Most will find this producer's studio daydream sterile at best and obnoxious at worst but I like the song about his shrink and am fascinated by his compulsion to defend his Manson connections. With the requisite display of wealth and taste he insists he's merely a spectator--why, he wouldn't even know about the hand jive if it weren't for Soul Train. Alternate title: It's Alright, Ma, I Was Only Watching. C+
>Day joined the Les Brown Orchestra in August 1940. She stayed with the group until the following March when she left to marry Jimmy Dorsey trombonist Al Jorden, whom she'd begun dating back when both were part of the Barney Rapp band. Although Day was warned against marrying Jorden, she brushed off their concerns. Jorden proved to be a violent, controlling drunk and when she discovered that she was pregnant, he ordered her to get rid of the baby and abort it but she refused and was beaten by him. After Terry was born in February 1942 (named after his mother's favorite childhood comic strip Terry & The Pirates) Day split from Jorden and went back home to her parents in Cincinnati. She left the baby in their care and resumed touring with Les Brown. Al Jorden only ever saw his son a handful of times over the years and had no part in raising him.[2]
