1950 - The summer replacement radio show for "Suspense", titled
"Somebody Knows", was heard for the final time on radio. The program
offered a reward of $5,000 ($49,744 in 2015 dollars) for information
that led to the solving of crimes. "Somebody Knows" began with the
introduction, "You out there. You, who think you have committed the
perfect crime -- that there are no clues, no witnesses -- listen.
Somebody knows."
8/22
1947 After many years as a 15 minute daily serial, Jack Armstrong, the
All American Boy, was heard for the first time as a 30 minute feature on
ABC. Remember, if you want to grow up to be big and strong like Jack
Armstrong, keep these three rules in mind: Get plenty of sleep, fresh
air and exercise. Make a friend of soap and water, because dirt breeds
germs and germs can make people sickly and weak. And for sound
nourishment and keen flavor, eat a big bowlful of Wheaties, the
Breakfast of Champions, with plenty of milk or cream and some type of fruit.
8/25
1949 NBC debuted Father Knows Best. The Thursday night program aired
for five years. Robert Young played the role of Jim Anderson, the ever
patient father. The rest of the family included wife Margaret, son Bud
and lovely daughters Betty (the eldest) and Kathy. The family lived on
Maple Street in Springfield.
8/26
1939 Arch Oboler's Plays presented the NBC Symphony, for the first
time, as the musical backdrop for the drama, This Lonely Heart.

This Week's Classics & Curios Show:
"Echoes of Songs and Laughter"
Episode 221
EDDIE HUBBARD SPECIAL: SWEET SONGS
Thomas Edison said, "Life's most soothing things are a child's goodnight
and sweet music." Memories of my kids', grandkids', and great grandkids'
goodnights confirm the first part of that quote, and today's show helps
confirm the second.
It's Eddie Hubbard's soothing Special devoted to delightful sweet music.
The show is dated November 15, 1989, and I am pleased to rebroadcast it
on CLASSICS & CURIOS almost 30 years later.
Bing Crosby's joyful "Sweet Georgia Brown" alone is worth listening to
this show. But there is much more. Besides Bing's great recording, Eddie
plays such great sweet tunes as "Sweethearts on Parade," "Sugar Time,"
"Candy Kisses," "A Taste of Honey," "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," "When My
Sugar Walks Down the Street," "Sugar Blues," "Candy," "Sweet Eloise,"
"Sweet Lorraine," and "Roses and Lollipops.
Featured artists, to name a few, include Nat King Cole, Johnny Mercer
and the Pied Pipers, Tony Bennett, the McGuire Sisters, Guy Lombardo and
Kenny Gardner, Glenn Miller and Ray Eberle, Clyde McCoy, Jimmie Rodgers,
and Jack Jones.
Under the influence of jazz greats like Bessie Smith and Ethel Waters,
but especially Louis Armstrong, young Bing Crosby sang with the rhythm
of swing, cool energy, precise articulation, improvised phrasing and fun
scat-singing in a "vibrant, virile baritone." [Gary Giddins, online] No
wonder that Bing's jazz-influenced "Sweet Georgia Brown" is my favorite
recording of this tune, although other artists have had great versions,
such as Django Reinhardt in the 1930's and Ethel Waters in the 1920's.
Also worth listening to still today are stylized versions by Cab
Calloway, the California Ramblers, Ella Fitzgerald, the Nat King Cole
Trio, Ray Charles, Count Basie, and even Harry James. And the almost
endless list goes on, even by the Beattles when the group backed singer
Tony Sheridan in Hamburg, Germany. A classic version continues as a
warm-up song by the Globetrotters, a whistling instrumental from 1949 by
Brother Bones and His Shadows.
Thanks, Eddie, for some positive sweet music to brighten our day. Truly,
in songs and every day speech, "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to
the soul and healing to the bones." - Pr. 16:24

Subject: trying to locate audio coppies of the old time
radio convention from Ohio
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
Hi Everybody,
A group of us is trying to preserve the audio copies of the interviews and
re-creations that were presented at all of the old time radio convention
over the years. We are trying to locate copies from the old time radio
convention from Ohio. Does any one have copies that we can preserve? I
understand most of the archives from that convention were lost in a flood.
Thank you for any help,
Walden Hughes
