THROWBACK THURSDAY: See You in My Dreams (Part 2)

Back in December 2014, just a few weeks after I started the Throwback Thursday feature on this blog, I did a look at one of my favorite old songs from the 1920s, "I'll See You in My Dreams."

Written by Isham Jones and lyricist Gus Kahn and published in 1924, and first recorded by the Ray Miller Orchestra (vocals by Frank Besinger) in 1925, "I'll See You in My Dreams" became an instant American classic.

Khan's lyrics seem almost like a mystical incantation, an opening of the door into the world of dreams:

I'll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms

Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams

You can find Ray Miller's version of "Dreams" and several others in that original post.

But there have been so many wonderful covers of the song in the past 90 years or so, I believe my original post deserves a sequel.

Let's start with Ella Fitzgerald, who recorded "Dreams" in the mid 1940s. That's Louis Armstrong on trumpet.



Thrill to the charms of the ever-sultry Julie London, who sang it on her 1968 album, Easy Does It.



Fast forward to the 1990s and you'll find The Asylum Street Spankers singing it on their first album.



British rocker Joe Brown sang it as the closing number of a tribute concert for George Harrison at the Royal Albert Hall in 2002. [Update 5-29-22: That clip apparently was taken down off Youtube. This video is from a different show.]



Brown's cover inspired this moving version by a young British ukulele enthusiast named Sophie Madeleine



That's it for now. See you in my dreams ...

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Meet The Indians

There's a weird tradition in country music of novelty songs about Native Americans. It goes back at least as far Bob Wills' "Cherokee Maiden" (written by Cindy Walker) in 1941. The tunes are full of racial stereotypes and basically devoid of actual Indian culture.

Except perhaps for "Cherokee Maiden" and Hank Williams' "Kaw Liga" (which was about a wooden cigar-store Indian), you don't hear many of these tunes today. While they weren't written or performed in a hateful way, most of them were pretty clueless.

But there was one band that enthusiastically embraced these old songs -- an Irish "show band" -- cover bands that played Ireland's ballroom circuit -- called The Indians.

For most of the '60s the Dublin-based band was a journeyman group known as The Casino. But in 1970s, on the verge of breaking up. A prospective manager suggested The Casino needed a fresh gimmick. He recommended the group start wearing war paint and dressing up in headdresses and buckskins -- a proto-Village People style, basically.

So they did all that and and started playing all those Native-themed novelty tunes (though these actually are just a small part of their repertoire.)

The Indians are still around today, though most the original members are long gone. And apparently they still love those dumb-ass novelty songs.

Let's start wit "Kaw Liga." I don't think Hank done it this a way



One of the greatest pseudo-native songs in history "Running Bear."



Here's The Indians' interpretation of Hank Thompson's "Squaws Along the Yukon"



Here's The Indians' synth-marred version of the surf guitar classic "Apache."



This song didn't start out as an "Indian" song.



Finally, here's The Indians' version of Rex Allen's incest cautionary tale, "Son Don't Go Near The Indians."
