Speaker 4: that Toddeo process. That was absolutely fantastic. And guys and
Speaker 4: dolls came out, the Cane Mutiny, as we mentioned, Brigadooon,
Speaker 4: the tender Trap, the Blackboard Jungle and Fast Parker me
Speaker 4: o mate Fess who has been gone for fifteen years now.
Speaker 4: He died fifteen years ago. He was a terrific bloke
Speaker 4: and he played Davy Crockett in the TV show Disneyland
Speaker 4: for Walt Disney. Because when it came out we didn't
Speaker 4: have television in Australia. It was nineteen fifty five, no TV.
Speaker 4: So they chopped it together with the pair of scissors
Speaker 4: and they made a film out of the episodes that
Speaker 4: were actually on Disneyland.
Speaker 3: So we go and see it at the So we
Speaker 3: go to the.
Speaker 4: Esquire in Burke Street to see Fess Parker. I didn't
Speaker 4: fancy the old coonskin cap to be quite nice. That
Speaker 4: smelly old thing on your head didn't appeal to me.
Speaker 4: What about you, Andrew? Do you have one?
Speaker 3: But I said I was way too young.
Speaker 2: But it was interesting to watch you old guys wandering
Speaker 2: around with them on the street. But I tell you
Speaker 2: what they did with them with the episodes of TV series.
Speaker 2: That wasn't the only thing the only time they did
Speaker 2: it with Davy Crockett, because they did it with the
Speaker 2: Man from Uncle.
Speaker 3: I went on to see The Man from Uncle the movie.
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, this is great.
Speaker 2: It was two episodes of the TV series that I
Speaker 2: had already seen linted together.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd be good money to sit up there in
Speaker 3: the Belcone.
Speaker 10: Oh.
Speaker 3: I was outraged.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have demanded your buddy back, stomped out
Speaker 4: of the box office, but they'd closed up.
Speaker 3: For the night.
Speaker 4: Yeah. But anyhow, Davy Crockett was the song that accompanied this,
Speaker 4: and it was sung by Fess Parker, So I spoke
Speaker 4: to him about this.
Speaker 11: Raised in the woods, sows in you every tree killed
Speaker 11: him the bar when he was only three, Davy day
Speaker 11: King of the Wild Front Tier.
Speaker 4: And the song itself, The Ballad of Davy Crockett, became
Speaker 4: a big hit. I don't know if people realized, but
Speaker 4: right at the beginning there we did play you singing
Speaker 4: the song, which is actually a version you did.
Speaker 7: Well I have to tell you something, Kevin. I was
Speaker 7: the first person to record it. I was signed in
Speaker 7: August of nineteen thirty four, and I had sign a
Speaker 7: little song that I'd written for Walker Disney with my
Speaker 7: little guitar. I wasn't much of a singer, but I
Speaker 7: convinced him that I could sing well enough, and they
Speaker 7: two weeks later they called me in and I recorded
Speaker 7: The Battle of Davy Crockett. Up for thirty years, Walt
Speaker 7: Disney and his brother Roy had resisted having a record
Speaker 7: company or having anything to do with the record royalties,
Speaker 7: but with the ballot of Davy Crockett that changed, and
Speaker 7: so he kept my first recording, and the Cadence Records
Speaker 7: were able to bring out Bill Hayes first, while Walt
Speaker 7: organized his record company. I finally got out and I
Speaker 7: did very well. But there were sixteen major artists in
Speaker 7: America in about six weeks that recorded that song.
Speaker 4: Oh wanted to get into the act that tennesse Andy
Speaker 4: Ford was one of them too, and.
Speaker 7: Oh he was.
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, that's who I was thinking of. Tennessee.
Speaker 9: Onnie Ford did a version two didn't he did, and
Speaker 9: he had the beautiful, deep rounded voice.
Speaker 4: To me, yep, yep singing it. You couldn't It was
Speaker 4: very catchy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good song. It was a good of
Speaker 3: the spoof version of the Joki version.
Speaker 4: I was going to mention it, but if you want
Speaker 4: to mention it, that's.
Speaker 2: All on the tabletop of Yeah dirty stump in the USA.
Speaker 2: I hope you wouldn't go that shot his mother when
Speaker 2: he was only three.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know that one. Oh well it
Speaker 3: was you know, everybody knew.
