Well, if he brings "Christmas Island", Jimmy Buffett's version of "Mele
Kalikimaka" is as good as Bing's and his backup singers sound just like the
Andrews Sisters.
I just saw a local production of "Sisters of Swing" about the Andrews
Sisters (they were, after all, from Minnesota). The girls were great, but
the guy who played Bing (Accentuate the Positive), Danny Kaye (All I want
for Christmas is my two front teeth), and Carmen Miranda (Rum and Coca-Cola)
was a real hoot!
The Dorseys had some great ones. "We've crossed the wildest river" is a one
I remember liking.
As for Guy Lombardo, all I ever heard from him was schmaltz.
