As noted in our conversation, when she could no longer dance she chose singing. Her mother was her constant companion, and as is often the case, seemed to fulfill her own aspirations through her daughter. In her frank autobiography of some years ago, Doris Day's real life was not quite as idyllic as some of her movie roles or her image as a vocalist. She experi­ enced a couple of marriages involving both physical and mental abuse, then married a man who attained absolute control of her income, proceeding to lose most of it. A young Doris Day.

He talked on a “live” local radio program with Don Kennedy. Mancini and Kennedy grew up within twelve miles of each other in the steel-making area of Western Pennsylvania, just thirty miles from Pittsburgh, although separated in time by half a generation. Mancini was a contemporary of Kennedy’s older musician brothers, so there were some common memories tied with the stories of his early years playing in steel-town beer joints. THE SCENE Unlike some celebrities of Henry Mancini’s stature, the Mancini at work. interview wasn’t difficult to arrange. He is so approach­ able and unaffected by his success, however, that he has BBJ: What kind of musical experience did you have a tendency to be off-hand with his answers, resulting in there? an interview with shorter answers and in some instances less depth than most musical celebrities. Mancini’s HM: Every kind! (Laughs) I started playing flute when answer to a couple of questions was something such as I was a kid, when my Dad gave one to me. He was a flute “Oh, sure.” Some of those one and two word answers player, too. That was at the age of eight, and then I were edited out in places where Kennedy’s persistence started playing piano about eleven and then took up eventually resulted in a longer, more meaningful answer, arranging on my own at about fourteen.

They boasted an exuberant, close-harmony style well-suited to cheery novelty songs, and their intricate vocal arrangements and rhythmic ability mirrored the sound of the swing bands that constituted their chief competition in their heyday. For the most part, The Andrews Sisters did not focus on romantic material, but rather sang upbeat songs, often borrowed from other cultures. Although they were well-established by the time the U.S. entered World War II, their optimistic tone made them perfect boosters of the war effort. In later years they remained closely identified with the war years, remembered as wearing military uniforms and singing their signature song: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. The three sisters were born in Minnesota to a Greek immigrant father, Peter Andreos (changed to Andrews upon arriving in the US) and Olga Sollie, a Norwegian-American mother.
