Quite by chance, another blast from the past came to light yesterday.  I happened to hear Shostakovich's 1st Jazz Suite on the radio, and realised that the last movement Hawaiian guitar thing was the music used for the Heliotropes in an episode of Magic Roundabout.

Now what recess of my mind did that come from?

Last night we stayed up late chatting and snacking, and we had on TV the film Humoresque (1946). I didn't watch/follow the film closely, Joan Crawford was never a favourite actress of mine. I thought Oscar Levant was brilliant on piano, and I was intrigued by the violin playing of ex-boxer John Garfield and just had to do a quick enquiry via IMDB.

Sure enough IMDB says 'John Garfield's violin "performances" are actually played by two professional violinists standing on either side of him, one to bow and one to finger. The actual music was performed by Isaac Stern.'

Watching the film I just couldn't work out how it was done, where were the two players, one bowing and one fingering? Really?

I started watching that one a week or two ago. It was fine until he started getting involved with the high society bird. Perhaps someday I will even finish watching it...?

No, I'm not a complete idiot. I'm only a halfwit. In fact I'm actually a catfish.
