That's all right, Peter. Thanks a lot anyway!

Thanks for the reply, Peter! Have a nice vacation!

Wow, a great find! Thanks a lot!

Any chance of uploading the better sounding "Ryan's on His Way to the Roundup"? I haven't checked in here for some time, so I missed it ...

If possible, then I'd be very grateful for that, too!

It seems that this sound recording is no longer made available.

Thank you very much for sharing, Peter!

Thanks a lot for posting this find! Mr. Newquist was a really good interviewer - Doris seems to just not being able to stop talking! Worth a listen!

Really sweet! Thanks for posting!

Doris' voice sounds so young!

And thank you, Howard, for sharing all these interesting pieces of information with us! Great!

With all due respect, a sentence such as this would be enough to scare anyone away from offering their help (which may explain the recent sudden silence on this forum) : Being the webmaster for the forum demands an incredible amount of work and technical skills. Surely, it can't be all that impossib...

Indeed, this is sad news. Thank you, Michael, for finding out. I had not been in contact with Bryan for a very long time, but he was always helpful and friendly. I am glad he decided to keep the forum going, even after the passing of Doris. Hopefully, it will keep going even now. Thinking about the ...

This must be Ingrid Bergman!

Hi Johnny, Thank you so much for your nice reply. Just mailed BBC archive to find out more about Doris Day's radio show. It is possible that the BBC Doris Day radio show already started in 1954. I found it mentioned on one of the fanclub magazines from the 70's Doris Day Society. So I hope it leads...

Many thanks, Peter!

Quite enjoyable! Of course, Doris sings well as always, but I also think that Buddy Clark was a very fine singer.

Thanks again!

Peter,

Many thanks for your updated list! It's a great piece of work!

I would love to hear this 'new' version of "Again", if that is possible!

Simon

The lyrics to this Calamity Jane-era recording by Doris came to mind ... and I was surprised to actually not being able to find them anywhere on the Internet! THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY (Ervin Drake; Irvin Graham; Jimmy Shirl) Recorded by Doris Day on July 17, 1953 The stormy clouds that hide the sun ...

Nice piece of work, Ania! Dziękuję!

Here's a chuckle -- another gem from Friedwald, this about Bing Crosby's recording of "Tell Me Why," which Doris sang in "On Moonlight Bay": Bing tried to "out-poignant" her rendition. A fascinating piece of information! I'm no expert of the recordings of Bing Crosby, so I had no idea that he had r...

Thanks Peter, for this very interesting listing of the UK radio broadcasts! Previously, I thought the original shows were broadcast in their entirety, but now it's clear that they also included newer recordings, so the UK series was decidedly different from the US series. Fascinating! Yeah, hopefull...

Hi Robert, Thanks for pointing out the David Hartman interview! I hadn't seen it before, but now I've watched all four parts. Very fascinating to hear their conversation, and I think Mr. Hartman asks questions, the answers of which are very interesting to hear, but not everyone would be comfortable ...

Just started watching on TCM the 1954 film noir Crime Wave which opened with a gas station being robbed while Doris Day is singing S' Wonderful. The gas station attendant is joyfully talking about Doris Day singing this song until the robbers hit him over the head. Another surprise in this film is ...

Thanks, Bryan, for the reply!

Well, like I said, I never saw "Fine and Dandy" performed in the film, but sometimes there are deleted scenes, that later show up on DVDs and such. But, of course, nothing can show up, if it was never recorded in the first place.

Is it known if "Fine and Dandy", a song featured on the Columbia album referring to this film, was also recorded for inclusion in the film? If so, is it known what happened to that performance, as I can't seem to find it when watching the film?

Aha, it's the very same contents, I hadn't realised. Thanks, Peter, for pointing that out!

JayWint, many thanks for your thoughts on this! It makes sense of course, that a different mixing (be it mono, stereo, or some other way) would make for a different listening experience. Although I guess for me, Doris' voice has always been in my center of attention anyway. :D But I do see your poin...

Johnny, thank you for your comments! Yes, it is truly enjoyable whenever a Doris Day recording comes your way, especially one that you haven't heard before. And, fortunately, even those recordings that are well known can be enjoyed again and again, and we can always find something new and interestin...
