Fred Waring Show - September 12, 1947
Here’s another great show to help celebrate the July 4th weekend.
From NBC’s Radio City in New York, we hear the September 12, 1947 episode of the “Fred Waring Show”. The program kicks off with a rollicking version of the old tune, “Hindustan”, but most of the program is taken up by a salute to the “Great Forty-Eight”, a medley of songs about various states that, I think, pretty much mentions every state in the union at the time. The series was sponsored by the Minnesota Valley Canning Company, makers of Green Giant corn and peas so we get to hear Waring’s group perform some great singing Green Giant commercials.
This rare, uncirculated program was transferred from original line check acetate transcription from unknown local NBC station and it includes opening system cue and NBC chimes.
