    Someone told me that he was responsible for waring appliances.  Is this true?

     From Those Were The Days

    7/25

    1933   The first broadcast of The Romance of Helen Trent was heard. The
    show continued on the air for 7,222 episodes and 27 years. Amazingly,
    Helen stayed 35 years of age throughout the entire series. The show used
    two Helen Trents over the years. The first Helen was played by
    Virginia Clark (for 11 years) and the second by Julie Stevens (for 16
    years).

    1933   During his fourth Fireside Chat, [removed] President Franklin D.
    Roosevelt showed why the homey, warm, comfortable discussion was,
    indeed, a fireside chat. The President stopped the discussion on the air
    and asked for a glass of water, which he then sipped. Newsman Robert
    Trout is credited with coming up with the name, Fireside Chat, because
    of real moments like this.

    1943   Foreign Assignment, was first heard on Mutual. The title role of
    Brian Berry was played by Jay Jostyn, who also starred in another
    popular radio drama, Mr. District Attorney.

    In 1940, Rudy Vallee began broadcasting for Sealtest. Shortly before

    owed there start in show business to Rudy Vallee.

    SONGS BY SINATRA from 02/06/46 Ep022 Bob Hope.

    In the early days of Television, Hopalong Cassidy was very very popular.
    He also had a radio show. William Boyd was the star of that show and
    we'll hear an example.

    Lastly, Jackson Beck was born on 07/23/2012 He would have been 101 this

    ====================================

    This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

    "Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

    Episode 81

    EDDIE HUBBARD & THE BROWSERS: "SATCHMO, FOUR BOYS & A GUITAR, & THE [removed]"

    Louis Armstrong ("Satchmo") and the Mills Brothers ("Four Boys & a
    Guitar") recorded a song in 1940 called "[removed]" (originally "Works
    Progress Administration" -- in 1939 the word "Progress" appropriately
    gave way to "Projects.") The recording in a way immortalized the "New
    Deal" 1935 program that brought work relief to more than [removed] million
    people. People built roads, public parks, airports, bridges, and public
    buildings for an average salary of $[removed] a month. On this Browsers Show
    "Satchmo" and the "Boys" perform this rather historic tune to highlight
    this week's episode. This is a rare recording and the only one Louis did
    with the Mills Brothers. The trivia question in connection with it
    concerns identifying what other artists made recordings with the great
    Louis Armstrong.

    Other interesting songs on this Browsers Show from July 7, 1996, include
    the curio "Hi Yo Silver" by Dick Todd with the accompanying simple
    request to tell the name of the masked rider who spoke those words on
    radio and on TV. Also, after we hear "All I Need is You" by Peggy Lee
    and Benny Goodman we are challenged to name other girl singers with
    Benny's band, in particular the girl who made the most recordings with
    him. Jimmy Lunceford's band performs "Ain't She Sweet," leading to a
    question involving other artists who recorded this tune, in particular
    the artist who first recorded it. Pee Wee Hunt does "How Come You Do Me
    Like You Do Do Do," following which we need to think of other songs with
    at least 2 "Do's" in the title. Browsers president Phil Holdman, with a
    chuckle, rules out the German "Du Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen," but Eddie
    cites his own vintage (and clearly "rare") recording called "Do Do
    Something."

    More songs include "Just Because" (featuring famous trumpet player Don
    Jacoby who performed with several great bands and taught at North Texas
    University), Joni James' "You're My Everything," Tommy Dorsey's "Who?"
    featuring Jack Leonard on the vocal, and Charlie Spivak's "I Used to
    Love You."

    Eddie has added to our enjoyment by replacing commercials with fill-ins
    such as "Midnight in Moscow" by Kenny Ball and his Jazz Men, "Night and
    Day," "Time After Time," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," and "Tuxedo
    Junction." So enjoy the show.

    Folks;

       If you asked to be added to the web-based Copy share and weren't because I
    messed up, drop me a note. If you have installed Copy and didn't get the
    email address you use on Copy added to the share and would like to access the
    files, drop me a note. If you don't use Copy and would like to, or you don't
    know what the devil I'm talking about, drop me a note.  ;)

       Remember that the way this folder is shared you WON'T receive the files in
    your Copy folder automatically, you need to bookmark and check the web link
    occasionally to see what's changed or new. This way, you only need download
    what you're interested in (as we all know, my tastes are pretty [removed])
    instead of having everything forced upon you.

             Charlie
