Just fantastic. Listening to Bing and Lucille Hall. Why doen't anyone offer these on CD or for download? Such a shame. No better way to experience the 40s than radio shows.
The Crosby show just posted was available on this 30-CD set fom Radio Spirits, along with many other complete '40s radio programs: —> 60 Greatest Old-Time Radio Shows Starring FRANK SINATRA AND FRIENDS
