100th Birthday Salute Ray Anthony Part 1

January 20th, 1922 is the birthday of bandleader Ray Anthony. He just celebrated his 100th about ten days ago so to honor Ray on his 100th birthday I produces this two part program celebrating his career. Another little known fact is that Ray is the last surviving member of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra.I have a few selected songs by the Anthony Orchestra in the first half of today's show and then in the second half I have a radio remote from the Hollywood Palladium from the early 1950's featuring Ray and his band. I hope you enjoy the music on today's program as we pay a 100th birthday salute to Ray Anthony.

Big Band Bash is a show presenting the music, musicians, and era of the great Big Bands. Each show highlights a different aspect of the big bands, whether it be a show about a certain band or bandleader or a subject of the big bands anywhere from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. I hope to get your feet tapping with this great music.
