Ish Kabibble: The Autobiography of Merwyn Bogue

February 11, 2019
His name isn't even Ish Kabibble! He was born Merwyn Bogue on 19 January 1908 in North East, Pennsylvania (that's a real place). The name Ish Kabbible was adopted as a stage name from an old Jewish song titled "Isch Gabibble" which he sang as a novelty act as part of the Kay Kyser Band. Bogue played with Kyser from 1931 to 1950 including that part of World War II when the band enlisted and toured to boost troop morale. In addition to the funny stories about goofy things they did as band members, there is some serious introspection about war and peace in this autobiography. Bogue married Janet Meade in 1932, they had three children (named Bogue, not Kabibble) and were still married when he died of respiratory failure in 1994. Fortunately, he and his sister, Gladys B. Reilly wrote this book in 1989. While the scope of the book includes the Big Band tours with singers Ginny Simms, Harry Babbitt and Mike Douglas, it tells too little of how the Kyser Orchestra became one of the leading musical groups in America.
