Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here is Louis Armstrong singing Dixie Music Man (1947, 3:29). The last four seconds of this video are interesting too, in a meta-musical sense.
Shortly before his death, Satchmo said, “I think I had a beautiful life. I didn’t wish for anything that I couldn’t get and I got pretty near everything I wanted because I worked for it”. We’ll be visiting Mr. Armstrong’s great works again here at SDA LNR, as we have before; he is surely an artist to be celebrated.

Jenny was sweet,
She always smiled for the people she meet.
On trouble and strife:
She had another way of looking at life.The news is blue (the news is blue),
Has its own way of getting to you.
What can I do (what can I do),
When I remember my time with you?Pick up your feet,
Got to move to the trick of the beat.
There is no elite,
Just take your place in the driver’s seat.

Thanks to Vitruvius for doing such an admirable job with Reader Tips while I was away. If you’d like him to continue, cast a vote in the comments. It doesn’t mean I won’t throw in my own linkfests, but the late nite radio schtick seems to be popular enough to merit its own category. Let me know what you think.
And my thanks, as always, to the rest of the guest blogging contingent. SDA is a 7 day a week endeavor, so the breaks I get serve as innoculation against burnout. The guest bloggers make it possible. The only alternative is shutting down the place while I’m gone and while that wouldn’t be the end of the world, it’s not my preferred option.
Your tips thread is open.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Reader Tips and SDA Late Nite Radio. One of the problems with a tour de force performance like last night’s SDA Late Nite Radio Classics is: what does one do for an encore? I mean, one’s just used up one’s best material (by definition); what now? Yet it remains the case that there was a notable intensity to all of yesterday’s selections, thus an alternative for tonight is a notably mellow selection. So here, for your delectation, are Mugsy Spanier & His Ragtime Band performing Relaxin’ At The Touro in 1939.
Also, after last night’s show, listener Eeyore wrote in to request due coverage for bagpipes. They’re always on the list, Eeyore. For now you may wish to check out some of the bagpipe links previously available at Small Dead Animals.
More importantly than all that, note that Mr. Andrew Coyne plans to be live-blogging the BCHRT inquisition against Maclean’s magazine and Mr. Mark Steyn starting at about 09:30 PDT today.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Reader Tips and SDA Late Nite Radio Classics. And when I say classics, I mean that this new gig provides me the opportunity to highlight a dozen of our most favourite music videos here in the SDA LNR studios, as selected from previous SDA LNR shows, as a full entry in it’s own right here at SDA, and for bonus points this exercise gives me an excuse to experiment with SDA’s extended entry facility.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Reader Tips and SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, I have made newly available a rare performance from our SDA LNR studio collection of vintage 45 RPM singles. Here are Australia’s own Johnny Chester & the Chessmen performing The Old Copper Kettle, ca. 1960, this pressing by Canadian KiM records, K.M.1688, CT-30765, originally from W&G Recording in Australia. I would argue that one needs to listen to the end of this work ~ it’s only two minutes ~ to fully appreciate it, but I don’t want to say any more ’cause that would spoil it.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Kate has asked me to look after the daily Reader Tips entries while she is away, by combining them with the SDA LNR shows. So without further ado, here for your delectation is Zubin Mehta conducting the massed Israel Philharmonic and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, in Tel Aviv in 1990, performing the allegro finale from Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, op. 67 by Ludwig van Beethoven:

SDA LNR Update: Harvey Korman has passed away. Cal2, in the comments, has already noted this three part Archive of American Television interview with Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. On a lighter note, you might also enjoy this Friendly Business Lunch sketch, starring Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, and Steve Lawrence, from, of course, the inimitable Carol Burnett show.
I’ll be on the road over the next few days, though I should be able to check in from time to time. Guest bloggers are welcome to stop by, as usual, but if the weather is nice where you are, turn off the computer and get out of the house for a while!
Open for your tips.
Sorry Vit, you’ve probably gone to bed…