Speaker 4: It was never released as a record, but everybody knew
Speaker 4: those lyrics, Yes, more than.
Speaker 3: More than the real lyrics.
Speaker 4: That was the only version was Yes, very popular, So
Speaker 4: I could have sold a million that that's right, all right.
Speaker 3: Now, Kevin tell us about Dogface Soldier.
Speaker 4: Well, there was a film that came out in CinemaScope
Speaker 4: in nineteen fifty five called to Hallenbach, which was based
Speaker 4: on the biography of Audie Murphy. Because he was one
Speaker 4: of the most decorated servicemen in the Second World War.
Speaker 4: He was absolutely incredible. He was highly decorated, and he
Speaker 4: also had a film career. He was well, he didn't
Speaker 4: set the film untill he came back after the warning,
Speaker 4: but he mainly specialized in westerns. I loved Audie Murphy.
Speaker 3: I it was terrific.
Speaker 4: I saw all these pictures and I saw this at
Speaker 4: the State Picture Theater which is now the Forum in
Speaker 4: nineteen fifty five, and it was on the big screen
Speaker 4: and they had a great cast of actors, and there
Speaker 4: was this song that still sticks in my mot Andrew
Speaker 4: might have some good lyrics to this, but this is
Speaker 4: talent back the theme song.
Speaker 12: Like I Am.
Speaker 10: From the Davies Thunderies.
Speaker 8: It said the.
Speaker 13: Down over.
Speaker 4: Dote soldier were the right soldier, and come give me.
Speaker 10: Your dog bas soldier by dog.
Speaker 8: On all the.
Speaker 10: Pols I read, it says the bills I go there
Speaker 10: with me down to build me over again.
Speaker 4: I'm just a dog based soldier.
Speaker 10: I have a right both on this soldier and I'm
Speaker 10: ready for or whatever. I won't take my horn any
Speaker 10: take a dot ho. I'm a dog based soldier.
Speaker 3: What does dog face soldier actually mean? I'm a dog
Speaker 3: face side.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I walked out of that Picture
Speaker 4: theater after seeing that film, and I've thought I've found
Speaker 4: my career. I want to be a dog face soldier soldier.
Speaker 4: A good day you would to please it's.
Speaker 3: It sounds like it's on mos like a put down.
Speaker 3: You're the lowest level of song.
Speaker 4: Maybe he'd be an infantry man, wouldn't he.
Speaker 3: That would be literally Yeah, I'd leave Andrew is the
Speaker 3: word smith. I'd let him pronounce that he's the teacher. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now moving on now, because we must. We got shows
Speaker 2: of nineteen fifty five Kevin.
Speaker 4: Well The Bob Hope Show. Bob Hope was brought over
Speaker 4: by Lee Gordon, and financially the show was a disaster,
Speaker 4: had lost a heap of money, and Bob was aware
Speaker 4: of that, and when he got back to America, he
Speaker 4: sent Lee Gordon some money apparently to get him out
Speaker 4: of the financial difficulty he was in.
Speaker 3: That was really nice of him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know why it didn't work, because Bob
Speaker 4: Hope was a big, big star, wasn't he.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think Lee Gordon had trouble again with he brought
Speaker 2: out Costello too. I don't think that was particularly successful.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't have finished up down at the Palais,
Speaker 4: and no, it wasn't particularly successful. So there are a
Speaker 4: couple of momen but he made a lot of money
Speaker 4: out of Sinatra and people like that. When he did
Speaker 4: concerts and Johnny Ray. He made a lot of money,
Speaker 4: Johnny Ray, the Prince of Wales. He was terrific. I
Speaker 4: never know you interviewed him, didn't you.
Speaker 3: I did, yes, once upon a time.
Speaker 2: And I did happen to see him at the Fellow
Speaker 2: Theater with Mom and Dad many years ago.
Speaker 4: Did you.
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Phil was there and Phil records. The sound broke down
Speaker 4: and he wasn't too happy with the sound man.
Speaker 3: Must have been a different shows while I saw.
Speaker 4: Probably probably that he did a number of shows down there. Anyhow.
