At the time this story happened Marie had had three babies. She had gone to a Military Ball where Tommy Dorsey was going to be playing. Her second cousin’s daughter sang with his band. Marie’s cousin introduced Marie to Tommy and told him that Marie could sing. She asked him if Marie could sing with his band that night, just one song would be so nice of him. Tommy said, “Well get her up here.”
There was just one problem, as with many new mothers, the babies had taken the calcium from her teeth. She had had to have her teeth pulled, so she carried a fan with her.
In those days they had no microphones, so the audience had to be quiet as little mice. She sang a song with a fan in front of her face which made hearing her even more difficult for the audience. That night was exciting and embarrassing at the same time. However, how many of us can say we sang with the Tommy Dorsey Band?
