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.

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