Our sincerest thanks to Chicago media columnist Robert Feder for his nice write-up of our April 12 Those Were the Days program, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Chicago station WLS-the "Prairie Farmer" station that made so many important contributions to the Golden Age of Radio. Her'es hoping some of you can join us for the celebration!

I remember the Mitch Miller interview program.
I think it was called "The Green Room" -- or at least
those words were in the title.  He entertained
famous stars of various media.  I have the last show
from 7/15/1961 on cassette.  Happy to provide a
copy if anyone wants it.

 From Those Were The Days

4/17

1933   Backed by the On the Trail portion of the magnificent Grand
Canyon Suite, Johnny Roventini, pillbox hat and all, uttered the words
"Call for Philip Morris" for the first time on radio. The famous phrase
was said in perfect B flat pitch and tone to perfectly match the
accompanying music. This "Call for Philip Morris" phrase became one of
the most famous in all of advertising.

1935   People gathered around to listen for the first time to what would
become the ultimate horror show on NBC, Lights Out.

4/19

1924   The WLS Barn Dance began airing on WLS.

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

This Week's Classics & Curios Show:

"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"

Episode 116

EDDIE HUBBARD & THE BROWSERS: "HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS IN THE MORNING?"

The Mills Brothers kick things off in an opening "Extra" (filler in
place of a commercial) by Eddie Hubbard with their fine recording of "I
Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby." Then once again we join the
Browsers' in "Trivia Tower" to enjoy more fun challenges concerning the
great music of the big bands.

One especially fun trivia challenge involves the curio song "How Do You
Like Your Eggs in the Morning?" which is performed by a crooner, a
beautiful movie star, and a popular quartette. Another challenge is a
recording with the title "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me,"
performed in curio fashion by a cute TV actress who played a girl named
Cricket in a vintage TV detective show and by a comedian/singer who
played a Dad in a popular TV series during the 1950's on ABC and in the
1960's on CBS.

With the song "Baby Face," sung by Jimmy Roselli, we are asked to think
of other songs with the word "face" in the title. Maybe you can remember
Vic Damone's first hit as you listen to him sing "An Affair to
Remember," and perhaps you also can remember how many years "Harbor
Lights" was on "Your Hit Parade" as you hear that song as performed by
Eddie Howard. And as Doris Day sings "There Will Never Be Another You,"
you may recall the movie from which that tune came and the singer who
sang it in that movie. Do you know what the songs "You and I," performed
by Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey, and "Seventy-Six Trombones" have in
common?

Those are just some of the trivia challenges, songs, and performers on
this show from January 23, 1999, along with a mystery vocalist on
"Phil's Phooler" recording. So as Eddie brings other "Extras" like "The
Bunny Hop," "At Last," "The Jersey Bounce," and "No Name Jive" it's yet
another great show of "Eddie Hubbard & the Browsers."

Browsers" for rebroadcasting.
