One More Time!: The Dal Richards Story

This story takes a loving look back at the gigs, laughter and musical misadventures of a time when the songs came from records and radio instead of CDs and iPods. It was a time when the music business was rich with characters like "Two-for Joe," who ran the spotlight at the Cave and frequently took it off the performer to turn it on his girlfriend lest she was cavorting with a new beau; and the one-hit wonder singer and piano player who had to hide between performances because a Mafia hit man was looking to turn out his lights.

On his ninetieth birthday Dal sold out the Orpheum Theatre; in 2009 he released a new CD; in 2010 he ran in the Olympic Torch relay, and when the Dal Richards Orchestra launches into "In the Mood, " graceful dancers are set swinging, just as their parents, and even grandparents, have done--through seven decades of keeping the music alive.
