Bio / Background
[THIS CD IS A NEW VERSION OF THE 2002 "MADE IN AMERICA" CD with 8 re-recorded tracks, two new vocalists, one NEWLY DISCOVERED song, and added violin, clarinet and ukulele.]
MADE IN AMERICA - VAUDEVILLE SONGS is a tribute to the thousands who traveled the vaudeville circuit of America from the 1880s through the early 1930s. In particular, one family by the Gumm, performed on the boards, the youngest of which became known as the world's greatest entertainer, Judy Garland.
THE STORY:
In 1895, Frank Gumm was singing popular songs of the day in Murfreesboro, TN (And the Band Played On). Soon he left Tennessee to perform in vaudeville (By the Light of the Silvery Moon). Arriving in Michigan, he met a pretty young woman named Ethel Milne and fell in love (Dream Girl). After getting married, the couple formed their own vaudeville act, (Made In America; Mary, You're A Little Bit Old Fashioned and Alexanders Ragtime Band).
↓ more ↓Before long, Frank and Ethel had settled down in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and had two little girls who performed on stage as well (I Never Had A Mammy). In 1922, the youngest, Frances was born. By the age of two and a half, she was insistent on singing too! (Tie Me To Your Apron Strings Again). Judy's mother Ethel, trained the girls and they had their own singing/dance act as the Gumm Sisters. (When My Sugar Walks Down the Street). At night, Frank Gumm would sing to the girls before they went to sleep (Danny Boy, Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen). The Gumm family moved to California in 1926, and on the way Ethel performed a song on stage which always made Baby (Judy) cry, called "I've Been Saving For a Rainy Day." The Gumms had one favorite song that every one of them performed at one time or another (Carolina in the Morning).
