Eric Jackson: Was it a musical household? McIntosh: Fortunately, I had a mother and a father that were musically inclined. My father, he yearned to be the lead singer in the Mills Brothers. I didn’t appreciate that until later on in years when I discovered that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra all said that it was the leader of the Mills Brothers that made them want to sing.

But, he made it attractive For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] because he could move his belly in sync with the rhythm of “the lazy river…” (Scats the song) And his belly is moving in rhythm with it!

  • Broadway 1 a (1893-1927) BROADWAY and the AMERICAN DREAM
    EPISODE ONE Give My Regards to Broadway 1 A (1893-1927) BROADWAY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM In the 1890s, immigrants from all over the world came to the great ports of America like New York City to seek their fortune and freedom.
