The safari guide reluctantly took a group of American women into the
African jungle on a big-game hunt. So far, he was well pleased! they hadn't
killed any prize animals, but there hadn't been any trouble, either. Then he
heard a shot, and his joy faded as he heard one woman cry:
"Well, I finally hit something! Just listen to that language'."

A dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan ventured south
of the border to see a bullfight for the first time.
The fight reached the stage where the matador,
armed with only a cape, was taunting the bull to
charge. Again and again, he avoided the bull's
horns by inches, flipping the cape aside as the
bull roared past.
The baseball fan could stand it no longer. He
stood up and in his best grandstand baritone
shouted, "Bub, he ain't never going to run into that
sack unless you hold it still!"

"This gift is for you" is his gush!
And though I know I'll rue it,
I can't give a salesman the brush
Who always beats me to it!

"It doesn't look to me like he's come to apologize!"
Madam Chairman to Her Committee
Ladies! Please! You know we're here
To choose a plan for our club year.
The Chair extends her fond thank-you's
For all your helpful, splendid views.
Peg, your plan is quite complete.
" Mary, yours is so concrete.
In fact, the plans of everyone
Are excellent! Superbly done!
We know you can go ahead full steam,
And I must add, you're one grand team!
Thank you! Thank you all so much!
We'll now adjourn. It's time for lunch.
Yes, yes, what is it, Caroline?
You ask whose plan we'll use?
Why mine!

After a three-day week end like the Memorial
Day one, fathers are glad that there's no place
like home.

"I had a terrible time as a lad," complained the
man. "We had 200 cows to milk by hand, and
every day three of us boys had to divide the chore
between us."
"Say, that was a tough job for three kids," said
a sympathetic listener.
"Nearly drove us crazy, all right, until Pa fixed
it. He bought another hundred head."
"How did that fix anything?" the listener asked.
"Well, any darn fool can divide 300 by three!"

With 1959 nearing the half-way mark, the year
gives every promise of being the biggest and
best since the first bit of wax revolved on a
phonograph. Let's amble through some of the new
releases now available at your record shop.
tops in the record shops:
For those who like their music on the vocal
side, try some of the following: "Love Is a Gentle
Thing," by Harry Belafonte; Mary Martin's tone
poems on "Cinderella," and "Pat Suzuki's Broad
way '59," all on RCA; Capitol's very fine sound
track release of "Hey Boy! Hey Girl!" spotlighting
Louis Prima and Keely Smith; Verve's debut in
the pop field with "Mitzi" by Mitzi Gaynor; "Glow
with the Mills Brothers" and "Golden Songs of Tin
Pan Alley" featuring Kay Armen on Decca.
"I'll Remember April" is another Patti Page de
light from Mercury, while "Betty Hutton at the
Saints & Sinners Ball" and "Jackpot" by the
amazing Mary Kaye Trio are new Warner
Brothers' winners. Two Lawrence Welk packages,
one with Alice Lon, the other starring the Lennon
Sisters, on Coral; "Pat Boone Sings," via Dot;
"Bobby Darin: That's All," Atco; and, finally,
"Premiere Performance" by George Byron, At
lantic, all merit your attention.
instrumental musical moods:
"J Hear Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw" is a
Verve toe-tapper by Buddy DeFranco, while
"Compulsion to Swing" by Henri Rene, "The Keys
and I" featuring Eddie Heywood at the 88, and
"Jonah Jones at the Embers" are from RCA.
Warner Brothers offers "Ballads, Bounce, and
Bivona" by the swinging Gus Bivona and company.
"The Sound of Wayne King," reviving the fine
Wayne sax, and Carmen Cavallaro's "Dancing in
the Dark" are Decca gems.
jazzomania:
"The Jazz Story," a three-record package by
Steve Allen, will probably become a collector's
item, thanks to Coral. "Vaughn and Violins" by
Sarah Vaughn and "Max Roach with the Boston
Percussion Ensemble" are the Mercury entries
this month. "One Never Knows, Do One" is a Fats
Waller gem straight from the archives.
"Pearl Bailey Sings , Porgy and Bess" and
"Memories Ad Lib" by Count Basie and Joe
Williams are Roulette's latest, while "Ella Swings
Lightly," with Ella Fitzgerald never sounding
better, and "On the Town," featuring the Oscar
Peterson Trio, maintain Verve's high standards.
new sound new beat:
On a pop beat, the new sound does nip-ups with
"Cuttin' Capers" by Doris Day, "All Alone" with
Polly Bergen, "Broadway in Rhythm" by Ray
Conniff, and Miles Davis playing "Porgy and Bess,"
all on Columbia; also, Dean Martin's "Sleep
Warm," "Music for Dreaming" by Paul Weston,
and "Swingin' Pretty" with Keely Smith on Capitol.
stereo sound-off:
Verdi's "La Forza del Destino," the complete
opera starring Renata Tebaldi, Mario Del Monaco,
and soloists, chorus, and orchestra of L'accademia
di Santa Cecilia, Rome, is a must for all who enjoy
good music plus the new dimension in sound. Also
from London come Massenet's "Le Cid" and
Meyerbeer's "Les Patineurs" by the Israel Phil
harmonic; Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" by
the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra; and Brahm's
"Symphony No. 1" by the Vienna Philharmonic.
"The French Touch" by the Boston Symphony is
an RCA release.
special merit:
F or those who want to display the range of their
hi-fi or stereo sets, here are some fine albums for
that very purpose: "Fanfare," on Columbia;
"Musica de Baile," a Cuban disk on Tico; MGM's
"Flamenco Fury" with Jose Greco; "Porrina de
Badajoz" by Montoya on RCA; Mozart's "Sym
phony No. 41" played for Mercury by the London"
Symphony; and on stereo, "The Grenadier
Guards," London.
