Talk:Eddy Duchin

message: There's no other film in the world that reminds me a lovely and tender t.v. watching afternoon with my parents. Probably is not the finest movie ever made, but it will stay in my mind forever.
:I started an article on the movie, but to be honest I've never seen it. I just want to improve coverage of things linked to my parents' generation if I can. (Not trying to make you feel old, after all you saw it on TV)--T. Anthony 14:29, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Eddy Duchin movie

message: I was first introduced to the F word in this song when I picked up the original Brunswick 78 RPM record (Brunswick 8155, released 1938) a number of years back.  Then a year or so later in 1997 I picked up the CD entitled, "Best of Big Bands: Eddy Duchin" (Columbia CK 46150, released 1990), and it was in the accompanying booklet that I derived some of the information in my Wikipedia paragraph regarding sales figures and scandal.
Frankly, I know little beyond this and would be curious to know more about how scandalous the song was and what impact it had.  I have read that the song was banned in Britain, but I wonder if it was banned in certain communities in America.
I'm inclined to think that while there may have been earlier obscure uses of the word in recordings of songs, this usuage is landmark in that it is both an overt one and a mass consumption one, as it became a huge selling record.
It would be interested to hear from people who lived through this era and remember its impact.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Eddy Duchin.jpg

message: The lead says 1 April 1909.  IMDB says 10 April 1910.  Googling both these dates gives many hits for each:
* 1 April 1909: 
* 10 April 1910: .
So, we need someone to tell us which one's correct, and why.  --  JackofOz (talk) 03:00, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of birth

message: Does anyone know just when Mr. Duchin started his gig at the Central Park Casino? The intro says he was a "bandleader during the 1930s and 1940s", but did he possibly start in the late 1920s? (Granted, he would have been pretty young.) The style of the orchestral arrangements of the earliest tracks on the "Talk Of The Town" 2-CD set, albeit no earlier than 1932, have a lot of late-1920s idioms (heavy tremolo by the saxes, the type of trumpet mute, many others).
