Review by Annett T. Block
Blue Barron And His Orchestra’s album, “Cruising Down The River Powder Your Face With Sunshine,” is a delightful collection of swing and big band music that is sure to please any fan of the genre. The album features 25 tracks, each one showcasing the incredible musicianship of the orchestra.
From the upbeat “Cruising Down The River” to the romantic “You Belong To My Heart,” the album offers a diverse range of styles and moods. The orchestra’s use of brass and percussion is particularly impressive, adding depth and energy to each track.
The album’s standout track is undoubtedly “Powder Your Face With Sunshine,” a lively and infectious tune that will have listeners tapping their feet and humming along. Blue Barron And His Orchestra’s rendition of the classic song is flawless, capturing the essence of the swing era with its catchy melody and upbeat tempo.

I have the vinyl!! lol
A GEM of nostalgia, another unwished wish fulfilled by YouTube, that welcomes me back to a gratifying, peaceful, gracious and cherished time. LIsten closely, for these qualities abound in this masterpiece of simplicity and dulcet Harmony - inviting us back to The Old Republic before it was abused and despoiled by deadly spiteful politicians and bankers. ............. Thank You, CatsPjamas1 !
Another favorite song from my childhood days. Loved to sing along. Still do.
Happy Birthday to the Late Blue ? Barron! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas ⛄? Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not ? Blessings and Hugs ????????????????????????????????????????????????????!
A great older standard. Always enjoyable to hear and also play along with. USA NH
My gran taught me this song when I was very young. Now she has Alzheimers and all I have of her are our songs and the memories!
No. 1 song the day I was born
chanson de ma naissance 1949 !!!!!!

The Blue Baron Orchestra cam to my hometown as a result of the ladies Junior Service Club in 1958, as I recall. They were great. They played for three hours and non-stop. That was in Venice, Il at the American Legion, Post 307. Those were the days, as is said by many old timers such as me now.
@grannyhotpants Those must have been great times. Thanks so much for commenting!
Yes, it was. While I was growing up, he taught me so much and I Loved hearing his storiees about being on the road . I really enjoyed it! Thanks again, Chris (Straub) Siegel) :)
Yes he did. His name was Ernie Straub, and he was one of the three "Blue Notes". "Blue" nicknamed him "Hotcha". He sang backup and played coronet.
@grannyhotpants You're welcome! Did your father sing on this recording?
Thanks for the memories, Cat'sPjamas! My Father, Ernie Straub, was one of the three "Blue Notes". I MISS HIM SO MUCH!
@TheSteamtramman You used thorns?
Köszönöm a feltöltést <:o)
No problem; an elderly neighbour (who had done the same in the First World War) showed us what to look for: blackthorn bush I think. Lasted at best a handful of playings. Said neighbour also had 80 rpm records of great age. I am told at one time, probably 1920s, you could get a thorn sharpener. Big business!!
by the end of the war we could not get steel needles for our 78s and had to use thorns from the hedgerows; this record just missed that!!
