One Night Stand
The remote pickup, from wherever the band was playing
The remote was the plainest thing in broadcasting: a line from a ballroom, an announcer at a small table, and whatever the band happened to play that night. No script, no studio audience, no arrangement written for the microphone. AFRS collected these pickups by the hundred and shipped them out to the forces, and in doing so preserved the swing era as it actually sounded on a working Tuesday — tempos drifting, sections tired, soloists taking chances they would never take on a commercial record. The venue names are half the pleasure.