Speaker 4: Ronnie Rosenberg, my mate was has passed on. But Ronnie
Speaker 4: was a pianist. He was musical director on him Moment's
Speaker 4: Night and we did shows together with Teddy Hamilton. We
Speaker 4: to it all over the place with Ronnie, and Ronnie
Speaker 4: never had any music in front of me. He just
Speaker 4: said at the piano. I didn't think you know every
Speaker 4: song that you could think of. He was fantastic. Anyhow,
Speaker 4: he did work for Bob Hope. Gee, you must have
Speaker 4: met some real big stars in your time. Ronnie Rosenberg, Oh,
Speaker 4: now tell me any stories about Bob Hope.
Speaker 13: Look, I didn't get very close.
Speaker 3: I wanted to.
Speaker 13: I want he was on the town all but I
Speaker 13: wanted to because I loved him, you know, yes, I
Speaker 13: do remember one night I had to play something for
Speaker 13: him and I had to give him the peggio to
Speaker 13: get in and he said thank you Liberaci, which destroyed
Speaker 13: me a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, life goes.
Speaker 4: On, Roddie. You are wealthy stories and it's lovely talking
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 3: That's a funny story, that's cute.
Speaker 4: Ronnie was fantastic. Have no idea all the fun we
Speaker 4: had on those shows.
Speaker 3: It was terrific. And Frank Sinatra, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Frank Sinatra. Frank Sinatra came in nineteen fifty five with
Speaker 4: his daughter Nancy and it was the first visit to
Speaker 4: Australia for Sinatra and he loved him being here and
Speaker 4: he came back on a number of times and he
Speaker 4: was someone that you know, was what would you call him?
Speaker 4: He was a superstar really in those days. And they
Speaker 4: were doing something like three shows at night at the
Speaker 4: West Melbourne Stadium, but unfortunately the West Melbourne Stadium burned down,
Speaker 4: so they moved Frank Sinatra. Do you know, I reckon
Speaker 4: I should have a pluk up outside the Melbourne Town
Speaker 4: Hall because Sinatra did concerts at the Melbourne Town Hall,
Speaker 4: and I never knew yes, because they had no venue
Speaker 4: and so and Sinatra was quite happy to play a
Speaker 4: town he is, I'll play anywhere. I was singing the streets.
Speaker 4: People bought tickets. They want to come and see me.
Speaker 4: Let's go wherever you want to go. So they went
Speaker 4: to the Melbourne Town Hall and it was. It was
Speaker 4: very good of him.
Speaker 9: I would have thought he would be very setting his
Speaker 9: ways about both understand.
Speaker 4: We had a pile of ashes out in West Melbourne
Speaker 4: with the place that they're supposed to be in. And
Speaker 4: I remember going pasting the train to school and looking
Speaker 4: down and seeing that all burnt out because it was, Yes,
Speaker 4: it was, And I saw Sinatra actually before built burnt down.
Speaker 4: I must have been very young. All I can remember
Speaker 4: is him singing one from My Baby in One for
Speaker 4: the Road in the boxing ring in the middle of
Speaker 4: the West Melbourne stadium where they used to run all
Speaker 4: the fights, and is.
Speaker 2: That where they had a sort of an upstairs section
Speaker 2: and that was behind chicken wire.
Speaker 4: It was all that sort of stuff. Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: pretty primitive, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My father used to take me to the boxing and
Speaker 4: we used to hold up the newspapers to keep the
Speaker 4: Blood Office from the front fright.
Speaker 3: It was terrific. What a life?
Speaker 4: Anyhow?
Speaker 3: What a life? Say?
Speaker 4: Sinatra had a song He's going to sing it now,
Speaker 4: Nancy with a laughing Face, which was written by Phil Silvers,
Speaker 4: of all people, and it became a big hit for
Speaker 4: Frank Sinadra.
Speaker 14: Around nineteen forty.
Speaker 15: Ladies and gentlemen, they was a song written about a
Speaker 15: little girl who was then two years old, I should
Speaker 15: say forty once.
Speaker 4: I'm two years old.
Speaker 15: And she's grown a good deal since then. I'm glad
Speaker 15: of that. And the song was written about because she
Speaker 15: had all of the qualities that the words describing the song,
Speaker 15: and she still has them. And I'd like to do
Speaker 15: this tune for you now. It's about my oldest daughter.
Speaker 15: It's called Nancy with a laughing Face.
Speaker 14: If I don't see her each day, I miss her.
Speaker 4: Gee, what a thrill each.
