Paul Whiteman: Jimmy, did you form that band?
Jimmy Connors: Yes, sir. I kind of cooked it up. But I can't very well pull out on them now.
Paul Whiteman: That's good enough for me. Jimmy, let me tell you something. When I started out, a band was a bunch of boys with instruments who got together and beat out rhythm for the rest of the folks to dance to. But now it's a profession, and a mighty important one. Take the big bandleader of today. He's almost a household word. He's as well known as your biggest picture actor or your popular baseball player. Fred Waring, Kay Kyser, Glenn Miller. All very popular. But once they were a little guy called Jimmy Connors who - just sort of cooked things up
