Music: Hawaiian Hula Song with Steel Guitar


Hawaiian Hula Song, a classic. A seductive beauty does the hula while a duo play on guitar and slide. During the last third of the song, the rhythm picks up, becoming swingy.

Where Hawaiian traditional and American Jazz meet, practically western swing.

Esso Extra


"Everyone likes that little something extra …

A dozen rolls and the baker tosses in an extra one to make it a baker’s dozen.

The butcher throws in an extra bone for the bow wow.

Every locality has a different name for it.

Way down in east in New England they call it 'something to boot.'

In the Deep South they call it 'lanya'
At your neighborhood service station they call it Esso."

AKA Exxon.

And the little “something extra” today, in 2007?

The exorbitant price of gasoline, while the oil cartels make record profits.

Music: Big Joe Turner - Shake, Rattle & Roll


Master 'shout blues' artist Big Joe Turner marks another high point of his career here with "Shake, Rattle & Roll."

Although Bill Haley's later sanitized version became a top rock-n-roller hit, it's said many folks sought out Turner's version instead.

A pivotal figure in popularizing blues, jazz, classic R&B, and rock and roll, Turner's career lasted from the 1920's busking on the streets of Kansas City through the 1980's at the most lauded jazz festivals in America and Europe.

Vaudeville / Music: A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor


Stage, radio and film star Eddie Cantor puts on a classic vaudeville routine, including a few jokes sandwiched between breaking into song.

One of the biggest entertainers of the early 20th century, the type self-deprecating humor he helped define can still has influence today with comedians such as Letterman, Conan and Jon Stewart.

Musical numbers include the daffy "Oh, Gee, Georgie" and the irreverent "The Dumber They Come, The Better I Like 'Em," arguably a classic even by today's standards.