Speaker 14: Time I kiss her. Believe me, I've got a case
Speaker 14: on Nancy with a laughing face. She takes the winter
Speaker 14: and she makes it.
Speaker 2: Some lovely to hear Sinatra in Melbourne way back when,
Speaker 2: in the mid nineteen fifty five and Nancy with a
Speaker 2: laughing face. We are in the midst of the Time
Speaker 2: Tunnel with Kevin, and we're back with more of nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty five right after these.
Speaker 9: It's Mystery Voice time in Trask's Time Tunnel. If you're
Speaker 9: wondering why are we doing trash Time Tunnel in this hour,
Speaker 9: it's because we didn't get to start till ten thirty
Speaker 9: this evening, so it's an hour delay for Trask's Time Tunnel.
Speaker 9: But here we are and it's Mystery Voice time. He
Speaker 9: wants you to take part by texting us your answer.
Speaker 9: Kevin's going to play a mystery voice. We're going to
Speaker 9: try and guess. If you think you know, text your
Speaker 9: answer to zero four double seven six nine three six
Speaker 9: nine three and will name the first person who correctly
Speaker 9: gets the answer right. Kevin, do we have a clue?
Speaker 4: Well, I think this is particularly easy, and I think
Speaker 4: I would ask you both to hold back and give
Speaker 4: the listeners a chance to have a little think about
Speaker 4: this before you dive in, because I think you will
Speaker 4: know this immediately. But then, on the other hand, I've
Speaker 4: thought that before, yes, and it has been some of
Speaker 4: our toughest ones. Toughest ones, so it's very interesting. So look,
Speaker 4: it's a male and here's tonight's mystery voice. I'm too weak, said.
Speaker 13: It a.
Speaker 8: Miles.
Speaker 4: Play the game, but to dream more, this song came
Speaker 4: this song came out in nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 2: I might point it, Yeah, the Platters, but this is
Speaker 2: obviously not the Platt's Platters.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 9: Well, I immediately wrote down two names, and then I
Speaker 9: realized we're talking nineteen fifty five, and neither of them
Speaker 9: would have been born. So I'll cross Grant, Dya and
Speaker 9: Rove McManus off the list. McManus, well, it just sounded
Speaker 9: like a young little person, so I thought.
Speaker 4: Grant both per person agree the person doesn't have to
Speaker 4: be alive this in this case, but singing a song
Speaker 4: from nineteen fifty five, as.
Speaker 2: Long as you're a certain heights, you can be a
Speaker 2: part of Remember when why's your texting?
Speaker 3: Your answer?
Speaker 2: Because apparently short people are not welcome according to Simon, No,
Speaker 2: I just thought that sounded.
Speaker 3: Like a young, sort little person.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh I didn't pick that up.
Speaker 3: It's not granting you. No, it's not Grant, and it's
Speaker 3: not who Rove McManus. No way, someone who was alive
Speaker 3: in fifty five and and I think he's.
Speaker 4: Alive in fifty five.

Speaker 4: I'm not sure what year is more.
Speaker 3: Is he an Australian?
Speaker 7: No?

Speaker 12: was a fine singer, and she invicted. It was the
Speaker 12: time that he'd attacked journalists and reporters and no sort
Speaker 12: of people at the entrance to the stadium because he
Speaker 12: was a little bit cross. I think the publicity that
Speaker 12: he proceived.

Speaker 12: This gentleman who was quite a popular radio interviewer, not
Speaker 12: with Sinatra O command you you had to call him
Speaker 12: that too, mister Sinnata all the time. And he started

Speaker 12: it's nice to interview a man who came out with
Speaker 12: Anne McCormick to star on the big show. Frank Sinatra, Well,
Speaker 12: of course that quite annoyed Frank, And you, having interviewed
Speaker 12: thousands of people, would know how difficult it is when
Speaker 12: you get a yes and no answer, And that's what
Speaker 12: he gave this fella. You know it nice to be yes. Well, normally,
Speaker 12: when you're chatting with the person, you're thinking of the
Speaker 12: next question, aren't you, And if you're just getting yeses
Speaker 12: and nos, you get a nothing interview.

Speaker 12: ever seen in my life standing around. I don't know
Speaker 12: where they carried his bags for his toothbrush, but they
Speaker 12: were pretty big. And he let go and gave me
