    There are days when I cannot get "Doin' the Raccoon" outa my thick head. Thanks to Dennis Nyback, a heckuva fella, and all who make these wonderful sounds and images available to us!

    Produced by Dennis Nyback of blessed memory. George Olsen from Portland to Culver City and New York. He brought Mel Blanc to New York! And my Grandpa Bob Effros performed with him too. 🎶🎺🎶

    The early sequences was from one of his 1940 Paramount musical shorts, featuring his band at the time...

    They are "The Bachelors". Bob Rice, Jack Clifford and the one on the right is my grandfather, Ronnie Mansfield who also had a radio show and was a regular on Fibber McGee and Molly. This footage is from a Paramount Pictures short film in 1940. I believe the woman in the piece is Jean Blaire. I have all of the still publicity pictures from the film but would love to get a copy of the film itself which features some solos as well.

    I think that the staged formality of a musical performance, referred to in the video, was quite normal for that time. Then, it was not so easy to photograph, let alone film anything. It was more a special occasion worthy of that extra effort on the part of the performers and any other participants.

    Was George ever in Chicago? I have his autograph from my grandmother's autograph book. From the Belmont theatre in Chicago.

      His band played all across the US and most assuredly the Belmont in Chicago.
