  • is this the original version of this great tune? love it!

  • Along with Curtis Calderon, my favorite Freshman trumpeter. I'm so glad that there are some videos of him to see and hear. Neat ethereal trumpet style!

  • Hal Kratzsch was my mother's stepbrother. He was adopted out because his biological mother couldn't support all the kids in those depression days. My mother passed away on Monday this week. Although she saw him and the group in Chicago in the 50's she would have treasured this video and others. I sorry I found this too late to show her. His sister Betty is the only one of that generation left. Lesson learned-continue to explore the new technology.

  • ..wait for a moment... and miracle of miracles..your very own Soundie. A Soundie like the one your dad, or your grampa or even your great grampa watched and listened to. Maybe The Freshmen or Peggy Lee or... well anyway...yes Virginia there were Soundies. For real...no lie.

  • Before MTV and VH1 and once upon a time a very long long time ago there was ..."Soundies"...Soundies? Yep, Soundies. You'd find them at the tavern or the saloon or the lounge and you could approach a Soundie, a box about the size of a jukebox bearing a small movie screen and a coin slot into which you could drop a nickle... (con't)

  • would shure like to hear "now you know"&it's a blue world"like back at facs in S F 1950

  • Loved this. Very rythmic, low-key, and subtle; from a time when a good musical performance was not synonymous with blasting the roof off.

  • Thanks Harryhousing....Wish we could turn the clock back and catch the guys live again. Got anymore of these oldies to post on YouTube ???

  • Don Barbour's voice blended beautifully into that magic FF harmony just as the others, but when he sang solo, man he brought another sense cool to the set.

  • This is a treasure. What a treat.
