The False Ducks Blahg

   The answer to the question title of this blahg should be yes.  Afterall, it was only a couple of blahgs ago. In case you don’t know what I’m referring to or maybe you’ve been kicked in the head recently by a mule, or any other animal of your choice with a hefty kick, and possibly lost your memory, all or part of it, then you really should check out that previous blahg WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT BLAHG ON DOTTIE REID? 

Dottie Reid was a big band singer but if you check out that other blahg then you’ll learn all that.  The purpose of this blahg is an addendum to that other blahg.  I had posted a number of songs and live remotes by Dottie Reid but there were a few that I didn’t have access to until now.  Here’s what I said in that last blahg:

There are a couple of Buddy Rich albums featuring live remotes of his band, with Dorothy Reid, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.  They are inaptly titled “One Night Stand with Buddy Rich” and “One Night Stand with Buddy Rich Volume 2”.   I say inaptly because the first record features selections from Buddy Rich’s band at the Hollywood Palladium March 27th and 28th, 1946.  “Volume 2” features selections from Buddy Rich and company from the Hollywood Palladium on March 21, March 27th, and March 28th, 1946.  None of the tracks from March 27th from the first album are repeated in the selections from the same date on the second album. 

I was able to track down and post the tracks from “One Night Stand with Buddy Rich” which was essentially volume.  I eventually purchased Volume 2 to locate the missing tracks.  Here’s what I had to say about Volume 2 in that previous blahg: 

“One Night Stand With Buddy Rich Volume 2” features the song “Personality” from March 21, 1946 at the Hollywood Palladium, “Do You Love Me” from March 27th at the Palladium, and “Just A-Sittin’ And A-Rockin’ ” from March 28th.  I haven’t been able to track down a copy of the album but someone has posted a version of “Just A-Sittin’ And A-Rockin’ ” on YouTube which they reference as being from ” 3/1946″ which is probably from the Hollywood Palladium:

Before I talk about the “Just A Sittin’ And A Rockin’ ” track, let me post the front and back covers for “One Night Stand With Buddy Rich, Volume 2.”  Be sure and click on the images to view even larger images:

One other thing of note about Dottie Reid’s appearance with Buddy Rich is that she was billed as Dorthy Reid. 

   Now, as to the above YouTube video of Dorothy Reid performing “Just A Sittin’ And A Rockin’ “, I believe it probably is the same track that appears on the Volume 2 album.  The album references the track coming from the March 28th, 1946 appearance of Dorothy with Buddy Rich at the Hollywood Palladium whereas the YouTube video only references “3/1946.”  I believe they are the same but you can compare for yourself.  Here’s the album version: 

   Now for the other two tracks on the album that I could not post in the previous blahg.  First up is “Personality” from March 21, 1946 at the Hollywood Palladium:

And finally, here’s “Do You Love Me” from March 27, 1946 at the Hollywood Palladium:

   The only other recordings of Dottie Reid’s that I could not post about last time referred to some 1953 records she made with Chic Layne.  Here’s what I posted about that:

The next listing I can find for a Dottie Reid recording is the following reference from the May 23, 1953 issue of Billboard: 

I came up with a blank in terms of other information for this recording, an image, or even the ability to stream it from somewhere.  The June 6th, 1953 issue of Billboard does make reference to two recordings by Dottie Reid with Tonex that may have been issued on the Twentieth Century label.  Unfortunately there’s no information about the songs themselves:

  I could find no updates for the Tonex recordings but I’ll keep looking.  Maybe someday I’ll find those recordings and have to pen another addendum blahg with the title, “HEY, REMEMBER THAT ADDENDUM BLAHG ABOUT DOTTIE REID WHERE I SAID I MIGHT HAVE TO WRITE AN ADDENDUM BLAHG TO THE ADDENDUM BLAHG?”  Maybe you’ll get your memory back and remember both of these blahgs.  Until then, stay away from mules…oh yeah, and goats.
