		Kay got the job and traveled to New York where she made her network radio debut singing “Memphis Blues,” but two weeks later she was replaced by Helen Ward when management decided the program needed a more “seasoned” performer.
		In Kay’s view Capitol was not making any serious attempts to get her to re-sign, and she also felt that the label was treating her as it’s “utility singer” by the wide gamut of styles and material they had her record.
		Kay Starr has always considered herself a “saloon singer” who told a story with each song, and is critically recognized for the power and emotion of her singing style.

	Kay Kyser the Ol' Professor of Swing
		It should go without saying he was an integral part of the Kyser band's appeal, and fit in perfectly with Kay, Ginny Simms, Sully Mason and Ish Kabibble's pleasant, 'Come along with us', approachable style.
		Finally, Georgia Kyser once told me Harry was one of the finest examples of a family man that she'd ever seen.
		He probably could have reached superstardom, definitely talented enough, but he preferred to work in the L.A. area mostly, instead of constantly traveleing, to be there for his family, many of whom (nieces and nephews, grandkids)have left guestbook entries here telling of his kindnesses.

		Bandleader Kay Kyser, known as “the old professor” on the show, wore a fl robe and mortarboard hat.
		Kyser always enjoyed it when a contestant answered a true question “false” in the true-false part of the quiz, and shouted “That’s right, you’re wrong!” When a contestant would answer a question wrong, Kyser would then shout to the audience, “Students!” and the audience would together shout the correct answer at the contestant.
