They simply had a real cultural background , where life, work, family, pleasure, pain and entertaining weren’t divided. Music is getting poorer as the links between people are just maintained by money and show business.

This is from the movie "Reveille with Beverly" (1943) A wildly, wonderfully entertaining movie from WWII. Ann Miller becomes a morning disc jockey for soldiers. "Reveille with Beverly" also has Bob Crosby and his Bobcats performing "Big Noise from Winnetka", Duke Ellington Orchestra performing "Take the A Train" on a moving train, Count Basie Orchestra doing "One O'clock Jump", Freddie Slack (with the GREAT Ella Mae Morse) performing "Cow Cow Boogie:, and even Frank Sinatra (in white tie and tails!). ""Reveille with Beverly" - you must see this movie!!

They were originally called "Four Boys and a Guitar" because they were originally a child act. Their father, John Hutchinson Mills (right) ran a barber shop in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. His four sons began singing in the choir of the Cyrene African Methodist Episcopal Church and in the Park Avenue Baptist Church in Piqua. After lessons at the Spring Street Grammar School, they gathered in front of their father's barbershop or on the corner to perform. They entered an amateur contest at May's Opera House but while on stage Harry realized he had lost his kazoo. He improvised by cupping his hand over his mouth and mimicking the sound of trumpet. The brothers liked the idea and worked it into their act. John, the bass vocalist, would imitate the tuba. Harry, a baritone, imitated the trumpet, Herbert became the second trumpet, and Donald the trombone. John accompanied the four-part harmony on ukulele and then guitar.

This song always reminds me of a girl I once knew named Lucy Brown. She was pretty sweet. Except she had a hook for a hand. If you made her mad, she'd bury that hook in your thigh and shout "ding dong!". Oh, and she also had a problem with canaries. Not so much a phobia as a desire to wipe out the species. Come to think of it, she wasn't that sweet. Never mind.
