    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book.

    BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXIX BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1993 HENRY MANCINI INTERVIEW THE BACKGROUND The promotion people put us in touch with Henry Mancini as part of the advertising campaign for a concert tour he was making at the time. 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.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • A Portrait of Tommy Dorsey
    A PORTRAIT OF TOMMY DORSEY Prepared by Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archive Updated April 21, 2015 1 THE TALENTED AND TEMPERAMENTAL TD Although he celebrated his birthday as November 19, 1905, according to Schuylkill County records, Thomas Francis “Tommy” Dorsey, Jr. was born November 27, 1905 in Mahanoy Plane, a small town outside Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, the second son of Thomas Francis “Pop” Dorsey (born 1872) and Theresa “Tess” Langton (married 1901), Americans of Irish ancestry. Their firstborn son was James Francis “Jimmy” Dorsey, born February 29, 1904. The Dorsey couple bore two additional offspring, Mary, born 1907 and Edward, born 1911. Edward only lived to the age of three. Shenandoah was located in the heart of Pennsylvania coal country. Coal miner Pop Dorsey was once quoted as saying; “I would do anything to keep my sons out of the mines”. The Dorsey parents were interested in music and musically inclined. They saw music as a path for their sons to escape what they considered the “dead-end” future of coal mining. Pop and Tess Dorsey instilled a love of music in their sons. The father favored the cornet as an instrument and his sons fought over who would play it better. Ultimately, Jimmy Dorsey would gravitate to reed instruments and Tommy Dorsey to brass instruments. As children, the sons played in local parades and concerts. As they grew into adolescence, the brothers took nonmusical jobs to supplement the Dorsey family income. Young Tommy worked as a delivery boy. In 1920, the family moved to Lansford, Pennsylvania, where Pop Dorsey became leader of the municipal band and a music teacher.

He played on the Steamer Capitol with Fats Pichon‟s Band.” Olivia played violin, cornet and piano. Dolly‟s uncle, Manuel Manetta, played and taught just about every instrument known to man.
