Sound recording of an interview of bandleader Moxie Whitney by Vicki Gabereau, host of the radio series Variety Tonight. The interview takes place in Vancouver, where Whitney is currently based for an extended engagement at the Panorama Room of the Hotel Vancouver. In addition to his current engagement, Whitney discusses his life and career in music, including his piano studies as a child, switching to guitar following a hand injury in a farm accident, his wartime service in a Royal Canadian Air Force entertainment unit, his role as a hotel orchestra leader (Banff Springs, Royal York, Royal Hawaiian, Chateau Laurier), and stars in the entertainment world with whom he has worked (e.g., Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee). Other topics discussed include: Whitney's stay in the Cayman Islands in the early 1970s and his activities there as a hotelier and businessperson; and the forthcoming staff reunion at the Banff Springs Hotel. Included is the playback of commercial music recordings, among them two by Whitney's orchestra: Duke Ellington Medley; Benny Goodman Medley. <27mn 54s>
