There’s No Playlist Like That Certain Playlist: Coffeetime Homebrew ep 157

Screenshot from a Video Varieties short film from 1949 showing the four Striders singing in front of a backdrop curtain pinned with signs of pancakes and other things found at a diner/soda shop. Two of The Striders have put on caps and round glasses as if to imitate hipsters of the time as they scat and take the tune uptempo for some bop singing.
The Striders enjoying that hipster fun!

In a Playlist by the Sea: Coffeetime Homebrew ep 156

Screenshot from the movie Lullaby of Broadway showing Gene Nelson singing (though his voice was actually dubbed for the movie), standing alongside a blue upright piano and the Page Cavanaugh Trio (piano, guitar, bass). They are all wearing dark suits with bow ties. Nelson has his arms outstretched as he is about to dance as well as sing.
Gene’s got his eye on that piano top!
