Facing the Music Continued from page 10 was born in Buenos Aires of English parents, in 1916. His father was a rancher and his mother a noted concert singer. Music didn't play an important part in his life until he was fifteen. Then came years of hard work. He sang, as he describes it, in joints, followed by a sustaining program at KHJ in Los Angeles, and acted and sang in some Western movies. Not content with merely radio and acting, Dick tried his talents at song writing. But he left all this behind when he joined Harry James as featured singer. He sang with James' band for three years, thought of forming his own band, but joined Benny Goodman's band instead. From present indications, Dick's voice will be a feature of the Goodman organization for a long time to come. He is married to former showgirl Joanne Marshall and is expecting a blessed event. * * * John Clark, featured vocalist in Don Reid's band, has married the blonde former Ziegfeld showgirl Dian Manners and Dian has turned press agent ballyhooing her singing husband. * * * Sammy Kaye's girl singer, first the swing and sway maestro has ever had, is 17-year-old Nancy Norman of Hollywood. * # * A fair helping of luck coupled with CBS short wave facilities gave Privates Eddy McLeold and Bern Galvin a bit of news they had been waiting for ever since January. The two army men submitted a song to Song Hit Guild, an organization devoted exclusively to the promotion of song material by novice composers. In May, the song, "Strangers in the Dark" was accepted for publication. But attempts to find the writers were unsuccessful. The War Department was unable to reveal where these two men were stationed. But last month the song was premiered on Major Bowes' program and this broadcast was short waved to our armed forces stationed the world over. * * * Lionel Hampton, the vibraharpist star and bandleader, is setting a trend which may have a startling effect on dance band technique for broadcasting. Lionel believes that when you get going on a good tune and the band sounds right, there's no need to stop after the conventional threeminute period. The Hampton theme song, "Flying Home," often goes on for fifteen minutes, with each member of the band taking a solo, according to the mood of the moment. Artie Shaw once tried this idea out, devoting a whole 15-minute program to an interpretation of one song. * * * If you want to have a record of Radio Mirror's Song Hit of the Month, "The Devil Sat Down and Cried," you can get the Decca recording, No. 8600, of Erskine Butterfield and one by Harry James on Columbia No. 36466 — both swell arrangements of this new hit tune.
