This is a dated autograph by Artie Shaw (from 1949) I had dug up in the web years ago; it has survived some computer crashes until today (May 21, 2009).
So I took the chance and can now proudly present it to you again, combined with nine musical dreams, recorded by Mr. Shaw between 1937 and 1946.
The most famous of them – beside the psychodelic instrumental Nightmare, Artie’s theme song – is certainly Deep In A Dream with Helen Forrest’s warmhearted vocal delivery.
I wish you good dreams wherever you’re listening.
Nightmarishly yours truly,
Brew

Afraid To Dream – Peg LaCentra (1937)

Deep In A Dream – Helen Forrest (1938)
Many Dreams Ago – Helen Forrest (1939)
Without A Dream To My Name – Helen Forrest (1939)
Dreaming Out Loud – Martha Tilton (1940)


This Time The Dream’s On Me – Bonnie Lake (1941)
Someone Is Rocking My Dreamboat – Paula Kelly (1941)

It’s The Same Old Dream – Mel Tormé with Artie Shaw (1946)

P.S.: One of his later RCA-Lp-covers was entitled “A Man And His Dream”, but the fellow on that cover is definitely not Artie Shaw.
It’s some other bald head who just looks like him… NOT!









Paula Kelly was a nice singer and as hot as chili from Michoacan. Rockin my dreamboat every time.
