That was from a late-1950s TV show called "Peter Gunn"  The main character hung around in a jazz club all the time and the singer was his girlfriend.  The Benny Goodman Trio (1935-36), which featured Teddy Wilson on piano (and Gene Krupa on drums), is generally recognized as the first interracial band.  They later added Lionel Hampton on vibraphone.  His later big band featured Charlie Christian on the (then new) electric guitar.

I heard him say that truckers use a large book to log miles, cargo, fuel, routes, etc. Truckers call it their big log. And that is somehow where he got the name about a love song for the highway.

Speaking of timeathons-

Suite Thursday is said to have debuted on September 21, 1960 at Monterey, CA.
