty Python skit.

| Oh believe me, I enjoy the Hollywood glitz too. It is indeed a part of history. I just like to call it, well, something else. |

Hey,
I get it.
It's a comedy. Red Skelton is in it. 
Was the steel player Andy Iona or Eddy Bush? A nice looking, 1930's silver Rickenbacker frypan, huh?
Aloha,

THAT'S IT! Thanks Dan.
Everyone should go watch this clip.
Everyone should go watch this clip.
Everyone should go watch this clip.
Did I say that everyone should watch this clip?
It'll take awhile to download but it is worth it. Watch the entire clip you won't be disappointed.
The guy who is hosting the video calls it "the greatest production number ever". I have to agree. The whole clip just flows.
No special effects whatsoever. Just pure talent and energy.
If the audio sounds wobbly. Once it starts playing press stop then start again. That should fix it.

Wow, that was incredible!
Was that Louis Armstrong and Lena Horne at the end of the clip?
Now for something completely different, Wes Montgomery and quartet burning it up on Coltrane's "Impressions"
