The Last Saturday Phantom Dancer This Week!

Hello Phantom Dancers,

There are big changes afoot.

Firstly, this Saturday’s show will be the last.

After six years of being heard twice a week on 2SER, the show will now be heard just once weekly – every Tuesday at the same time since the late 1990s – 12 noon.

But, instead of being a 90 minute show on Tuesday, it’ll be 2 hours from next week, 12 noon – 2pm

And, sometime this year, and I don’t know when as yet, you’ll be able to hear The Phantom dancer any time you want on the 2SER website

And now for this week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, Vitaphone’s latest news on Hollywood from 1934. Enjoy!

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

Salutations Phantom Dancer,

Of course this week’s show has a version of ‘Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead’

But we’re a cut above the rest

We’ll be playing the live Glenn Miller swing version with Marion Hutton singing over WEAF New York in 1939. Make sure you tune in. What makes this version special? Marion obviously doesn’t think much of the song!

And since the famous song is from The Wizard Of Oz, this week’s Video Of The Week is a Command Performance USA film clip of Oz star, Judy Garland, singing the most famous song from the film, ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’. And Bob Hope’s in there, too. Enjoy!
