Seems to me optimistic songs used to be pretty big back in the day. Time for the trend to come back around?

Isn’t that show wonderful?! Whenever I hear it’s on RadioClassics I stop & listen. Love that your Grandpa called people Jackson! I don’t think my parents were Benny fans even though they were of the generation to be potential fans (born in 1921 & 24).

This is a moment for the crack staff of the Howard Stern Show. I'm waiting for Mr. Stern to send one of his people to ask, out loud & on the record at a public event, the questions that break through the noise:

Here is an example:

Separation of Church and State was an intent constitution authors wanted but to create a specific law violates 1A.

At least we've got opt-out provisions.🤷‍♂️

When Marlon Brando was sworn to testify to god at his son's trial in 1990, he said "No" & the judge accommodated.

Bob Bailey, the iconic radio star, 🎙️✨ shined in Let George Do It as witty detective George Valentine 🕵️‍♂️ and in Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar as the sharp insurance investigator. 💼🔍

His smooth voice and talent made him a legend of classic radio! 📻🎭

Any other Radioclassics people unable to read "Green Hornet" with an internal voice saying "Green Harnet"?
I'm not old enough to have listened to broadcasts, but I act it sometimes 😀

My radio is either set to RadioClassics, the BBC World Service, or Radio One, so I usually get the Canadian version.

Also, man, the CBC call-in shows are packed with Canadians who could literally be the 80 year old Republicans who live down the street from me with Trump shit all over the place.

I enjoy listening to classic radio programs on Sirius Radio Classics. Especially the Westerns and detective shows.
Right now, I'm listening to Fort Laramie. It was one of the best Westerns of its time. You can listen to this episode here.

Fort Laramie (Radio) 1956 (ep01) Playing Indian

(40 Episodes & 1 Audition) Fort Laramie is a CBS Radio Western series starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince. It aired Sunday afternoons January 22–October 28, 1956, at 5:30pm ET. Produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell, this Western drama depicted life at old Fort Laramie during the 19th Century. The 41 episodes starred Raymond Burr as Lee Quince, captain of the cavalry. One year later, Burr became a television star as Perry Mason In the series, the fort had 400 troops in all but they had to keep their eye on a nearby Indian reservation with 4,000 Sioux camped there. Major Ned Daggart led the troops, and he didn't always see eye to eye with Quince. Daggart had a niece called Terrie Lawson, who had her eye on the captain. Supporting regulars included Vic Perrin as Sgt. Gorse, Harry Bartell as the slightly green Lt. Seiberts and Jack Moyles as Major Daggett. Heard on a more irregular basis were Howard McNear as Pliny the fort sutler, Sam Edwards as Trooper Harrison, and in a variety of roles, such actors as John Dehner, John McIntire, Virginia Gregg, James Nusser, Parley Baer and Barney Phillips. Amerigo Marino supplied the music. The scripts were mostly written by John Meston, Kathleen Hite, Les Crutchfield and John Dunkel. John Dehner originally auditioned for the part of Lee Quince in a story that was later remade with Burr in the lead, called "The Boatwright's Story".

The ads* on RadioClassics on Sirius almost never give out websites, but rather they'll scream a phone # at you 3 times in a row. Which...yeah, that makes sense. www.siriusxm.com/channels/rad...

*real ones, not the vintage ones, which they also play and are adorable
