Years Ago—July 28, 1942: Japanese end brutal campaign in Chekiang
Province, China in retaliation for support of US Doolittle Raid. Spike Jones
and His City Slickers record anti-Nazi novelty song “Der Fuehrer’s Face.”
Another Spike Jones on stage? Wait until the real one(!) comes back from his daily walkabout...(he arrived in the US carrying a guitar and yes, had his own group). Blessings to you and yours,
Sarah, I am in stitches! Married 37 years and I had no idea why Ex-RAF hubby chose this name! Just assumed it was a stage name when in fact service for H.R.M. E II demanded he find a call name (and that is the only thing he could come up with!) No resemblance but like all Brits each have their own particular sense of humour... Thanks for the memories!
