February of 1949 gets underway with our regular cast of characters: Bob on guitar, Ray Sherman at the piano, Jud De Naut on bass, and Ralph Collier on drums and percussion. "Sweet Georgia Brown" gets the Frank Barton voice over, and leads us into "Cumana". Bob summons a genie from a lamp (at what a cost!), and Margo Powers appears to sing "But Not For Me". The quartet then performs the Ellington classic "Just Squeeze Me", right in Bob's pocket. Margo comes back, but this time for a duet with Bob: a fun novelty number called "You Was". This is yet another example of Bob cherry-picking a contemporaneous hit to do on his show: in this case, the number had just been performed for Capitol Records by Dean Martin and Peggy Lee. So great to hear Bob smoothly croon like the best of 'em! The quartet closes out the show with the Cole Porter classic "What Is This Thing Called Love" before strolling out on "Lady Be Good". Who was so lucky to hear this? We was!
